My first review and some suggestions

Overall the game is great I like playing tycoon games particularly train related there are some problems though 1 the steam locomotives that had tenders in real life need to have tenders and the right kind for that engine 2 I think it would be a good idea to be able to cross over track with out bridges and 3 I don’t know if this is a technical issue or an actual game feature but the different paint jobs particular the alternate ones when I get the correct color and paint job if I turn the switch that puts it on all the locomotives if it’s an alternate paint job it only puts it on the one I painted but besides all of that I give it a 9 out of 10

Accurate Review

Someone wrote an inaccurate review. They mistakenly wrote that this game has minimal complexity. They must have been reviewing an earlier edition or a different game because this has all the complexity that the original Railroad Tycoon, which I owned in 1990. It’s a great game that requires building stations, laying tracks, finding resources, and connecting resources to different stations to earn greater revenue. You can play against 0 to 3 other AI players. It has multiple levels of complexity and 15 different scenarios. Now, whether the AI players are geniuses or not, I’m not sure, but that’s not been an issue. It’s still a fantastic game—very complex. Any review that says anything different is wrong.

Best Railroad Game Out There

So happy that Feral brought this to iPhone! Been waiting so long for this game to be portable so thanks so much for taking a great game and bringing to IPhone! Definitely recommend to all train enthusiasts and gamers! Wanted to ask a question to developers. I have all sounds effects up to the max, but the train whistles and any talking at the stations (like all aboard) I can barely hear, both of these were louder on the PC version. Is this something I can make louder? Or maybe a glitch that can be fixed? Thanks again!

Just like the old days

If you remember this from when it came out on PC, the port is faithful and plays just the same. The trains and maps look great and the interface is fine once you figure out where everything is. It’s a fun, well designed game, but if what you’re looking for is a model train set, be forewarned. There is a sandbox mode, but the main game involves a lot more than laying tracks, choosing engines, and routing cargo. Stock prices, patents, changing markets, and cutthroat competitors all must be managed. For me that business layer is too prominent and saps some of the joy out of running your railroad. But not enough to keep me from recommending this if the premise sounds appealing. A lot of train joy still shines through.

Good, but not great. However the potential is certainly there

This game is good overall. For the most part it’s fully featured and has many nice touches. However there are few things holding it back from being truly great. - One way track or better yet signals would be very helpful - Better track / depot connections - An option for longer games - More complex buyout mechanics, it should be more complex / fun to architect a buyout of a larger company rather than just saving up money - Above all else, far more complex supply chains, up to something similar to Steel Town FIRS in OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon) - Multiplayer lobbies - A wider variety of trains including high speed - A campaign - A few more maps / scenarios (Asia?) - More messages from the other AIs in game These would easily add significantly more gameplay to the game. I’d easily pay $15-$20 for these features. A good game sure, especially with all the small charming touches, but not quite great.

the last railroad tycoon

I remember when this game came out on PC. It was the last installment of the Railroad Tycoon series. It is just like I remember and plays really well on iPad. Lots of fun. My only complaint about this game, and it’s a complaint I had when it originally came out, is the laughably tiny maps. It takes no time to conquer the map, especially with 3 players. I don’t know why that change was made from the large maps of older games. I wish there were more Railroad Tycoon and Transport Tycoon games!

Terrific train game!!

I played this game for many years on my PC. I like the convenience of playing the game on my IPAD. The game runs flawlessly on my IPAD 6 with 128K memory. I Appreciate buying the game completely upfront with no in app purchases necessary to advance. Play the game as much as I want with each scenario and no additional purchases necessary to win or complete the scenario! Having said that I would gladly pay for additional map/scenario packages! Are there any plans to offer additional map packages? I hope so!

How to decide if so little time to?

I know it is understandable that when trying the free trial, I won’t get all the perks, I understand it wouldn’t be better than buying the full game, but I feel as though they could’ve at least given another scenario and the timeframe be extended by 30 years at least, as a free trial at least is a short, one map, one scenario, & little to adjust. I feel as though if said things were to happen, it would help me further contemplate and decide if I should buy the game or not. As the short pacific coast map and short timeframe does not. not like they’re actually gonna listen, I’m just expressing how I feel
