gameplay3 negative mentions
  • The game has a simple and colorful interface that is easy to use.
  • It offers a unique railroad building experience that is not geared towards children.
  • Some players find it enjoyable and a good way to kill time if they have patience.
  • The game is plagued by numerous technical issues, including error codes and inability to load user data.
  • It heavily relies on microtransactions and has a frustrating pay-to-win model, making it tedious and slow-paced.
  • Many players feel it is a poorly executed mobile port that lacks depth and polish, making it unworthy of being on PC.
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its limited interface, which prioritizes touch-screen controls over depth, leading to a frustrating experience due to timer-based mechanics that hinder progress. While some players find it tolerable with patience, many feel it is not worth their time on a computer.

    • “Hindered by a limited interface that has obviously been designed for touch-screen control first and gameplay depth a very distant second.”
    • “Honestly, the game isn't that bad if you are patient, but it is definitely not the type of game you'd waste your computer time on. The gameplay in the first 10-20 minutes is fast-paced, then once you start playing, everything is timer-based!”
    • “Change the game's mechanics and get rid of the fact that every single thing you do has a waiting time.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for being colorful and visually appealing, complemented by an easy-to-use interface that enhances the overall user experience.

    • “The interface is easy to use and the graphics are colorful and easy on the eyes.”
    • “The graphics look outdated and lack detail.”
    • “The mobile game graphics are subpar compared to other titles.”
    • “The visuals are bland and fail to impress.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy is criticized as a typical cash grab, with players finding the in-game purchases unappealing and uninspired.

    • “It's one of those in-game purchase snore fests.”
    • “Stay away from this cash grab garbage!”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the lack of automation for tasks like managing train entries and unloading at town stations, which can become repetitive and time-consuming.

    • “Many tasks that could be automated require manual input, such as allowing trains to enter your town station and unloading them each time, which becomes really tedious.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect is hindered by a frustrating gameplay mechanic where players may encounter issues if they accidentally trigger events before the quest prompts, leading to confusion and a lack of clarity in progressing the narrative.

    • “It tells me to give clearance to the train, but there is no train because I accidentally clicked it before the quest appeared.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been criticized for being uninspired, contributing to an overall lackluster experience alongside issues like clunky controls and poor resolution.

    • “Clunky controls, bad resolution, uninspired music.”
