From first job to full company
You start with little more than Hape's advice and work your way up contract by contract. Each finished job pays out, and the money goes straight into more powerful machines for your fleet.
You pick what to take next, from small site work to large infrastructure builds. Diverse clients keep changing the requirements, so one day you are moving earth and the next you are placing walls and roofs or pouring concrete for foundations.
Two maps with different work
There are two campaigns in two places. Friedenberg is a green German town of rolling hills and rivers, where you help with renewable energy and city infrastructure. Sunny Haven is an American harbor city that needs its tourist areas brought back to life.
Together they hold more than 100 contracts, plus seasonal work and a newer tourist district. Collectibles hidden around both maps give you a reason to drive around between jobs.
A huge fleet of real machines
You get more than 90 machines from brands like Caterpillar, Liebherr, MAN, Scania, Bobcat, CASE, Kenworth and Doosan, modeled on their real counterparts. Excavators, dump trucks, cranes, rollers, concrete pumps and mixers all handle differently.
You can switch buckets on excavators like the Wacker Neuson EW100 and ET145, call in a service vehicle to refuel and repair, and dress your driver in licensed Engelbert Strauss work gear. A flashlight helps on darker sites, and a larger vehicle hall holds the growing collection.
Best with friends on site
You can play alone in first or third person, or bring up to three friends in cross-platform multiplayer with voice chat. One of you digs, another hauls soil away, a third runs the crane.
Shared building is a highlight, since big contracts involve enough driving, lifting and pouring to keep a whole crew busy. Solo players can still finish everything, with the option to skip steps that were built for a team.
What else should you know?
How does the campaign work?
You build a business from scratch with guidance from Hape. You take contracts, earn money, buy machines, and unlock larger jobs. Friedenberg focuses on energy and infrastructure, while Sunny Haven focuses on harbor and tourism repairs, for more than 100 contracts in total.
What machines can you drive?
Over 90, from compact loaders to tower cranes and concrete pumps. They come from licensed makers such as Atlas, BELL, Bomag, Mack Trucks, Palfinger, DAF, CIFA, Nooteboom and Wacker Neuson, plus older franchise favorites. You dig, haul, lift, compact and pour with them across every stage of a build.
Can you play with friends?
Yes. Friends can split driving and machine duties, which makes the bigger road and building contracts move faster and feel livelier.
Is it relaxing or challenging?
Relaxed more than demanding. Driving between sites, positioning machines and placing materials takes care rather than reflexes, with guides that show what goes where. Traffic rules, tight yards and heavy steering still ask for patience, especially with large trucks and trailers.
