Leave a Review Train Station 2
4.8 rating
I like it because I can level up by getting a certain amount of experience points and in the USA there are some missions that give me 1000 XP.greigae72
Not particularly enjoyable
This game falls into the classic phone game trap where it’s literally just a waste of your time. You collect trains that have different carry capacities and ranks (grey, blue, purple, or gold tier) the incentive is to collect trains and use them to gather materials to complete jobs for experience and in game currencies..
It takes almost always 1 hour to complete any job and you only have a few number of “dispatchers” to send out trains.. so you end up turning the game on, sending out 3 or 4 trains and exiting for an hour. Wash, rinse, repeat...
The really sad thing about this game is that they host weekly events. Which is basically who can play the game every hour on the hour and collect the most points. I got first place in the event and I barely got anything. Game is a joke. Would be nice if at the very least they modeled the trains after real ones and if the trains came with a description or something. Maybe teach people something about trains instead of just completely wasting their time and possibly money if you’re one of those knuckleheads that actually pays for phone games lol.Show lessbrianNooooooo
Beautiful Graphics and Design, poor logic, ruined gameplay
After a week I scored this a 5, now it is a 2, they have just made it tedious and boring to complete tasks by “rebalancing “ the game.
A lot of time and effort has been put into creating some beautiful graphics and details of many locos - steam diesel and electric from around the world. But there is no logic - eg it takes an hour to deliver 5 barrels of oil with a simple slow underpowered shunter as it does with a huge fast famous beast. If you do play then start saving keys when you get to level 38, as at level 40 you get promoted into the USA with no trains that will work there and impossibly slow tasks to perform. Read the forum and you will see that a lot of people stop playing the game at that point - or it gets expensive as you buy packs.
There are competitions, they are fun to start and competitive. Then from delivering 40 items you have to create and deliver 400 and it gets so tedious it’s untrue, with a warehouse that just isn’t big enough.Show lessukTed
Lost interest quick
There is literally nothing to do past a certain level but wait, because for some reason it takes an hour to deliver stuff. You have limited dispatchers, and probably won’t get more for weeks, unless you want to buy them early with 150 gems, but if you don’t, you have to wait like 20 more levels to purchase them legitimately.
Honestly the game was fun at first, but it lost appeal really quickly when I could only complete like 4 missions a day because of excessive wait times or because I didn’t have materials on hand so now I have to wait 30 minutes to produce something and an hour to deliver it, assuming of course you can deliver it all in one go, if not it’s another hour of your time.
I’m not even joking in the slightest when I say that some missions can last a couple days if not a week, and sometimes don’t even have rewards at all. Then you talk about how some of the missions are class locked, so if you don’t have a blue train for a certain area, well you’re out of luck until you get one, but that’s if you can get on, because I’ve been trying to and after at least a dozen crates, which I have to work for by the way, all I get is the common trains over and over and over, you’re literally wasting you hard earned money for no reason.
A seriously good concept, but I’m getting tired of the meta for these games. Longer wait times does not mean more fulfilling content, especially with little to no rewards, it just means I can go play a decent game that rewards me for my in game progress. It makes literally no sense to start off the game with 30 second missions and small cargo, to immediately start offering contracts of like 300 coal that takes an hour to deliver.Show lessThisGameNeedsAFix
Impossible and boring
Started okay, but once you get to the new city Germany and the construction package, all of your efforts to upgrade trains become pointless as you will find that randomly, they are not suitable for almost all jobs. That means multiple trips with lesser trains. Every new job seems to be for items you don’t have, or, for one more item than you do. Off you go trying to make seventy items so you can just send one. Then you have to give away stuff just to make way for new items in your increasingly inadequate stockpile. To top it off, you will need to do this for weeks so that you can level up for the next city, and the next repeat of what you have just been through. Beautiful graphics; ridiculous game play. Now just boring and frustrating.Show lessCrumpet43
Makers have no clue what they’re doing
The makers of this game are a bunch of amateurs. They’ll let you grind out a hard competition then based on feedback, they’ll change the difficulty in the middle of the competition by making it easier. By the time you wake up, the competition has easily caught you and past you rendering your hard work the night before useless.
Don’t waste your time with this game.Show lessReckigball
Great Game - Improvements Would Help
Loving the game at the moment, only just got into it but already seems like a great unique game. Some players have been complaining about the delivery times, but if they were lowered then you would end up completing the game in a few days, so I support the choices.
A few improvements could be done, at the start of the game, not sure if this applies to later game stages, but I end um with around 2000 common parts for my trains and 0 rare, epic and legendary parts. I like the crate feature and scrapping features. However in order to progress slightly further and be able to focus more on upgrading your games to make the grind slightly more enjoyable. I think you should be able to scrap any trains regardless if its the only one or not. You should also be able to turn your lower quality parts into higher quality parts e.g 10 common parts = 1 rare part
I hope the developers notice this as I believe this would improve the players experience, and deal with some of the current issues. Anyone looking to install the game, do as its a great unique experience.Show lessNando_Gunner
I love it but one prob
So i love this game and the animation! But soon after you get to Germany it takes too long to deliver or get anything! I would lie to give a 5 star but that problem isn’t fun. Also one cool suggestion, actually 2,maybe you could make a train spotting mode? You can become tiny and go train spotting and see your locos? Also maybe You could be able to carry passenger trains for gold or anything? Love this game! (I love this game.) :)Show lessbrandon cracker(:
A game of managing resources
Not really about trains at all, it’s another game like Sim City Build it, where you have to collect and manage storage of resources to complete seemingly pointless tasks to expand your tracks. The game play slows considerably the more you play, and logging in results in having to watch numerous ads to get anywhere. It’s poor on actually game play, you can’t dictate the map. Better off playing Sim City. This is just frustrating.Show lessRadiorobotic.com
Awesome game!
This is a great game! Graphics are awesome and it’s a lot of fun being able to collect many different trains and complete tasks. The events make the game more fun. The best part is being able to collect unique trains. The game is well balanced and there is a lot to work towards so there is always something to do. The game can be played at your own pace and it’s easy to understand. Only suggestion is for the events or competitions is the start times. They are always starting while I’m asleep. Early morning start times. This gives an advantage to others playing in different times zones if the event starts when they are awake. A suggestion would be to randomize the start times of rotate through different time zones to make it more fair so that others do not get a head start. Other than that this game is a lot of fun to play. Great job and highly recommend.Show lessBrando12033
