### 3/5 — 育成がキツい

*2026-08-12*

列車の育成には育成対象と同じレア度のギアが必要になる(これはわかる)それとは別に最低レア度のギアもソレなりの数を要求される。そのためデイリーなどでもらえるギアガチャがある意味最低レア度が当たりだったりする。また、育成に必要なゲーム内資金(コイン)もまぁまぁ必要であり、無課金では育成が非常に困難。イベントやガチャでせっかく最高レア度の列車を手に入れても育成がままならず使えない列車を集めている感覚になる。イベントで限定列車(イベント中は荷物等材料が増えるバフがかかる事が多い)を先に手に入れて少し育成すれば多少有利に進めるが、イベントが終わったらバフも無くなるので中途半端に育てた列車が生まれるだけになる。もっと育成しやすいやようにして欲しい。コレでは頑張って列車を手に入れるモチベーションが上がらないです。

**Developer response:** こんにちは！貴重なフィードバックありがとうございます。列車の育成に関するご意見、特にギアやゲーム内資金のバランスについてのご感想、大変参考になります。いただいたコメントはしっかりとチームに共有し、ゲーム体験向上のための参考にさせていただきます。今後ともよろしくお願いします！

### 4/5 — Game frame rate drops

*2026-08-11, version 4.39.0*

The game started dropping frames after the last update; the game designers, please look into this.

### 4/5 — Please read this if you are from Pixelfederation:

*2026-08-06, version 4.29.0*

I love this game no, sorry I loved this game. Can you please let me back in. If you can I will resend this with positive words and 5 stars.

### 4/5 — Play Level One several times.

*2026-07-24, version 4.38.0*

The first level (Uk)is quite cute. A lot better than many. The train destinations take about 20seconds or so, the resources are quick and the manufacturing is also short so the game is fairly pleasant to play. It takes about a day to get to level 2. Unfortunately as you enter level 2 (Germany) every thing slows down and they push paid for and advertisement accelerators relentlessly. Every new feature seems designed to get in the way and it gets worse. No fun and lots of slog. Last time I stopped at France. This time probably Germany….
The weird thing about this game that doesn’t affect the playing other than cosmetically is the train assignments. There is little logic and many examples that are just wrong. For example the LNER A3 the classic British Engine is in Germany and the Nord 140 (French), Prussian P8 (German) and Erie L1 (US) is in the UK. What? Did do they go on holiday?

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-21, version 4.37.0*

Fun game just the number of ads and the length of the ads have increased to an irritating level!

### 3/5 — Too many, too much, too long

*2026-07-16, version 4.37.0*

I really loved this game at first.  I liked the visuals, the gameplay and the different worlds.
I played this for as long as I could until the sheer volume of ads, trains to obtain, events to plow through, and just plain time wasting wore me down.  I found myself drifting back to the game only to be stymied by hours of production time, transport time, etc.  I am not going to live as long as it will take to play this game.  So I must leave at the next station.

### 5/5 — This game is great

*2026-06-28, version 4.36.0*

I love the blue comet because it’s my most favourite steam locomotive I the world and I loved how they did such a great job to not only the blue comet but all of their trains

### 5/5 — Read or just leave it but devs pls read

*2026-06-27, version 4.36.0*

I cry because no 3194 pls add for free for USA can u make it not be affected by restrictions 
Pls you guy made TRAINZ FINALY HAVE COMPATISION

### 5/5 — Cool but I thought it was a sandbox game

*2026-06-24, version 4.35.0*

Ok so I downloaded it a couple weeks ago it looked fun and it still is but I thought it was a sandbox game so if you can like add a sandbox mode that would make it %100 better but still really fun

### 4/5 — Great game, but now won’t respond after loading

*2026-06-24, version 4.35.0*

Enjoying the game, but for last week, game loads, but clicking the station icon for tutorial won’t now respond upon loading and no other icons work. Have tried restarting game and reinstalling with no resolution. Any ideas?
Thanks

### 3/5 — Nice until it stopped working

*2026-06-22, version 4.35.0*

Liked it well enough. Interesting art, easy to follow.
After a download on Day 3, I deleted it because it didn’t do anything anymore. Wasn’t frozen, just didn’t respond.

### 1/5 — Rewards rips off

*2026-08-22, version 4.40.0*

You keep asking for a review, here it is. A great game sullied by rewards not being fulfilled, leading to frustration and a feeling of being ‘ripped off’. And, don’t try and contact “support” because you cannot. There is no support !!!!

### 1/5 — Not A Simulator game!!!

*2026-08-21, version 4.40.0*

Tap and wait game

### 1/5 — Stole my permanent dispatcher

*2026-08-08, version 4.39.0*

I started the game with 5 dispatchers and earned the ability to purchase an extra permanent dispatcher, which gave me 6.  I can add a temporary dispatcher for an hour by watching an ad, which gave me 7. Today I started with 5 permanent dispatchers.  Where did my 6th dispatcher go? I’m deleting this game.

### 1/5 — Steep price hikes

*2026-07-28, version 4.38.0*

I’ve played this game for years, but I’m about ready to delete it. First, as others have said, to have any chance of being competitive you have to spend money - sometimes a lot of it. And they have just implemented a huge price hike. It appears to be at least a 20% hike on a fully established game. Which brings me to my second point. There’s very little new to the game. They repeat events and jobs with great regularity. Even when they introduce a new region, it’s really just rehashing the old. 

I’ve been playing for over 5 years, but I’m tired of paying for the old game over and over again.

### 1/5 — Great Game but designed to make $$$

*2026-07-19, version 4.37.0*

This is a great game very addicting.  But is designed for you to spend money every which way.  You go up levels but for everything you need emeralds, of course you can buy emeralds so you can upgrade faster.  But they lock you down if you don’t.  As you go up it keeps costing you more items to upgrade trains and places but you don’t earn more emeralds for watching their advertisements all you get is 1 emerald.  Again great game but built to get your money.
(Updated 8/27/25)
So a few things I discovered 
1) is they have a sale on parts that they list out and then show a +50% which to me means if you buy that package you would get the parts plus 50% more.
2). So when you go to upgrade the trains it tells how many gears needed to upgrade but each time you upgrade it keeps increasing by 9% for each time you upgrade.  As you become a tycoon as they put parts increase what you need to upgrade but your rewards for the job don’t!!!!!

### 1/5 — BS

*2026-07-06, version 4.36.0*

Train disappearing after I was delivering product didn’t finish and trains are gone

### 1/5 — You have to pay

*2026-07-06, version 4.36.0*

There are levels you can’t play unless you buy trains. Very frustrating. Just another money grab.

### 1/5 — Do a special update

*2026-07-01, version 4.36.0*

Hello there TrainStation2. I want to add a special update where you can go back to the country. You are in to still get those trains. If you don’t have that update then I’m gonna put a lawsuit on you. I swear to God I will do it so you have two options the lawsuit or the special update where you can go back to a country and still unlock a train your decision.

### 1/5 — Finishing an add is an act of frustration

*2026-06-15, version 4.35.0*

Hey developers figure out in game notification. They pop up for NOTHING NEW and
I am so so tired of adds not ending   with the first X, or second or third or fourth sometimes even more. This is the one reason I regularly think of not playing anymore. Ridiculous!!!😡😡

### 1/5 — Locked game

*2026-06-11, version 4.34.1*

Just switched to an iPad Mini.  Downloaded game and it started at level 1.  On Android device I was at level 490!  Now game locks up as soon as I get to level 4!  Ready to give it up.

### 5/5 — Great Game..but inaccurate age rating

*2026-08-16, version 4.39.0*

This game is very good. I honestly must say I like the jobs but it’s got an inaccurate age rating. I think it should be 9+ instead of 13+.

You should go ahead and play it. I’d say it’s good.
