  • Beautiful and realistic graphics with detailed trains and environments.
  • Engaging and addictive gameplay with a mix of logistics, resource management, and strategy.
  • No mandatory ads and mostly playable without spending real money, with optional ads providing bonuses.
  • Fuel and train maintenance systems severely limit continuous gameplay and require long wait times or costly purchases.
  • High cost of in-game purchases, especially for unlocking trains and event passes, making progress expensive and discouraging.
  • Bugs, crashes, and progression blockers commonly reported, including softlocks and inability to advance without paying.

  • graphics

    197 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    73% positive mentions, 22% neutral mentions, 5% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for being detailed, realistic, and visually appealing, with many noting a significant improvement over previous versions. However, some users feel the updated graphics have lost unique charm for a more generic look, and high-quality settings tend to overheat phones or drain battery quickly. Overall, the graphics elevate the aesthetic experience but can sometimes impact performance and device usability.

    • “The graphics are incredible.”
    • “The graphics are phenomenal.”
    • “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - realistic graphics with super detailed trains - fuel system that respects player's time - easy to learn/hard to master gameplay”
    • “The only big thing that has changed are the graphics, they look "better" now, which is to say that they've lost their unique visual style in favor of the bland and uncreative look that every mobile game running on Unity has.”
    • “The 3D realistic graphics look messy and poorly defined on an S23 Ultra even when altering graphic settings in game.”
    • “The graphics in this game really suck hands down.”

  • monetization

    190 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    3% positive mentions, 13% neutral mentions, 84% negative mentions

    Monetization in the game is heavily criticized for its aggressive use of long and frequent ads, intrusive microtransactions, and expensive in-app purchases that often feel like paywalls hindering progress. While ads are mostly optional, they are required to speed up gameplay and complete events, leading to frustration among players. Despite some appreciation for the choice to watch ads, excessive advertising, frequent ads with questionable content, and limited options to remove ads contribute to a perception of the game as a cash grab.

    • “Very moderate monetization, you may play without the need of dropping cash every day.”
    • “Microtransactions for those who want to progress faster and rock the leaderboards.”
    • “Can actually advance without having to pay any microtransactions!”
    • “There is no option to pay for a 'pro' version so one must endure the agonizing long advertisements of up to 3 minutes each.”
    • “After about the first 2 hours, you are required to watch advertisements or pay real money to proceed further, with no exceptions.”
    • “The monetization can be a bit heavy-handed sometimes, with expensive in-app purchases and constant ads making the game feel like a cash grab.”

  • story

    105 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 68% neutral mentions, 3% negative mentions

    The game features an engaging and humorous storyline with progressive missions that many players enjoy, but it often becomes grindy and restrictive, requiring power upgrades and in-game purchases to advance. Numerous users report getting stuck at certain eras or missions due to limited available tasks or game bugs, causing frustration and halting story progression. While the story and graphics are praised, forced adherence to the plot and repetitive missions detract from player freedom and long-term enjoyment.

    • “I like that there's a storyline to the majority of the tasks, versus just upgrading without a plot.”
    • “The economics design in the game is decent and the storylines have a lot of humor.”
    • “Graphics and gameplay are stunning, storyline is very long, seemingly endless and still developing!”
    • “So I completed all the main tasks, I'm now on Springfield, but I can't do any further missions. I don't have enough 'power' to complete one of the haul missions, so I'm basically stuck without spending money on a pack to move on.”
    • “The game depends only on power parts; the rest of the other parts are pretty much useless. The game forces you to pay money or play all day in events to complete the 'buy passenger train' quest in the era 1950.”
    • “Around year 1938, you run out of ways to make money and progress the story.”

  • gameplay

    101 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    42% positive mentions, 51% neutral mentions, 7% negative mentions

    Gameplay in this game is detailed and multi-layered, offering strategic depth and an engaging train management experience. However, many players criticize restrictive mechanics like fuel and maintenance timers, which severely limit continuous playtime and create frustrating paywalls. While graphics and core gameplay are praised, the frequent interruptions and heavy monetization detract from overall enjoyment.

    • “Gameplay is multi-layered and supports multiple strategies.”
    • “Overall gameplay (particularly logistics and resource management) makes it very fun and engaging :) it's also very relaxing!”
    • “This is a true simulator where you can go at your own pace and enjoy building your own little empire, graphics are amazing and it's the gameplay.”
    • “This game is barely a cheap knock-off of its previous installment, we're presented with basically the same mechanics, gameplay loop, and monetisation.”
    • “You're stuck waiting for fuel or repairs, forcing you to grind through tasks in the hopes of reaching a more interesting stage. The free-to-play experience is a tedious, pay-walled grind; a huge step back in gameplay. I am at the beginning of the game (1933).”
    • “Horrible times to wait for fuel replenish and train maintenance: play 10 minutes, wait 5 hours to play again 10 minutes. Economy system is broken and makes the gameplay horrible.”

  • stability

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

    The game suffers from frequent stability issues, including freezes, crashes, and persistent glitches such as train bottlenecks and interface bugs. These problems are compounded by unhelpful customer support and cause significant frustration despite the game's enjoyable aspects. Overall, the experience feels unfinished and buggy, impacting gameplay and reliability.

    • “Latest release is a bit buggy, there is a bottleneck where the trains leave the loading area and trains get stuck on top of each other, there is no way to fix it apart from closing the game and restarting.”
    • “Love the game so much I purchased the event pass for the new update but every time I go into a factory it freezes and crashes.”
    • “Screen freezes, graphics jump and flash, game install info appears on screen randomly, game crashes and closes.”

  • grinding

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

    Grinding in the game is widely regarded as tedious, slow, and overly monetized, often requiring watching numerous ads or spending money to progress efficiently. Players report repetitive, drawn-out tasks with limited rewards after initial levels, leading to frustration and a paywall-heavy experience. Overall, the grind detracts from gameplay enjoyment and feels like a significant step back compared to previous titles.

    • “Even the events are super grindy, requiring you to watch ads a lot or spend money if you want to complete all events on time with all rewards.”
    • “Classic quality decay pattern where rewards are plentiful in the early levels and then you're grinding for nothing within a couple of weeks.”
    • “You're stuck waiting for fuel or repairs, forcing you to grind through tasks in the hopes of reaching a more interesting stage. The free-to-play experience is a tedious, pay-walled grind and a huge step back in gameplay; I am at the beginning of the game in 1933.”

  • optimization

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is generally lacking, with users reporting stuttering, overheating issues, and performance drops even on low settings. While the graphics are praised, many suggest a dedicated battery-optimized mode and further improvements to ensure smoother gameplay. Overall, optimization remains a key area needing attention to enhance user experience.

    • “Only downside is that the phones get very hot even on lowest settings; a 'battery optimized' mode with lower graphics would be a big plus.”
    • “Needs a quality of life update and optimization to keep the game flowing and smooth. Can be a bit glitchy and can take a while to load things; everything else so far is great, having a good time.”
    • “The game needs serious optimization as it makes my Galaxy S23 Ultra really, really hot as if I left it out in the sunlight.”
    • “Even on the lowest settings (with a decent Xperia), the stuttering is annoying.”
    • “The game needs serious optimization as it makes my Galaxy S23 Ultra really hot, as if I left it out in the sunlight.”
    • “Only downside is that the phones get very hot even on the lowest settings; a 'battery optimized' mode with lower graphics would be a big plus.”

  • replayability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Users find the game's replayability mixed, noting it becomes more engaging as you progress but can feel monotonous and costly due to frequent in-app purchases for additional chapters. While some appreciate reduced login frequency and improved playability over time, the need to pay repeatedly limits long-term enjoyment.

    • “So you need to log in less but the game is more playable in my opinion.”
    • “I'd really love to play this game if it was more playable and less monotonous.”
    • “Loved it initially, recognized it would require some $$$ to make it more playable, paid - then realized that would just cover one chapter, the next chapter would also require $$$.”
    • “Does get more playable as you advance.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music enhances the overall mood of the game, though some users choose to turn it off to improve battery life on their phones.

    • “Music puts me in the mood as well”
