About the game
Euro
Truck Simulator 2 offers an exciting simulation experience with physics,
graphics and gameplay developed by the experienced team at SCS Software, the
leading experts in Truck Simulation titles.Set in Europe, the player can drive across a depiction of
Europe, visiting its cities, picking up a variety of cargos, and delivering
them.
The
game now features two new truck companies, Scania and Renault, with MAN
returning from the original game. DAF, Iveco Mercedes-Benz and Volvo trucks
were not officially licensed and had their names changed to DAV, Ivedo,
Majestic and Valiant respectively. Later updates included the official branding
for the DAF XF, Volvo FH16 and Iveco Stralis. On April 16, 2013, SCS released a
Linux beta version of the game to the public through Steam.
Gameplay
Players
choose their starting city from various locations in Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The player initially can only take quick
jobs. As the player earns more money or takes bank loans enough to buy a truck,
the player can choose what cargo he or she wants to deliver. The money
earned/loaned can then be spent on upgrading or purchasing new trucks, hiring
AI drivers to take on deliveries and expanding the home garage.
The
player will also gain experience after each delivery and a skill point is
awarded after levelling up. Skill points can be used to unlock deliveries that
require different ADR classes, longer distance deliveries, special cargoes,
fragile cargoes, deliveries that are urgent and Eco-driving. The game features
sixty four cities in twelve different countries, over twenty different types of
cargo and over fifteen fictional European companies
