Quick summary
American Truck Simulator is a lightweight truck-driving game that focuses on short sessions rather than deep simulation. It’s simple to pick up, but the presentation and scope are limited compared with modern racing/driving titles.
Trucks and purchase options
- Brown and black paint jobs are offered as premium options that require in-game currency (gold coins).
- The stock red livery is available to all players at no cost.
Game modes and level structure
- Parking mode challenges you to slot your truck into tight spaces without hitting cones, islands, or other obstacles.
- Mission mode sends you out on street runs that test basic driving skills.
There are only two modes and a total of 20 stages: 10 in Parking and 10 in Mission.
Controls and customization
- You can switch camera perspectives between cockpit and chase views.
- Headlights can be toggled on and off during play.
- Gear selection is represented by the familiar letters for Drive, Park, and Reverse.
- A clutch control is present to simulate gear changes, and multiple steering control schemes are available. Note: the on-screen control layout is fixed — you cannot rearrange icons or change their transparency.
Visuals and content depth
The graphics are modest and feel dated by current standards. Content is limited: few vehicle color options, only two game types, and a small number of levels, so the game may not hold long-term interest for players seeking extensive features or advanced visuals.
Who this is for
If you want a short, no-frills driving experience that doesn’t demand high-end graphics or a long time commitment, this title can be enjoyable. If you’re after a deep simulator with many vehicles, extensive customization, and dozens of hours of content, look elsewhere.
