### 2/5 — Game always closes after opening

*2026-08-28, version 6.3.4*

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

### 3/5 — Takes so long to manufacture stuff it actually keeps you from playing the game.

*2026-08-24, version 6.3.4*

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.

### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating

*2026-07-29, version 6.3.4*

This is a set up and walk away type game. I’m up in the 300s level. Big issues is filling orders has a huge bottle neck having most order needing to go through metallurgical factory. Pay money to speed up. To fill primary orders to progress game is going to take days of waiting on product to be produced. Since July update there is a bug in point Earning point, where you will see your points drop, iit forgot you just filled orders and all point don’t register.   I’ve been in top scores so maybe they need to slow  me down.  Joining teams is also a waste of time play individual as player drop you from the team after contribution and no way to contact or chat, no points, just out.

### 2/5 — Almost Good

*2026-07-26, version 6.3.4*

This would be a good game, but there are so many bugs and glitches it is hard to play. I’ve already reported several in my short time playing. Upgrades undo, but resources are still spent. 
Resources that take literal hours to produce just vanish but the components to make them are still gone. 
Contest points are just wrong all the time. Sometimes it doesn’t count points it should, sometimes at the end of the contest the points you have are different from what it showed 5 minutes prior. 
It is infuriating and makes it incredibly disheartening when you actually want to play the game. 
Seriously, fix the game and it will be good.

### 2/5 — Баги!

*2026-07-23, version 6.3.3*

Пропадает расширеннее шахт! Служба поддержки отвечает очень долго до 7 дней! Получили они письмо или нет не понятно, статус не известен! Игра тупо на донате. Баксов и голды дают очень мало а прокачка обходиться очень дорого!

### 3/5 — Good game, bad crafting system

*2026-07-22, version 6.3.3*

I do enjoy this game and watching the cities being built is fun, however the crafting is extremely unbalanced. For example the chisels: 

I am on a quest where i need 120 chisels, and each batch of chisels produces 60. This sounds good, until I need 120 of the lumber and 120 of the billets, where the billets return 50 for 60 iron bars, but for 69 iron bars i need 60 iron ore and 60 coals. To put it in short, you need too many crafting resources (and at times, multiple levels of crafting) to get returns of 1/2 to 1/4 of what you put in at each level.

### 3/5 — Its alright

*2026-07-20, version 6.3.3*

The game is fine to me

### 2/5 — Beautiful game Terrible Mechanics

*2026-07-18, version 6.3.3*

I have been putting off deleting this game for awhile. I was hoping they would eventually get the mechanics of the game worked out. I even wrote them once to let them know I thought they got the mechanics of train delivery to produce time backwards. It takes a long time to produce goods. Which leaves my trains in the train yards for hours. I would rather it take a long time to deliver because my trains are traveling and I could enjoy watching the trains run in this beautiful environment. Yet that is not the case. After years of hoping.I have finally deleted the game. Sad to see for such breathtaking graphics.

### 3/5 — Fun game…

*2026-07-17, version 6.3.3*

Game is enjoyable, but the frequency of corporation competitions combined with holiday events turns it from relaxing to an unnecessary volume of work.  My corporation went from a group of fun individuals to an overwhelmed and worn out group of aging folks.  The devs need to realize their audience and adjust to older people who have families.  Not gonna make that money if you take the enjoyment of trains out of the train enthusiasts.

### 4/5 — Expansion

*2026-07-16, version 6.3.1*

Overall game is satisfying and fun keeps me entertained and engaged. That’s rare with my adhd. Only thing that I can think to request and give feedback is the lack of all the continent. There’s missed opportunities to be able to buy canadien or Mexican railway companies. Additionally you could add a selection for on-boarding where the person chooses where they start from.

### 1/5 — It’s a Train Crash

*2026-09-02, version 6.4.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Unauthorized Charges

*2026-08-14, version 6.3.4*

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

### 1/5 — Email support never responded

*2026-07-29, version 6.3.4*

Independence Day even paid for the business class and played it.. maxed all three trains

Woke up today to have to restart it all because game crash

Now event trains gone and wants me to start over with 3 days of a multiple week event. 


No in game chat with corporation and haven’t been able to play annual or expansion for a few weeks.  


Internet isn’t issue because others can play in my 9G network and same model phone.   
Have had ticket in since June.   Only word is, they can credit event trains lost.   As a programmer, I know they can.  I am told lies over and over again.  Was told nothing but lies.  I emailed support and they never answered

### 1/5 — Обман с наградами.

*2026-07-27*

Событие на время, заняла 1-е место, где стоит награда 500 ключей и 150 монет, событие закончилось, ключи начислили, монеты нет, написала в поддержку, сказали ой а мы не планировали чтобы монеты были в награде, но они отображались, следующее событие уже отображается без монет
Так если у вас глюк, то что в награде было, надо было по честному начислить, и устранять уже свои баги, а в итоге обманули и весь стимул играть пропал, удалила. 
Всего доброго.

### 1/5 — Bugs bugs bugs

*2026-07-27, version 6.3.4*

Latest update has meant that event leaderboard does not register completed tasks. Getting tired of raising tickets that take days to get a response.  After playing this game for a few months, it’s time to delete it and find something more stable. Disappointing as the game has potential.

### 1/5 — Забрали деньги!

*2026-07-20*

Раньше можно было зарабатывать в игре и это была единственная нормальная и интересная игра, где можно было играть и получать игровые деньги. И очень классные игровые локации. 
Теперь после очередных каких-то новшеств, деньги нельзя получать в игре для расходов же на поезда и еще на что-то… 
Увы придется расстаться с этой игрой. Играла в нее очень давно и игра очень нравилась и рекламу смотрела чтобы получать профиты…. 
Увы…. Сказать что расстроена- не сказать ничего.

**Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you for the review. We are constantly working on enhancing experience of our players as well as on optimization of the gameplay. We hope our future changes will make you enjoy our game again!

### 1/5 — Keeps glitching

*2026-07-16, version 6.3.1*

Independence Day even paid for the business class and played it.. maxed all three trains
Image 1…

Woke up today to this….
Image 2. Saying save to server because RE server crashes

Now event trains gone and wants me to start over image 3, with 3 days left in game.

### 1/5 — Lost a lot of money on this game!

*2026-07-15, version 6.3.1*

I really liked the game up until it stopped working. It seems after the last upgrade, the Fourth of July, the game no longer connects to the Internet. So I can no longer, save the game to the cloud, or download the game from the cloud. I spent a lot of money, buying downloads, coins, train upgrades, etc. All that is gone now. I contacted support, it seemed like in the beginning they were there for me. Then something happened and they just stopped communicating. Really disappointed, I’m gonna delete the game.

### 1/5 — Fatality Flawed Game

*2026-07-15, version 6.3.1*

When not saved to server you lose purchases and progress. I really enjoyed this game but am now deleting it.

### 1/5 — Pay to win

*2026-07-10, version 6.3.1*

Very boring generally but loaded very unfairly in favour of people who pay enough to win events

### 5/5 — Однозначно

*2026-09-02, version 6.4.1*

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!!!

### 5/5 — Trainman 2102

*2026-09-02, version 6.4.1*

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
