The UI breaks, you can’t start your turn, things that prevent you from actually playing. Bummer. Used to be such a cozy game to play. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2021-11-05* Please make a 3rd one. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2016-10-27* I love this game and I do recommend it if you like to trade Land, building, stocks, car, trailer ### 2/5 — All about making money *2014-08-29* Typical developer, they take a fun game, and make the next version all about the money with IAP. The first game got 5 stars for being fun, this version gets 2 because of the developer was more concerned with making money than making a fun game. ### 2/5 — Fix the bug(s) *2014-04-16* Fun game but it crashes just when things start to get interesting. I wouldn't recommend buying this until the bug is fixed. Bugged ### 3/5 — Each level costs money *2014-03-18* The game itself is five stars. However, the second and third cities cost 20 gold bars each to unlock, and these gold bars are in-app purchases. Some gold bars are provided already and you can win some by beating the level, but it ends up being about a $5 app. Let me pay the money up front and have all levels instead of being suckered in and then paying the money. ### 1/5 — Crash making me pay twice *2014-03-08* I like the sequel, and I felt like the IAP was reasonable for the extra maps, until a recent crash that reset the table and it is now requiring me to buy the IAP maps all over again. Too bad. I'm done with this game because I can't trust that it won't happen over and over. ### 3/5 — Needs an update *2013-12-29* As a big fan of the first version, I welcome new cities and a more challenging AI. However, this version feels 1step forward and 2 back. I think an update would be needed to make it a better game: 1. Starting a custom game still brings up tasks like in a campaign. Bonus tasks are ridiculous and unbalanced in favor of the human player and should not be in a custom game. 2. I like that the AI is now buying cards but they buy the wrong ones. 3. There is a glitch on parking spaces - it would say x lost a turn and the graphics will remain on the screen the rest of the game. 4. Factories are very unbalanced, never a reason to build anything else. 5. Casino spaces are completely unnecessary and does not belong in a competitive strategy game. It seems to hurt the AI too much as I never bet. 6. The AI does not build up properties early enough when they should. 7. The air still buy vehicles when they shouldn't (this was one of the worse things in version 1). 8. Is there ever a need for the iap in this game? 9. It is way too easy to buy out an opponent. Another feature that weakens the AI even more. In the first version, I use a house rule of not buying cards because that makes the game way too easy. But you have made the AI even weaker in this game, which I think a patch can fix. ### 2/5 — Stick with Trade Mania 1 *2013-10-22, version 1.00* I was so excited to see the new version as the original had, in its slightly soothing and compulsive way, been a staple for me. Trade Mania 1 had its limitations - it became far too easy and was rather (comfortingly) repetitive with very little variation in strategy; but something about it was good as I played it all the freaking time. The new version claims to make the AI more competitive, but I've played 5 games in a row now and have won without stress. The same problems with AI still exist even on the hard setting - not enough aggression, trading, and you retain the old advantage of being able to buy after you've made money for trading. A new feature has been introduced, which is the bidding for auctioned properties - a great idea which should add to the sense of unpredictability, but I've never not won one. So in fact the game got easier. The variations added are welcome - you can now choose a type of building, with differing outcomes, with each site you own. Ultimately, though, it's hard to see what difference it makes. The fact that the game has opted for the in-app purchases model is disappointing also. Maybe when you buy units the game gets better and more complex - but I would rather always pay straight up and get the full game. One positive note, the rather sexist phrasing that made all players 'he' has disappeared. ### 1/5 — Nonfunctional *2013-10-11* I try to play a campaign, come as far as the loading screen. Every time 35% is reached, the app crashes. Please fix at once! ## Frequently asked questions about Trade Mania 2 ### What is Trade Mania 2?
