Greed has destroyed the game

I have played this game alongside my son for a couple of years, however we will be walking away to find another alternative. Their most recent ‘event’ requires easily over $100 of out of pocket spending (within an 18 day timeframe) to upgrade ONE train to a full 75 capacity, and after the 18 day event it cannot be upgraded further regardless of where it is. There are almost 100 trains with individual capacities in the game. We just spent $37 (after spending $70 on lower tiers for one engine) on ‘10 upgrade cards’ for my son thinking it would be 10 additional capacity - and we were wrong. It requires 5 cards per level, so he went from 63-65. After over a week trying, the game system is stacked to prevent increasing without spending $$$. They developers shut down their support (Discord) server last week due to overwhelming negative feedback. There are other platforms that provide the same experience without requiring significant financial outlay. They have gotten over $1000 from us in the last year, and they won’t be getting any more.

Красивая игра

Красиво, на этом плюсы кончились. При очень агрессивном донате - в игре нет единого дня всех игроков сервера с аккаунтами, у вас не получится играть, допустим, с iPad и телефона на Android на одном и том же аккаунте.

Support issue

Finally got a response after 11 weeks. They addressed several issues with the game, however I will not be buying any coin to enhance, since I was screwed out of thousands by developer error and me being blamed. It’s a lesson learned. But the game is fun, just don’t spend money for in game purchases.

Waste of time

Unless you are able to spend a lot of your own money, avoid this game, it is dominated by Russian groups who plow vast sums of cash into it, out gunning everyone else. THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT so don’t bother.

Support issue

Your support never answers their emails. I had trains I purchased business class to get and when you did a game update in July, it took them back as well as process, coins and money. Discord support said you guys will not replace them and that many of us are liars. Well screenshots do not lie, your developers do. Because so many spoke up, your Discord is now a hot mess. We all should file FTC complaints for not getting to keep what we paid for.

I love it!

This is such a time waster lol and I thoroughly enjoy it. I like watching the maps evolve and have been known to ride on the trains to take in the wonderful maps and scenery. I also love the disasters, I’ve just experienced Denver being flooded after a dam burst! So I am rushing my orders through to get it fixed. Great game, thank you.

This is nothing like the Ad

Glitch filled Game

This game has amazing graphics and game play. However, the past 2 months the game has gone downhill real fast. They have made significant changes to the game which has taken basically all of the fun out of playing. They have reduced to opportunity to grow by changing the algorithm and quantity required to expand and upgrade. The only way to truly compete now is to spend tons of real money in order to keep up. They have made such large changes that many people has switched over to Train Station 3. Beware, the game is great but if you want to have fun and enjoy, your gonna be spending a lot of money to make it that way.

What is the point of this game?

All I can do is mine coal for 30s and nothing else. I’m out of cash and have no way to get more. I’ve played for 5m and I’m stuck.

Game Shut Down

1st - I absolutely love this game and have shown so by the time and money I’ve put into this game.

However

2nd - this game shuts down a lot!! I’ll be playing the game and after just 63 seconds or so the game shuts off. I have an iPhone thats 128G and I have 41G open for use. I’ve only used 86.3G of space. Why is this game shutting off?? I cannot advance in gaming at all because I am only getting about 5 mins of gaming done after logging into the game multiple times a day.
The login process is already extensive, but I don’t mind that if the game runs smoothly once in it. From time to time there is a blue screen with just the tabs on the screen and other times the tracks disappear with trains operating on grass. What is going on?

3rd - if this gets cleared up this game is definitely a peaceful game that’s worth 5 stars. It provides a minor thought about how trains run and to manage that process. I’ve been playing train games since Railroad Tycoon back in 2000. This is a great game and I hope no one else has my experiences described above. I just want to play in peace and make the purchases I want to advance the way I see fit. Thanks for the game, but a better thank you is if these issues are fixed.

Wow

I’m in shock!
I return to the game to see many changes,
1. The game now controls which train you can upgrade by means of having to “win” specific train upgrade cards. (Previously you earned specific colour cogs which could be used universally across all trains)
2. Literally no way of earning money as a solo unless you unlock chests which gives a pitiful amount or unless you purchased it from the store for real money.
(Use to have locations on each map that allowed a daily collection)
OR. You have to join a corporation, taking into consideration that most players in success gangs means that what you get is minimal for a lot of effort.

Loved this game but now it’s a let down.

Update needed

Feature Suggestion: Sortable Leaderboard in Corporation Contributions
In the Corporation Contributions section for winning tracks, the leaderboard already shows each player’s level and contribution. It would be a big improvement if we could click the column headers at the top of the menu to sort the list — by player level (highest to lowest) and by contribution amount.
This would make it much easier to quickly see who’s performing well and who isn’t, without having to scroll through the entire list every time.

Enjoyable but buggy

When the game is working it is enjoyable to play.

The challenge is some basic screens regularly produce errors and warning messages that prevent the action and you have to restart.

Due to the volume of data in the game a restart can take 30 seconds. So it is frustrating when you get in those loops.

That said, I have played long enough to be close to lvl 400 so I do enjoy it.

The other challenge is to be competitive in some of the special events you have to make purchases. If you don’t make purchases you continue to call further behind and no amount of game play can overcome the lack of purchases.

I would give a four out of five if the obvious bugs and errors got solved. I would make it five out of five if they found a way for regular players to remain competitive without monthly or weekly purchases.

It’s a Train Crash

As reported by many reviewers, the app just constantly crashes, sometimes every few minutes. Numerous app updates have made no difference. Deeply flawed, extremely annoying. Best avoided.

Однозначно

Считаю это шедевром, играю в игры почти всю свою жизнь, ибо не только для детей они, наткнулся случайно и забыл о других, качество, сюжет, физика самой игры меня забрала.
Игра действительно стоит вашего внимания!!! Играют тысячи, а может и миллионы людей, рекламы нет вообще, со времен gangster vegas давно не было таких игр, разработчики просто молодцы!!!

Trainman 2102

Love this game. I’m 67 and have always liked trains since I was a kid. it keeps my brain active by using different strategies to advance. It’s a great challenge I play at least 3-4 times a day. Thanks for a great game. Thank you for the new update

Просто супер

Нереально Крутая игра,рекламы нет
Все классно,очень отвлекает. Из минусов: очень греется телефон

Game always closes after opening

Everytime time i open the game it closes after about 90sec

Takes so long to manufacture stuff it actually keeps you from playing the game.

Opened the fourth region. When you open a region, you start with new trains for that region that don’t haul much. That would be a big deal if the jobs took that into consideration. One job requires 360 ladders. Not including the time it takes to gather the materials, each set of 60 ladders take 5 hours to make. So just for that job it has 30 hours of build time in the metallurgical plant. 90 % of everything passes through the metallurgical plant. It’s such a bottleneck that it stops you from playing waiting on stuff to finish being made. Sadly will probably delete the game for this reason.

Unauthorized Charges

I like this game but developer keeps posting unauthorized charges to my account.
