Quite addictive

Pocket trains is a really fun tycoon game. Its 2d art style gives it such a charm and unlocking and leveling up trains are cool. Only wish you didn’t have to pay to retrieve old data. 10/10 no complaints other than that.

Love it.

Great. Love it.

Good game

The modern version does a fantastic job bringing back the nostalgia of playing the game way back in the past on my iPhone 06. Very very glad the devs still update the game without major changes to the base game. Loved it back then, love it still now.

Satisfying, With Occasional Frustrations

I’ve been playing this game for years and one of the frustrations is that it is not a game I’ll ever “win.” Progress can be achingly slow. Seems to me that once a player gets to higher levels, gameplay ought to get easier - e.g. engine parts for clearly obsolete engine models shouldn’t clutter up what parts one earns. Recently, a frustrating bug has manifested itself: cars get lost into the bit bucket at transfer stations. It is not common, but recently it happened twice within 5 minutes.
