I don't get it why they made this game a cheap clone of their airline manager game. By no means, its pathetic, but it has some serious flaws in terms of economics, finance & railway ops. There are some wierd issues like no option of loans/lease for such capital intensive business, revenue including fine is collected at the beginner of journey (seriously!), capital & revenue expenses are clubbed for profit calculation (seriously!), no local train rakes, no variable coach composition in rakes etc.

I wish game Developers would employ knowledge support people . Who would understand when a customer is offering help to identify flaws in the design of the game . The overall idea of this game is amazing. But when it cones to trains. < Devil is in the details> Trains are serious to many of us. Keep working on the details and maybe we can get the stars up on the reviews.

The game kinda sucks tbh. It's also very not-intuitive and there's no tutorial or anything so that makes it difficult. But basically it sucks because there's almost zero strategy to it, or at least zero strategy that makes any sense. Spend your time elsewhere

Still playing but the lack of decent trains that can go distance is frustrating. Why does an electric train have a maximum distance? It runs on electricity....??? The economics are all upside down, and tou cant see demand or route distance, without first buying a train. All the suggestions go in the developers bin. They never take anyones ideas

No multiple play through. Can't use your real money purchases if you reset. If you set your staff past 99% happiness, it raises the minimum happiness, so the salary raises higher for no reason. Very buggy. I enjoyed the game until I realized all this. And there's no way to move a train from one city to another or run routes between two major cities...

The game is very smooth and I enjoy playing it but the problem that I have is that I can't find the distances between stations, so I don't which train to buy. I need to know the distance between stations so I can go and choose by the range of the train. I wish there were more options on station details and the routes.

Too drawn out. It would take forever to really get something going, even paying unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars you won't accomplish anything, it feels cheap to just buy everything. Along with also being able to see how far routes are before buying trains, a complete list of stations you can buy

Had to reset game multiple times. Buying fuel and electricity at lowest cost, can't make money. Campaigns cost more than it brings in so I loose money. Deleting game.

The wear repair is costing so huge that it's costing thousands of money to even do small wear repairs as the op hours are getting increased. With the money i spent on 2-3 repairs, I could buy a new locomotive. And the marketing, lobbying costs have increased along with IPO cost overnight. With such a lower income with routes, how can we bear the costs of fuel/spot, marketing, repairs. In the long run, it'll be nothing but loss rather than profit or even break even.

It looks like a good game but map needs improvementl. Chooses Russia, and only allows me to make 2 small routes, Russia has a lot of railways... I hope devs can explain if its like level system or because they didn't add all the stations.

While this is in principal a pretty good game that works pretty smoothly, it is obviously a game set up to generate income for the devs by players having to use real money in order to move very far in a reasonable amount of time. Some things are impossible to do without spending real money. New players expect to have to pay a bit or a lot. Don't think you won't come to a point where you must spend real money. Overall, its a great game. I can't fault the devs wanting compensation.

Games glitch was addressed. But now im wondering why some of the ad videos are a minute long. That's ten minutes of ads just to get the daily prize across three similar games. It adds up. At least let there be a mute option for all ad videos. No ones watching them because they wanna play the game being advertised. You lose most ppls attention after 15-30 seconds. Screen locks out half the time because you lose interest. Seems to defeat the purpose of advertising if no one pays attention.

Great idea but very poorly executed. There are realistic maps and cities. The user interface is hard to use and confusing. Trains are bringing revenue on departure not after finishing the route. Economics are a bit bizzare. There is no clear guide how to set up pricing. At the start of the train journey you know exactly how many passengers will travel like train is not picking up anyone through the route. Very poor execution

First time I have played a transportation game. 1 week so far and I hope to continue liking it. I wish there was a tutorial. The discussion board and FAQ is not helpful. I don't know if spending money to grow is best or just going with slow growth. Fuel and spot prices are expensive, making growth hard. There should be more rewards to help your account. There is definitely room to make this game better in all area's such as making choosing tracks easier and better to understand. Room to improve

I do like the game. It's a fairly quick game to get into and out of. The biggest time "killer" is setting up a new route for a new train. On that, massive improvement would be the ability to plan a route, or know the distance of end stops prior to ordering a new train. It's a little frustrating to order one that may cover the distance only to find it's woefully inadequate... especially when it is not known which tracks are going to be used. Good start, just needs some additional features.

Really smooth interface. A lot less complicated than some other tycoon style games, so I can spend more time enjoying it. The only problem I'm seeing is that you can't leave your country or get freight without a lot of points and it seems like there's no way earn that many points without purchasing them with RL currency.

Very detailed and super stocked with many trains of all kinds! You want electrical passenger train? Or maybe an old fashioned diesel for cargo? Any mixture of all sorts to buy, sale, modify, repair, storage, etc. Pick multiple tracks for the many destinations depending on fuel use, speed, arrival, costs for track use variation, etc. Too much game to describe like it deserves! Get serious about the detail or easily default options for quicker AI decisions. Whatever u think of is your command!
