Russian Car Driver ZIL 130

Modern games are bright, attractive, cinematic, but they have lost their soulfulness. There are not many atmospheric projects. “Driving simulator ZIL 130” is an incredibly cozy, nostalgic game in the best sense of the word. The best thing to do is to unload your head.

Plot and gameplay

The main character returns from the army. His friend helps him remember his past skills: the hero previously drove a truck well. After a little training, the player sets off on a free voyage. And an old friend almost immediately gives him a job: he found a vacancy for the player in local cargo transportation.

The name reflects the essence: “Russian Car Driver ZIL 130” is a game about a truck driver. But driving is not the main thing, the main thing is to catch the drive. The game has a very special atmosphere, it is incredibly sincere and dear. Familiar songs are played on the radio (Russian and foreign rock like “Agatha Christie” and “Scorpions”), broken roads and gray high-rise buildings lie around... The simulator itself (quite high-quality, by the way) fades into the background.

Peculiarities

1. The game has two modes, arcade and full-fledged simulator. You can also adjust the difficulty (expressed in the amount of starting money).
2. There are different loads available, you will have to find an approach to them. Delivery must be completed within the specified time frame. Do it faster - you'll get more.
3. There is a map in the game, but it is not always convenient to use. There is no mini-map. There are several camera modes, but you can only get a really good view by turning off the engine. The more interesting!
4. The original truck can be repainted and upgraded. However, not only him. You can buy real estate and hire other drivers to help you. Become the king of cargo transportation!
