  • Fun and relaxing gameplay with a new take on fleet management and trucking routes.
  • Good graphics and sound design, with detailed maps and enjoyable pixel art style.
  • The game runs well and has potential, especially for fans of previous NimbleBit games like Pocket Planes and Pocket Trains.
  • Numerous bugs including progress not saving, liquid cargo failing to unload, and trucks disappearing or showing incorrect statuses.
  • UI is cluttered, confusing and unresponsive; difficulty navigating menus and lack of useful information such as truck stats and job earnings.
  • Excessive monetization and ads, including paywalls for upgrades, mandatory ads for daily tasks, and inability to buy or sell multiple trucks of the same type.
  • monetization

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 6% neutral mentions, 89% negative mentions

    The monetization in the game is heavily criticized for excessive and intrusive ads that are often required to progress, including mandatory daily ad-watching tasks and costly in-app purchases that feel overpriced. While some users appreciate the optional nature of ads and lower wait times compared to previous titles, many find the aggressive ad presence and pushy monetization frustrating and off-putting.

    • “I like it, I'm actually okay with the level of monetization, but now I'm out of things to buy, trucks to buy, and it takes forever to get more city keys.”
    • “I enjoy this game but sorry, $170 NZD for an early game truck and in-game currency is a bit too much, that's more than a AAA game, and you still have ads if you buy that.”
    • “You have to watch ads to progress in daily and main tasks.”
    • “Though, what perfectly describes how greedy they've become in this game is making a daily task to buy an in-app purchase and making one of the weekly tasks to complete all of the daily tasks.”

    The gameplay features enjoyable mechanics with a unique mix of realism and simplicity, particularly in delivering tasks across different states. However, it lacks clear tutorials or explanations for key mechanics like refueling and parts/scrap, leading to some confusion. Additionally, repetitive gameplay, a cluttered UI, and frequent ads diminish the overall experience for some players.

    • “I like the mechanics of this game.”
    • “Kinda unique to travel different states while delivering animals or otherwise anything else with a certain tycoon feel of realism mixed with simple in-game mechanics.”
    • “The backgrounds are pretty, the sound design is wonderful, and the gameplay is enjoyable!”
    • “The parts/scrap mechanic isn't explained at all, and I'm still confused about it.”
    • “The UI is a bit sloppy, and the gameplay itself is repetitive.”
    • “I am uninstalling as I didn't find the gameplay loop that exciting.”
  • stability

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including buggy UI elements, delivery glitches, and non-functional vehicles, which hinder gameplay. Additionally, there is no in-game feature to report bugs, and some paid content may not be properly delivered. Despite these problems, users still find the game enjoyable but acknowledge it requires much improvement.

    • “However, right now it's incredibly buggy where UI elements don't work, parts are recorded incorrectly or can't even be used, some trucks are bugged so that deliveries are impossible, etc. I'm kind of peeved that the most functioning part of the game is the cash store, and even then some people don't receive what they paid for.”
    • “However, I will have to address the glitches when it comes to delivering liquid (they never deliver and are labeled as layover even though they are in the right city) and the lack of a feature to report these errors from the game menu, which is surprising considering that the game is new and prone to errors.”
    • “Needs work, buggy and no way to unlock the 'special' trucks.”
  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story and missions offer an interesting premise but are hindered by unclear objectives, frustrating difficulty spikes, and some bugs that affect progression. Additionally, key quests locked behind ads and in-app purchases detract from the overall enjoyment and accessibility of the narrative. More content updates and improved mission design would enhance the experience.

    • “The missions seem a tad difficult after the first few and lack much understanding.”
    • “I am stuck in the mission to grab items from the road, 20 to be exact, and none have appeared on my unlocked routes. Does it require internet for the items to refresh on the routes?”
    • “There are some bugs; a quest requiring mounting the part 10 times makes no sense.”
  • graphics

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The graphics have shifted from the original pixel art to a more modern, big, and bubbly style, which some users find less appealing and more targeted toward a younger audience. However, others appreciate the fresh, polished aesthetics and recognize the clear effort put into the design. Overall, opinions are mixed but generally acknowledge the quality and style evolution.

    • “And despite what others say, I love the new modern layout and art style.”
    • “A really fun and simple game, aesthetics are amazing and it's clear that serious effort has been put into the game, 5 stars from me!”
    • “I do wish to see a new update for Pocket Trains, like new trains and graphics and redesigns.”
    • “They stray too far away from their lovable pixel art style in this one.”
    • “Nimblebit is definitely becoming more corporate as you can tell by the 'modern' art style and hard pushing microtransactions, catering towards a younger audience instead of being general.”
    • “I do wish to see a new update for Pocket Trains with new trains, graphics, and redesigns.”
  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally good but often plays at very low volume unless the device volume is maxed out, and some sound effects may be slightly buggy. A notable inconvenience is the need to manually disable music settings every time the game restarts.

    • “But the big deal breaker for me is that I have to reset the music option to off each and every time I start the game.”
    • “Waited 5 minutes after reinstalling but nothing loaded except the music.”
    • “Despite some of the sounds being slightly buggy and the music being very low in volume unless you have your device volume maxed out, this is an overall good game.”
  • grinding

    Grinding in the game is moderate, allowing significant progress without spending money, but unlocking all cities takes a long time and can become tedious, reducing overall enjoyment.

    • “It's not too grindy, and you can get pretty far without spending money.”
    • “This is not quite as much fun; it takes too long to unlock all the cities, and actually playing on that big a space is tedious.”
  • optimization

    The game delivers very exceptional optimization, ensuring smooth and efficient performance across devices.
