### 4/5 — Вокзал

*2025-10-09*

Когда будет новый 3 вокзал?

### 3/5 — Gets boring

*2025-02-16, version 1.570.5039*

Currently at rank 1200 and offline earnings aren’t even enough to complete one mission for keys or gems. Bit disappointing since it’s a very good game.

### 2/5 — Ok game

*2025-02-07, version 1.570.5039*

Enjoyed playing for a few days but gets a bit boring. Also buggy or not giving you a new train even though you’ve watched the ad to skip the wait. Using the ‘keys’ is the same only gives a new train every other time. Needs fixing 
Edit: the puzzle game is faulty on level 20. It’s impossible to complete.
Now tried nine times to get a new train but it never appears. Time to uninstall

### 3/5 — 楽しいけど新しい列車が出てこない

*2024-12-29*

なんなの新しい列車追加しろや

### 4/5 — Jeu de super qualité

*2024-07-31*

Ce jeu est super bien réalisé. J’ai pu trouver peu d’inconvénients sur ce jeu mais j’en ai trouver quelques uns. -1 Lorsqu’on installe le jeu pour la première fois, on nous demande de jouer en invité ou bien de se connecter. J’ai choisi de jouer en invité pour me connecter plus tard mais une fois choisi, on ne peut plus faire retour en arrière je suis obligé de rester en invité donc si je désinstalle le jeu, toute ma progression est supprimée définitivement. -2 Les achats de la boutique sont de durée infini on peut avoir une fibre optique surpuissante, le chargement des achats du magasin sont interminables ce qui rend le jeu un peu moins fun. -3 Cela commence à faire des années que l’on attend une troisième gare mais il n’y en a jamais eu dans les mises à jours depuis très longtemps… -4 On ne peux pas passer le tutoriel et le tutoriel nous oblige parfois à faire des choses que nous ne voulions pas (comme mettre son 1er train à 1h du matin) -5 A la fin, les durées de construction des bâtiments deviennent beaucoup trop long il faut attendre plus de 12h pour la première gare… -6 Je trouve les trains mal réalisées et peu réalistes (train trop banal, personnes qui disparaissent pour entrer dans le train etc…) Merci de votre attention. Cordialement

### 3/5 — Okay

*2024-06-28, version 1.570.5039*

Game itself is fun but there are only 2 stations and it doesn’t take long to complete them

### 2/5 — Impossible

*2024-06-22, version 1.570.5039*

Level 39 is impossible and should randomly generated and that goes for all levels

### 2/5 — Can't progress

*2024-06-06, version 1.570.5039*

This game would be fun if it wasn't glitchy. I've built the rest room and upgraded it as much as I can but can't build a cafeteria as it says I don't have a rest room. I've closed the app and reopened it, but it won't acknowledge I've met the requirements to progress. It's frustrating.

### 4/5 — Когда новый вокзал?

*2024-05-19*

Игра прекрасная очень интересная,но когда будет уже новый вокзал?

### 3/5 — Lots of potential

*2024-03-28, version 1.570.5039*

But a long way to go. Scenarios are relatively simple, and stand alone. Would be nice if they built on each other.

### 3/5 — Very fun short-term

*2024-01-31, version 1.560.5039*

I like this game, it’s really fun. However, it won’t keep you occupied for too long as there are just two stations atm. That’s why I didn’t buy the ad free version.

I also didn’t because of the following issue:
When I click to speed up actions (e.g. a person going through the ticket machine), it very often clicks off onto the machine upgrades menu. I have the same issue when trying to collect stars.

### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER!

*2023-10-25, version 1.560.5039*

I love railway tycoon very good game!…

### 5/5 — Best game Eva!!!!

*2023-10-05, version 1.55*

This game is so fun that once you pass the tutorial you can’t leave it. Five stars 🌟

### 3/5 — It’s a great game but the settings are only in Chinese

*2023-09-06, version 1.55*

It’s an amazing game but I saw in the options menu that some buttons were in Chinese, when I clicked it all my game data was wiped and sadly I couldn’t sync it with the cloud as it appeared to have wiped that as-well, please fix as it is an amazing game but I just lost hours of progress because of it.

### 1/5 — Honest

*2026-03-20, version 1.570.5039*

I completed this game 3 years ago and today I loaded the game thinking after all this time there would be a new station and there wasn’t terrible game

### 1/5 — Скучная мертвая игра

*2025-09-13*

Игра мертвая, не обновляется, хотя наверно деньги с показов рекламы собирать не забывают. Деньги копятся просто поставив устройство в рабочем состоянии на ночь. Скука.

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2025-04-28, version 1.570.5039*

I purchased no ads , re started game, purchase not restored ! DO NOT PAY FOR NO ADS !

### 1/5 — Wasted Time

*2024-04-30, version 1.570.5039*

Spent ages on first level building cash reserves (and watching many ads) only for it to be taken away at the next level. Not worth the time or effort.

### 1/5 — No New Updates

*2023-12-24, version 1.560.5039*

There has been a third part of this game that has been “under development” for over two years.. I think we all know there is no update on the way. What a way for developers to be lazy.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2023-09-13, version 1.55*

I love the concept of this game but there are far too many ads and no option to purchase “no ads” you have to watch ad ad every 1-2 minutes which makes the game very very very boring and long winded. I thought I would enjoy it but after only 1 day playing it I’m now going to delete it. Shame because it could be a great game

Response from developers is: pay up or suffer so I will delete the game.

### 1/5 — Trains disappear

*2023-06-17, version 1.52.5039*

Fun game. But will spend money, watch ads, or spend gems on new trains and when you go to allocated trains….they’re gone. Happens 40-60% time for me now. Frustrating

### 1/5 — Где поезда?

*2023-05-19*

Тратиться кристаллы, ключики!
Открываю поезда!
Но в итоге в наличии их нет!
Пусто!!!

### 1/5 — New map or just tell us

*2023-03-12, version 1.52.5039*

It’s been years. If you’re not gonna come out with new maps/stations, then just say it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed in updates

*2023-01-18, version 1.38*

Been waiting ages for an update which is clearly never coming

### 5/5 — The best tycoon ever
