### 1/5 — Oké game

*2024-03-03*

Like the pc version, but old; randomly resets your progress and settings, online content does not work at all, cannot access game files through files app to manually install mods or saves, controls barely work.

### 3/5 — Works, with some caveats

*2023-10-28*

Basically functions as you'd expect, but it has no function for online content like NewGRFs or heightmaps and, as this is a third-party app and hasn't been updated in two years, it isn't up-to-date with the PC release of the game. It has integrated touch controls, but they can be a bit finnicky at times. Good if you're going on a trip without a computer and want to ease the transport itch.

### 4/5 — Good but topbar

*2023-07-24*

All good thank you but please consider removing that UGLY white top bar in interface  it distracts a lot

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2023-07-12*

Online content does not load and the game will randomly reset back to defaults

### 4/5 — Great Game with a few major issues

*2023-06-29*

Overall this is a great game that you can get on steam for free, and the game feels just like it’s pc counterpart. However there is one main problem that is a real pain to deal with sometimes. 
                    The Online Content
The online content section is overall great as that is what drives me to play the game, however it may not show up randomly. As in, the resources that are there to add more content to a game don’t show up at all for an extended period of time.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-04-23*

This game is absolutely amazing for it being a port. It’s just hard to get a grasp but I would recommend this to everyone 10/10

### 5/5 — Perfect Straight PC Port

*2023-02-23, version 1.12*

It’s Literally The Same Thing As The PC Game!

### 2/5 — Please update the game!!

*2023-02-05, version 1.12*

Hi please update to open ttd 12.1
Install the Zbase graphics or abase (better). This will let us have higher resolution. Also this will let many play online! 

Right now the game crashes a lot when trying to do any of this in game!

### 5/5 — Nice port

*2022-12-28, version 1.12*

But I cannot figure out how to install AI competitors

### 4/5 — Data Loss!!!

*2022-10-14, version 1.12*

This is what I’d call a functional port of open ttd, however, all of my data is deleted on restart. Ai’s, Scenarios, saves. This is a serious bug which blocks people from  playing long sessions.
