Support Moldova's gamedevs Game is super fun with a lot of easter eggs and references to post USSR culture. That is the real Chisinau trolley experience 10/10.

Super fun game but gets frustrating after a while, got it as it got released and playing it right now! However the fighting minigame needs to be tweaked a bit, sometimes the game gets too chaotic and yes being chaotic might be the idea of the game but it gets a bit TOO chaotic and makes it almost impossible to handle everything, especially when half of the bus wants to fight you, and if I want to kick out people …

Best way I can describe this game is... Papers Please, but on a trolly, with several rules that cause you to be heartless. My first ever run, I got a rulechange that resulted in me having to unceremoniously kick off grandma's off my bus. It's frantic, but if you've ever been in a high stress, multiple elements at once environment, you will LOVE it. Humor is top notch.

finally get to live out my dream of fist fighting the elderly in public transit

it's extremely dumb and hilarious when there are directives to just kick out the kids and the elderly out of the moving bus, especially when you do it as soon as they enter then i came back home and played the game, it's very cool

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I squared up with a kid then threw 3 grandmas out for bringing pickles onto my Trolley. I do not understand. I only Trolley.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun for about 10 minutes, to be honest. Let's face it the game is good, but even for the small price sells for, it just doesn't make sense of buy it. Unfortunately there just isn't enough content.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →glory to moldova
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's fun if you are Romanian/Moldavian and play it in Romanian. it's also fun to play it along with a friend sitting next to you so that u can laugh together about it. however, it is a pretty simple and short game, and definitely not worth 10 euros in my opinion.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →whats there left to say that hasn't been said before? This game is a joy to play and look at. The concept is something ive been waiting for ages to see done in a game. Its wacky, its made in Moldova, and you can drop kick old ladies and children. Absolute cinema.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been following this one for a while since the demo dropped and it's finally here. The music goes unnecessarily hard. 10/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Troleu is an exciting game about hurling passengers bodily from trolleybuses in a transit economy that relies on trading stolen cigarettes with shoplifters. www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/th...
neutral · AI labelView post →This should get renamed to Chisinau Simulator 2025. Game comprised entirely of cliches (every single one is true) and cultural references which are going to appeal to the entire eastern european community, it can replace your future trip to Moldova in case you have any of them planned. NOT ONE aspect of this game is accidental, and there is nothing used as placeholder. Everything is a reference to real life, characters, what they're doing, what they're saying, their names, the environment. This…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TROLEU is an instructive and cheerful of public transit in Moldova embraced and recommended by the Oficiul Național de Turism al Republicii Moldova. Play before your visit and recommend to all your friends. Mandatory for american vistitors.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →least stressful day in the balkans (i am tweaking)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a simple, fun premise at the start, but it eventually collapses under the weight of its own janky ragdoll mechanics. By the later stages, the screen is nothing but a chaotic, colliding pile of NPCs that makes the actual game loop impossible to play, leaving you more frustrated than entertained.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →quite funny it does remind me a lot of the bucharest trolley
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game made me realise how stressful ticket inspectors jobs are, but you can kick people and throw them off the bus so that's an added bonus. And also Caseoh is in the game, i'm surprised he doesn't need two seats... Or the whole bus!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My whole life I hated ticket inspectors, it's retribution time. 10/10, game of the year
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m forever baffled by people who make it more difficult for other commuters / who leave more work behind for others and say, ‘eh, it’s someone’s job to __.’ Maybe I need a little justice in my life, perhaps even crave a bit of chaos. If you feel the same, gee wiz, I gotta game for you. It’s like Bus Simulator meets Papers, Please: idk, it’s silly, chaotic, cathartic, it’s its own thing. Run a tight ship, throw disruptive grans off the bus, tell that baby to shut their pie hole, etc.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a fun idea and I enjoyed it for couple of hours but after that I didn't manage to get any further in the game. This could be a skill issue but it seems pretty hard to make progress and further levels are locked behind progress so I didn't even get to see those. I can't even make it through the countryside level. It would help if the upgrades from dealers would stack so you could at least grind to become stronger. I guess you could keep playing and you would be lucky enough to get an easy…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only ever experienced Lithuanian trolly cars for eastern european public transport, but I showed my Moldovan coworkers this game and the second they saw the rugs hanging on the wall in the bus they said it was definitely Moldovan. Super simple, but hectic and fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly, feels like a fever dream. repetitive, yes, but it has enough variation in events that it keeps you engaged for a good amount of time. stupid fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked this game generally, and I even find the gameplay loop relatively enjoyable. It's funny, unique, and it's very satisfying to kick off those fare evaders. The difficulty level even in early stages seems either too high or too low, mostly too high. The game is priced right at under $10 but I'm not sure there's enough novelty here.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only good thing about Moldova is this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game is good and it is well priced. I enjoy playing it because it can sometime create a messy situation. It has alot of good references about the country that I find funny. Overall good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an absolutely chaotic game and a lot more fun than I expected As a bus attendant, you need to take customers' money and supply them with tickets. However, you'll get customers who want to fight, bumpy bus rides that cause customers to drop jars of brine or animal feed, and a ticket inspector just waiting for an opportunity to start a fight with you. The difficulty starts ramping up quickly, with random modifiers that can make the journey even harder (such as extra stinky customers)…

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a fun premise about managing tickets on a trolley while kicking off any fare evaders. I didn't play much to see how it can get overwhelming rather quickly. You operate in a narrow and small corridor, which doesn't sound bad at first until you get swarmed by a bunch of NPCs huddling together. It makes it extremely tedious to get to other NPCs, especially the rule breakers. Not only that, but it is pretty hard to get a high score even if you get a majority of passengers served and get…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There should be more achievements for kicking grandmas off the bus
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like this is a nightmare for someone with severe ADHD. This game is initially fun, yet falls flat in terms of replayability. While there are around 7 or 8 different maps, you're still confined to the same bus. The only difference would be serving different passengers. Long story short, if you're fine with a novel concept that has a repetitive gameplay loop, then get it. Otherwise, even the small price tag doesn't justify buying it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is quite good. Imagine a first person papers please with QTE's. Getting the S ranks on maps is very difficult and the gameplay loop is very fun and engaging. High recommend!
