Decent game but could use a little extra polish. The cargo availability list via the map where you can see what stations can meet demand does not scroll and should be clickable to set destination. And the section to choose train cars could use some filters or optimization buttons. The passenger happiness system and prices you can charge passengers could use a bit more polish and information. Oh and there should be faster ways to open more train cars at a time and upgrade train cars at a time.

Can't fully complete the game without completely restarting just because you can't access the main menu on mobile Edit: Decided to bring it down to a 1 star as this issue seems to be an issue that's been around for at least a year, and I agree with another review that was done by a game developer that it's not that hard to implement a main menu button and scene.

This game is good, there is a solid progression system that isn't too easy or hard, this isn't a pay to win game, you can customize your train using train cars, and there are upgrades. But I wish I could play with other players like an online mode and for some reason every time I play it says: signed out of Google play games even though I am signed in.

Don't spend ANY $ on this because you're not guaranteed to recieve your purchase. Absolutely abysmal customer service. I bought the weekly subscription and it didn't work so I reinstalled the game but that wiped all of my progress and apparently cloud sync is broken too. I've exchanged 10 emails with customer support, often getting one sentence and vague replies. I'm getting the run around and I don't think they've even got control over the back end of their own app.

Great little train game but room for improvement. This is a cozy and fun idle game that I like leaving sitting on my desk to watch the trains go. That said there are some things I would love to see added to this game: - Ability to save and load train configurations. This would make it easier to swap out train tender, cars, and caboose when wanting to have a different design or working a specific task or region. - A button or shortcut to move the view back to the start of the train.

This game is almost perfect, I do see some flaws with the store aspect of the game, and the "loot boxes" but besides that, the game is great! I'm considering paying for one of the packages to help support this game, I barely have an hour in it and I would honestly put in some in the double digits. Hats off to you developers, other mobile games should seriously look up to this game with the detail and love put into it.

Played this during a free trial of play pass. That being said, the non ad-free experience is awful. DEVS DO NOT REPLY. I'll know you'll see. With play pass? It's a grindy idle game with something resembling a story adventure. The characters are a mixed bag and the villains outside of Blackwell are... there. You can see the meandering game play design shifts as you progress through the game. But as you get past europe you REALLY see how off the rails tiny rails goes. And it's not good at all.

When I try to collect my Free roll through the ads - I never get any Ads it says no ads available 🤷‍♂️ - I want this to be a 5⭐ game but I can't because it won't even let me log in with my account, there is no button or nothing. Game is broken! 2 stars until updated or fixed It's a very fun game don't get me wrong, but as of right now I'm pissed that I can't get the most from this game.

Cute pseudo-idler that isn't pay to play/win. With that said, there are a TON of pop-ups that urge you to buy packages, gems, new cars, etc. For a game that's intended to be both relaxing and idle, this is a big mechanical problem. It requires the user to constantly close out of obtrusive pop-ups, effectively negating the point of an idle game. It's also just a frustrating experience to close out of the exact same pop-up every time something happens.

I really like this game, but there are a number of frustrations and problems with it. Here are a few things I can think of: ‐On the Train Car Equip screen, you cannot sort the cars. They are sorted by rarity, but other than that it seems to be by the order you receive then in efficiency is frustrating when you want to theme your train. In example I want all cars that I have acquired gold paint for, or I want cargo cars, or Behemoth sets. I had a lot more to say, but was thwarted by post limit
