### 4/5 — I wish there was a newer version

*2025-03-08*

As much as I love this game, it feels a little outdated compared to what they’ve been making recently. I’d love for there to be a newer version maybe with brighter color palettes and easier controls. Making a successful and interesting train station is just so much fun!

### 2/5 — 請勿下載

*2023-12-16, version 1.58*

2023/12購買，無法讀取遊戲，有辦法退款嗎

### 2/5 — 為什麼付費遊戲要看廣告

*2023-12-07, version 1.58*

如題，而且讀取很久很浪費時間，非常使人不愉悅，也無法重來遊戲

### 2/5 — A waste of money

*2022-09-09, version 1.37*

The interface is very weird.
A lot of times I cannot click on the items I want. I played other games from kairosoft and they worked fine. 
I gave up playing because it was very annoying trying to click on the items I want and nothing happened. 

กดอะไรไม่ค่อยติดเลย ไม่รู้เป็นที่ระบบหรือไอแพด แต่เล่นเกมอื่นก็เล่นได้ปกติไม่มีปัญหาอะไร เสียดายเงินมาก ไม่คุ้มเลย เล่นแล้วหงุดหงิด กว่าจะกดย้ายของ ย้ายร้านได้

### 2/5 — ios 更新問題

*2022-08-04, version 1.37*

更新 ios 至 15.6 後不能進入遊戲 , 刪除遊戲後間中卡死在開啟中 , 體驗很差

### 3/5 — This game used to work on my device until this happened...

*2021-02-18*

When I first installed this app it worked well no problems or anything. Then whenever I try to play the game it says "An Error Occurred"and it offers me to try to get someone to help with I the problem and nothing happens just a black screen.             Then whenever I try to get in a second time it's just a black screen and after a few second the game just kicks me out. Can you please take the time to fix this bug or whatever this is? But anyway I still like this game and I would still play it if this never happened.

### 4/5 — Great game but

*2020-09-18, version 1.33*

It has a pretty minor bug that drives me crazy, it’s been a while since I found out about it and it hasn’t been fixed yet. Excluding that, it’s great game.

### 4/5 — Running Ads in Landscape

*2020-09-07, version 1.33*

When I play this game on the iPad, I prefer running it in landscape mode. However, when I opt to participate in running ads , the orientation is locked to portrait. It all but prevents me from playing. Please fix. Otherwise, I love this game.

### 2/5 — 6$!!!!

*2020-02-15*

Okay I love Kairosoft games possibly one of my favorite 3rd party companies of all time but not everything is a home run. Like this. First this game is $6 one dollar more than usual. For a game that’s really really sub par. There is not Much to do here the game kinda just plays its self. This is possibly one of, if not the most boring one of all the games. The only reason I support this game is that it’s made by Kairosoft and that I could never give them 1 star. But if you’re considering getting this one as your next game I would suggest getting a different Kairosoft game instead.

### 3/5 — Must fix the falsely advertised 24-hr Ads On Bonus!!!

*2019-11-23*

I agree with the other reviewer warning to SKIP the 50 Coin Bonus for 24 hrs of ads.  I took the bait thinking I could deal for a day...it automatically removes the screen rotation option (so it’s stuck in vertical mode) AND it has now been 3 days since I allowed the Ads.  Having read the other review, I now understand that it’s 24-hrs of screen open play time.  ....does that mean 24 hours of CONTINUOUS play?  Cuz that’s just not possible for me.  Please fix this.  I don’t expect this kind of trickery from the game development company I have been loyal to for a decade.  I own EVERY Kairosoft available to iPhone users — even the ones NOT formatted in English yet that I can’t understand.  (I been able to manage as the formats are similar, but I’m sure I am missing some key bits of info for the Freight Dock themed game.)

### 5/5 — 開羅忠實玩家JK

*2019-06-16, version 1.33*

我是開羅系列的忠實玩家,我先說每款遊戲我都有買,而且也都玩很久,我個人推薦開羅系列的幾個作品,首選一定是箱庭鐵道物語,耐玩程度一定是開羅付費遊戲中最耐玩的,像其他系列一樣有的優點機會都有,建築等級,相容性,裝備,居民,以及要求完美的我們,給予後期玩家打造更完美車站的建築組合,總而言之這是一款會讓你一玩再玩的神作！

### 3/5 — Good game but,

*2019-05-01*

This game is but I put like 10h in to it and I’m still feel like I’m getting no where this shouldn’t be this hard it’s a Mobile game not pc make it feel like one

### 5/5 — Could you please add a way to delete platforms pleases

*2018-12-21*

Good game but I accidentally made a error in building metro stations please add way to delete them

### 5/5 — ใครลังเล อ่านรีวิวเราก่อนได้

*2018-11-30, version 1.33*

เกมนี้เป็นเกมที่ต้องพัฒนาสถานีรถไฟให้เจริญขึ้น พอครบปีหากเราปลดล็อคเงื่อนไขได้ จะทำการปลดล็อกสถานที่ใหม่ให้เราไปพัฒนาใหม่ กำไรจากสถานีเก่าจะถูกเพิ่มในตอนสิ้นสุดของวัน รวมกับรายได้จากสถานีที่เล่นใหม่ สามารถปลดล็อครถไฟพิเศษ ประเภทต่างๆ จากการพัฒนาสถานีนั้นๆจนได้แร้งค์ 1
ความเห็นส่วนตัว เป็นเกมที่สนุกดีนะ แต่ค่อนข้างใช้เวลานาน ไม่เหมาะกับคนที่ต้องการเมพไวๆเลย

### 5/5 — Great, this real kairosoft game

*2018-08-21, version 1.30*

1 time paid, no extra charge. Addictive gameplay, lovely

*2021-04-11*

### 1/5 — 離譜，超多Bug，伏！

하고싶으시면 다른 카이로게임 사세요ㅋㅋ
이건 진짜 아님 ㅠㅠ..

### 5/5 — อยากรู้ว่า level cap คืออะไร

### 5/5 — Es un muy buen juego

*2021-11-02, version 1.37*

Es un excelente juego pero lo que me molesto es que hayan anuncios aún siendo de paga, espero solo sea un bug

### 5/5 — 난 역대급 재밌었는데...

*2020-11-16*

역시 취향 차이가 있나봐요

### 5/5 — 카이로소프트 게임 중 최고!

*2020-09-23*

역시 모든 사람 구미에 맞는 게임을 만드는 건 힘든 것 같네요. 전 이 게임이 카이로소프트 게임 중 제일 재밌게 했는데 아니라는 분들이 많아서 조금 놀랐어요. 우선 상성 안찾아봐도 되어서 좋고 배치선이 있어서 편하게 플레이할 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 이전부터 계속해서 카이로소프트게임을 해오고 있는데 요즘 무슨 일인지 게임이 나오지 않아 조금 걱정되네요. 모든 분들 코로나 와중에 건강 조심하시고 제작진 분들께서도 항상 건강하셨으면 좋겠습니다! 코로나 때는 나가지 말고 우리 모두 즐겜해용 ☺️

### 5/5 — ชอบรถไฟมาก

*2020-04-02, version 1.33*

สนุกมาก ไม่เสียดายเงิน ภาพน่ารัก

### 5/5 — Good Kairosoft Game

*2019-08-08*

I think this is one of the better Kairosoft games,mostly for the fact that I always tried to get 1 of my stations to #1 and get some of the better trains as well,the only downside is that the better trains are really expensive,so much so that even with all the station earnings,I could only buy one or two a year or so in game time. Regardless I enjoy this game.

### 5/5 — Best game ever!!!

*2019-06-30*

When I downloaded this game I started learning the game fast but I was finding it hard to earn money but I kept on trying my best like extending, expanding and building and as my rank got high enough to the rank 30’s and 40’s my yearly earnings were great and I have unlocked a couple new maps for getting in the top 40’s.
