What they complain about

- Game loses progress or resources after updates
- Production bottlenecks force you to wait for hours
Great
Nothing could be improved
Unauthorized Charges
I like this game but developer keeps posting unauthorized charges to my account.
A good resource management game.
An enjoyable game bar events. It is a resource management game, so for those that expect unlimited resources from mines and instant production, not for you. Train restrictions on “suitable” trains for some tasks is a bit irritating, and some delivery times are questionable, when a location is obviously closer but takes twice as long to get to. Other than that an enjoyable game. Others have mentioned crashes, never had a problem. Close to 5* but not quite.
Game always closes after opening
Everytime time i open the game it closes after about 90sec
Takes so long to manufacture stuff it actually keeps you from playing the game.
Opened the fourth region. When you open a region, you start with new trains for that region that don’t haul much. That would be a big deal if the jobs took that into consideration. One job requires 360 ladders. Not including the time it takes to gather the materials, each set of 60 ladders take 5 hours to make. So just for that job it has 30 hours of build time in the metallurgical plant. 90 % of everything passes through the metallurgical plant. It’s such a bottleneck that it stops you from playing waiting on stuff to finish being made. Sadly will probably delete the game for this reason.
Updating iOS might solve game crash
I had another train game crash on me also
Email support never responded
Independence Day even paid for the business class and played it.. maxed all three trains Woke up today to have to restart it all because game crash Now event trains gone and wants me to start over with 3 days of a multiple week event. No in game chat with corporation and haven’t been able to play annual or expansion for a few weeks. Internet isn’t issue because others can play in my 9G network and same model phone. Have had ticket in since June. Only word is, they can credit event trains lost. As a programmer, I know they can. I am told lies over and over again. Was told nothing but lies. I emailed support and they never answered
Great game BUT the updates are problematic.
I would really like to give this game 5 stars. Pro - 1. you can move up to this game without needing to spend $$ unless you want to; 2. Interesting facts along the way. 3. In the past the developers have sorted out the issues due to the updates. I’m hopeful for same results. It would be great if these can be avoided. CON - the updates are pushed with a lot of bugs it seems. Just the most recent 2 updates, I lost my duplicate trains but have not received the compensation the app said I would get. I have fully upgraded trains before I learned about the upcoming switch in several regions 2. July event downgraded my raw materials to original levels that I worked hard to upgrade with other tasks
Баги!
Пропадает расширеннее шахт! Служба поддержки отвечает очень долго до 7 дней! Получили они письмо или нет не понятно, статус не известен! Игра тупо на донате. Баксов и голды дают очень мало а прокачка обходиться очень дорого!
Fun but frustrating
This is a set up and walk away type game. I’m up in the 300s level. Big issues is filling orders has a huge bottle neck having most order needing to go through metallurgical factory. Pay money to speed up. To fill primary orders to progress game is going to take days of waiting on product to be produced. Since July update there is a bug in point Earning point, where you will see your points drop, iit forgot you just filled orders and all point don’t register. I’ve been in top scores so maybe they need to slow me down. Joining teams is also a waste of time play individual as player drop you from the team after contribution and no way to contact or chat, no points, just out.
Relax
It’s fine
Lost a lot of money on this game!
I really liked the game up until it stopped working. It seems after the last upgrade, the Fourth of July, the game no longer connects to the Internet. So I can no longer, save the game to the cloud, or download the game from the cloud. I spent a lot of money, buying downloads, coins, train upgrades, etc. All that is gone now. I contacted support, it seemed like in the beginning they were there for me. Then something happened and they just stopped communicating. Really disappointed, I’m gonna delete the game.
Latest update
Does not open after the latest update. After latest iOS update on my iPad, this app does not open.
Beautiful game Terrible Mechanics
I have been putting off deleting this game for awhile. I was hoping they would eventually get the mechanics of the game worked out. I even wrote them once to let them know I thought they got the mechanics of train delivery to produce time backwards. It takes a long time to produce goods. Which leaves my trains in the train yards for hours. I would rather it take a long time to deliver because my trains are traveling and I could enjoy watching the trains run in this beautiful environment. Yet that is not the case. After years of hoping.I have finally deleted the game. Sad to see for such breathtaking graphics.
Good game, bad crafting system
I do enjoy this game and watching the cities being built is fun, however the crafting is extremely unbalanced. For example the chisels: I am on a quest where i need 120 chisels, and each batch of chisels produces 60. This sounds good, until I need 120 of the lumber and 120 of the billets, where the billets return 50 for 60 iron bars, but for 69 iron bars i need 60 iron ore and 60 coals. To put it in short, you need too many crafting resources (and at times, multiple levels of crafting) to get returns of 1/2 to 1/4 of what you put in at each level.
Amazing but one question
This game is amazing awesome trains awesome graphics the stuff you make is super duper cool but one thing… I wish you could drive the trains so any developers looking at this review please add a feature where you can drive trains
Fatality Flawed Game
When not saved to server you lose purchases and progress. I really enjoyed this game but am now deleting it.
Good game but
Good game that I play regularly. However I keep getting a check internet connection message at the end of a “year “. I’ve finished in the top three the last few times but can’t claim rewards! Nothing wrong with my internet connection
Lost upgrades post update
Lost mining location upgrades after newest update.
Fun game…
Game is enjoyable, but the frequency of corporation competitions combined with holiday events turns it from relaxing to an unnecessary volume of work. My corporation went from a group of fun individuals to an overwhelmed and worn out group of aging folks. The devs need to realize their audience and adjust to older people who have families. Not gonna make that money if you take the enjoyment of trains out of the train enthusiasts.
Favorite game
I love the game and sound effects of the different trains you can get
Recent update downgrade my resource capacity
Latest independence day update reduced my resources capacity like coal, iron etc.
Latest update
Since the latest update, the game will not load past 49% on the iPad or iPhone. Other than the latest update issue, I enjoy playing the game.
Updates are robbery
Whenever they roll out an update I’ve noticed that the cash on hand amount is less than what I had before as well as the train capacities. Frustrating after all the time I’ve put into this game. I’m debating on removing it and moving on to something else.
Optimization Needed
As with all games, monetary income is the developers goal. I gotta say that $30 for the Independence Day pass is ridiculous and not worth it based on the crumbs offered. The Expansion team events need to be optimized. It seems every event gets dominated by European teams that clearly coordinate with each other to target your team and take your contested routes while leaving each other alone to gather points. Totally frustrating to not be able to gain any ground while you see the European teams prosper and you end up with a zero because your routes get taken and theirs don’t.

Don’t play
Game sucks now with new updates now they take away was the free way to gather cash now you have to buy turning game into credit card game now. Turn back the game you made it worse
New update
I’ve been playing this game a while. Many hours invested. Love it so far. Minus the new update. I liked having the items your own across the top when you opened your mission area. You could see what you had now you can’t. Now you have to open your items tab over and over to see what you have or click each quest Other than that. Good app
Should be 5 stars not 2 BUT
I have emailed the company about this issue, the game simply will not open. It gets to 12% loaded and done. I have to restart my phone every time i am going to play. How many times a day is that acceptable? 0 thats how many. Its a great game. Difficult but great. Amazing graphics.. but like seriously come on i have to restart my phone each time to play? Why have a email for support if you dont answer!?
About game
Hi the game is very interesting pictures are magnificent very hobby I like it very much thanks a lot.
Very fun
It’s a awesome game
Gameplay
Is the game doing an update?, last three days stuck on 12% when opening
Good game but not the events
I have to agree with @bluebirdandthorn the game is very good up until the events happen and you find yourself playing against teams that have 300 experience while your team some on 100 and others on 30 it’s impossible to advance so they win and then can advance even further. You need to find a way to have like versus like by having and average for teams.
It was fun
Why are you constantly changing the interface making this game less intuitive to play. I’m done at lvl 100.
Game unexpectedly shutting off after latest update. Again!!!
I enjoy playing this game and watching my cities grow. Riding along on the trains while enroute is really cool. Everything was working well lately. However once again, after the latest update the game is constantly reloading and has really affected the experience. And now it just shuts down in the middle of gameplay and I have to redo the tasks that were just completed or in the process of completing. Also the new card system will take some time to get used to but I think that part of the game will be okay.
Awesome game
Game is amazing, awesome models of trains, but the chances for a dupe engine is annoyingly high
Not loading
After the update the game stop loading at 49%
Game crashes
I like the game Im up to level 80 but since last update my game keeps crashing
Getting there
*UPDATE* Becoming unplayable. Everything miscalculating. Lost resources. Inaccurate calculations in app. Apparently now 30+13=27. In game competitions fun to play. But rewards not paid due to app errors and then no response from support. Less of a railroad game eventually and more of a turn resources into materials. No idea what they’ve done since the last update but the game can no longer add up or deduct accurately. Apparently making 120 items in the metal plant means you only get 100 into your inventory.
Having problems loading
The game worked for one day then tried to get on it the next day and it wouldn’t load past 12%. I deleted the app then redownloaded it and still won’t load.
Space event
I dont have it. Why not? Even on the App Store it is being promoted
Update
The update version of this game has completely ruined game playing. It’s no longer fun and it should’ve stayed the way it was. That version was never broken. Bad fix.
Fun until events start
I really enjoy the game - collecting and building resources galore but hate it when events start. Opponents aren’t fairly placed and often in the 300’s and will dominate the map within the first 12 hours. It ruins the fun of the game when other teams are clearly cheating or have levels over the maximum you can upgrade too.
Great Potential, but…
The game can be fun, but it is plagued by buggy features, and a developer that prioritizes everything but stable gameplay. It is gorgeous to look at. It is engaging. But. Bug, bug, bug. Features released for some but not all. Bugs that are released and then players are penalized for the bug. Updates fix one thing and then break another. You can play this game without spending money which is good - because this isn’t a game to spend money on yet.
Ugghhhh
Great game if it would stay running. It’ll just close out of nowhere and loose all your progress. Frustrating. Even tried it on pc and pc version just lags.
Trainman 2102
Love this game. I’m 67 and have always liked trains since I was a kid. it keeps my brain active by using different strategies to advance. It’s a great challenge I play at least 3-4 times a day. Thanks for a great game Looking forward to the next update
Y’all ruined it!
TWO updates ago, everything went downhill… this was my go-to game, but y’all nerfed it with all of these changes… I wish I could go back to before all this junk changes…. Boooo
Latest Update = 49% load and crash
The latest update has resulted in the game not loading. No longer playable. :(
Stop working
Keep giving me errors wouldn’t update
Game not loading
I’ve reinstalled the game three times and it won’t load. Its stuck on 12 percent, I’ve lost my profile because it won’t load and I had to reinstall it
