The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of variety and depth, with players noting that missions are repetitive and limited, leading to boredom. Despite some enjoyment from younger players, the overwhelming presence of ads and the minimal narrative progression detract from the overall experience, making it feel unworthy of its price. Users express disappointment in the game's failure to deliver engaging content beyond basic building tasks.
“I liked doing the missions.”
“My son loves to do the missions.”
“Tried writing to customer support and have never received an email back or anything, so I will do a review now. Where do I start? After nearly paying five pounds for the full version, as my son loved the demo, I feel utterly robbed. There is nothing more to do in the full version besides build houses and buildings. Yes, you do get all the trains, which is fine, but there's a big lack of different missions.”
“It's a fantastic game, but in-app purchases are not good, and the same missions repeat again and again.”
“You do the same thing over and over: same mission, same challenges, same thing to build. Not worth the money.”
