The levels aren’t that hard and the strategy is simple enough. ### 3/5 — Game was buggy *2024-06-22, version 2.3* It’s really good but I discovered a bug and every time when I would click on the building to upgrade it, just glitch and it goes on just show the loading screen ### 3/5 — I don’t think it’s bad, it’s just not for me. *2024-06-16, version 2.3* The game is fun but it is really hard, it also is in a short time limit so if you like to take your time don’t buy this. It also is kind of annoying with several things I disagree with, it is still impressive however I cannot see myself rating it higher. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2024-06-06, version 2.3* Could be a great fun game but when it freezes over and over, it’s had to get any enjoyment from the game. ### 2/5 — Buttons *2024-04-07, version 2.3* When you have to hit the buy buttons or any button more than 10 times to get any thing to work it does make the game more difficult ### 4/5 — Steampower Power *2024-03-27, version 2.3* Tricky at first but the addictive. Good graphics. No complaints at all ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t open on iPhone *2026-02-19, version 2.3* As title says ### 1/5 — App is called crashed *2025-11-01, version 2.3* App won’t load off the main screen. I’ve deleted and reinstalled twice and still the same thing ### 1/5 — Won’t Open *2025-09-08, version 2.3* Downloaded the game. Used to play it a while back and really liked it, but now it won’t even open. ### 1/5 — Was a fantastic game, now doesnt work! *2025-07-05, version 2.3* I downloaded the game thinking it would be much the same as the other 'freeware' titles and would require huge amounts of money to actually play, but three hours later I am delighted to say that it is absolutely brilliant, and it hasn't cost a penny either! Highly recommended! Sadly, that review was a year ago…now it doesn’t work and just hangs on the opening screen ### 1/5 — Angry *2025-06-04, version 2.3* I used to play this game all the time. Tried playing it again and now the game will not load whatsoever. I tried deleting it and reinstalling the game, still nothing. It’s sad. I used to love this game. I’m truly disappointed! ### 1/5 — What can I say *2025-05-31, version 2.3* All I get is a picture of an old steam train, no game, nothing……………waste of time. ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-05-13, version 2.3* I’d love to review this game properly, but it won’t fully load, so I haven’t actually played it. ### 1/5 — A bit upset *2025-04-29, version 2.3* Don’t know about everyone else but I’m having trouble getting past the loading screen ### 1/5 — How to rate if…. *2025-04-18, version 2.3* It doesn’t even open ### 1/5 — 403 error *2025-03-16, version 2.3* Looks like I got a 403 error ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Can’t get past loading screen! *2025-10-21, version 2.3* I love this game but can’t get passed the loading screen. Just got the 16 pro. ;-( ### 5/5 — Fun and addictive! *2025-02-04, version 2.3* Great game! ### 5/5 — Fun and challenging *2024-09-09, version 2.3* I can’t put my phone down. Don’t have to spend money for the win. ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing train tycoon *2024-07-07, version 2.3* Fun game if you like tycoon style games. Don’t need to spend a ton of money or time to develop resources which is great! Needs a little improvement in its mechanics to speed up the learning curve. Laying new track is not intuitive. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2024-04-06, version 2.3* I just started playing this game today and LOVE it. I love train games and this is very rewarding game. ### 5/5 — FUN *2024-03-29, version 2.3* Great game! ### 5/5 — Trains *2024-02-26, version 2.3* Trains are pretty cool ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-02-19, version 2.3* This is a very good game ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-12-18, version 2.3* Love trains ### 5/5 — Great Challenge *2023-10-05, version 2.3* This is a great "tycoon" game. Lots of challenges, lots of variety, very realistic. Hours of brain challenge! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
