### 4/5 — Amazing game, a few recommendations

*2026-08-29, version 2.22.18*

First, I want to say this game is very addicting and I’ve spent more time and money than I’d like to mention on it, but with that there are a few things I want to address/recommend, my main thing is the offline money generation. Coming back the next day to 3000 passengers served for only like 3000 gold is insane, when I could make that dropping like 30 passengers on a single trip, oh and for only 5 gems you can multiply it to get what you really should be making in the first place, I think that system should be increased substantially. Lastly, I highly recommend adding some kind of preset system for our trains, ie, if I was wanting to focus on passenger transport, or cargo transport, I would use different cars and engines and so on, so being able to switch between a preset for those would be nice. Again great game and thank you

### 4/5 — game is still great butttt

*2026-08-17, version 2.22.18*

### 4/5 — Please improve the language

*2026-07-25, version 2.22.18*

I fall in love with the game,it’s very great for myself. I’m very interested in trains.The game is partly good,but the language in Simplified Chinese was not well than before. I hope you can repair the problem.

### 3/5 — Was great until

*2026-07-08, version 2.22.18*

Really love the game, but when I get to Canada west it says one of the quests to complete the region is to buy 15 stations, but there are only 12 stations.

### 5/5 — AMAZING GAME

*2026-06-29, version 2.22.18*

I like how you’re able to unlock the whole world and so far I’m doing great at this game but to be honest this game is perfect and I like how they added a Easter egg which was related to the show bevaus and buthead(I forgot what it was) but yeah clean 5 stars for this game

### 5/5 — 景色

*2026-06-17, version 2.22.18*

他这个极光是要怎么才能出发？

### 1/5 — Ads

*2026-09-06, version 2.22.18*

Can’t have a relaxing game without cash grab adds everywhere right? Jesus…

### 1/5 — Not fun

*2026-08-20, version 2.22.18*

It’s hard

### 1/5 — Doesnt give you your in app purchases

*2026-08-11, version 2.22.18*

I purchased the VIP subscription which claimed to give 3 free trial days, two gumball rolls upon purchasing and a free gumball roll every four hours among other things. I purchased the subscription, the listing in the store went away so i could not verify the perks I have not received and was charged immediately instead of being given a trial.

### 1/5 — No Audio

*2026-07-13, version 2.22.18*

No audio on iPhone 17

### 1/5 — Really?

*2026-07-03, version 2.22.18*

3.99 a week for no random ads? I would’ve been fine with even a option for 30 dollars to remove ads entirely but at that, I don’t care how good your game is.

### 1/5 — Ruined

*2026-05-28, version 2.22.18*

A once great game that now requires you to watch ads to progress. Ruining the experience for players, they should go back to the previous game design a few years ago.

### 1/5 — Story line?

*2026-04-26, version 2.22.18*

I’ve played up to the point where the story line doesn’t continue. Waiting for an update so I can keep expanding and find out what happens next. Wrote an email and was told there is no timeline or expectation for this to happen. Yet, events keep getting updated. I’ve stopped playing, no point now. Huge waste of time to not even be able to finish the story. Please work on expanding the main story line!

### 1/5 — Rewards Not Given

*2026-04-20*

Partnered apps do not give rewards, do not fall for the scam and waste your time.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are sorry to hear this. Please let us know more about your issue via support@trophy-games.com

### 1/5 — Vault not working offline

*2026-03-31, version 2.22.18*

I cannot seem to collect more than $7,000 in my vault when the game is running all night. It will say something like 100 stations and such but will only make a couple thousand. I have auto depart on and have tried setting a way point and not but neither seems to make a difference. I cannot find a way to contact the developer about this .

### 1/5 — Fun pixel train slideshow

*2026-03-02, version 2.22.18*

Very Addicted to this but then I drop my phone and Broke my PhOne 😦

### 5/5 — Solid Game

*2026-09-03, version 2.22.18*

Big fan of the style and how much effort went into the custom backgrounds for the various locations including the photographable landmarks.

Some thoughts:
- I prefer to run a full cargo train instead of passenger/cargo. But I feel that this play-style is not very profitable or interesting in terms of content.
- I’d like to see the storyline be incorporated into the existing cargo system. For example, when you need to bring water to a town experiencing drought, you would actually fill your storage slots with water from the market, then bring them. Instead of the magically loading and unloading quest items.
- I wish I wasn’t as encouraged to level up my carts via merging because I really enjoy the aesthetic of having consistency between carts (all tankers, or all sea cans). Sometimes levelling up a car doesn’t even improve your train due to a net-loss of stats.
- I would prefer that instead of taking an unrealistic tunnel across the Atlantic that you start a new train in Europe instead. Nice way to start fresh and you could always return to North America and your previous train.

Solid game, I just wasn’t able to maintain interest past Europe. Thank you for this incredible experience!

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2026-09-01, version 2.22.18*

I love the game but next update u should make it to where u can make a custom cart for 30 gems 💎

### 5/5 — Pretty good game

*2026-08-28, version 2.22.18*

I remember playing this when I was younger and really enjoying at the time. I redownloaded it because it popped up and now it’s even better than I remember

### 5/5 — OMG OMG this game is so cool 100/100 I’m addicted so much y’all are the best

*2026-08-18, version 2.22.18*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-07, version 2.22.18*

I love the game. I just wish that when you were choosing a cart from like the gumball machine, you got like three choices or like more options to choose from or like an option to buy train cars for coins and more variety because I wanna stick with certain themes sometimes and not like have mixed up stuff but good game

### 5/5 — Started playing its fun af and chill to play on roadtrips and at home

*2026-07-24, version 2.22.18*

### 5/5 — :)

*2026-07-24, version 2.22.18*

Great game but can you please add behemoth coal car

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-20, version 2.22.18*

I love the game so much I unlocked a new country called Canada but there is one thing missing: More trains. Add more trains to almost all checklists in the game, daily rewards, and even the shop. I love the game so much that you guys should add more train cars, locomotives, and cabooses

### 5/5 — fun

*2026-07-17, version 2.22.18*

fun game 👍

### 5/5 — Love this game.

*2026-07-11, version 2.22.18*

It’s so relaxing! I am usually watching videos while I collect cargo but watching the train move along is peaceful for me. Ads are optional but I’m always clicking on them for extra gems etc. I truly enjoy the relaxing vibes.
