"Finally, a deep and fun train management game designed perfectly for phones. Iron Roads is so much more than just a desktop game crammed onto a small screen!" Optimise and grow your railways in this challenging train management game. Earn resource tokens by refining your network until your towns are thriving. Avoid queues, jams, or angry passengers to be recognised as the unsung train hero you know you are. Iron Roads is a top-down 2D train management game in which you lay tracks, buy trains, and set their routes until you have an efficient network carrying passengers and cargo between your towns and factories. With board game-inspired mechanics such as resource tokens, geographically-induced space constraints, and innovative track order systems, Iron Roads will appeal to players who relish the more cerebral, optimisation elements of train simulation games, as opposed to more realistic business sim/tycoon-type games. Ultimately, your goal is to set up an efficient rail network that keeps your passengers happy and on-time. Features: - "Try before you buy" model. Download for free, and unlock the entire game with a one off purchase - Universal purchase. Buy once for iOS, macOS, tvOS - iCloud saves, enabling seamless gameplay across your devices
Sol de Cuba
Read full descriptionHide full description
The island runs on diesel. It is loud, it is filthy, and it eats the budget every single night. You are the new energy minister. You have the sun, the trade winds, and a map. That is the job. BUILD WHERE IT COUNTS Panels want open sand and bare hillsides — jungle shade costs you output. Turbines want the coast and the high ground, and they steal the wind from each other if you crowd them. Every tile is a small decision. THE SUN GOES DOWN Demand does not stop at dusk. Bank the afternoon surplus in batteries and run the island through the night on what you stored. Run short and the lights go out, and people notice. FOUR CHAPTERS, ONE ISLAND AT A TIME Puerto Vista is a gentle start. Bahía Verde is hungrier. Sierra Alta throws hurricanes at you. Habana Libre is the capital, and everyone is watching. New kinds of station unlock as you go: biogas that burns cane waste through the night, offshore turbines out in the shallows. ENDLESS MODE Finish the campaign and keep going. No targets, just your own record: how many days can you hold the whole island on clean power? — Four campaign chapters plus an unlockable Endless mode — Six kinds of station, each upgradable three levels — A living island: day and night, weather, drifting cloud, hurricanes — Choice-driven events with real consequences and no game over

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sol de Cuba at none against Iron Roads's 10. Sol de Cuba also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Iron Roads's advantage is device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
