Pros and cons of Orient Express: The Train Simulator app for iPhone and iPad
Orient Express: The Train Simulator app good for
I have been a sim city fan for as long as I can remember, and this game is just as fun. Same idea, but with trains!
One of my favorite games BUT not being able to fix track after crash in a town is annoying. Not sure if its a glitch or attempt to add difficulty but please fix/change it. It does still crash a bit.
Its quite difficult game. First, you need figure it out, understand what youre supposed to do and how. But then youll see its fantastic! I failed to build a road from the very first, though I tried again and again (3 times) and I did it.
This game is very addicting. I like trains so this is my kind of game. It takes using your brain a little bit.
Really impressive game. I can play it for a very LONG time. My iPhone battery cant bear this (:
Orient Express is a hard game but due to the tutorial it becomes easier. So, use it. Actually, its very addictive and interesting. I like Construction mode best of all.
Some bad moments
This developer has been experimenting with monetizing this app for years and it has now become unplayable with the incredibly intrusive and constant stream of ads.
Sometimes it plays ads in the middle of your game WITHOUT PAUSING YOUR GAME, crashing your trains.
No longer fun. Thanks for nothing, devs.
This game crashes constantly!!!!! FIX IT OR REFUND MY MONEY!!
Keeps crashing as soon as you start to play dont buy it save your money they still havent fixed it. A piece of garbage.
One star because the game provides zero enjoyment and theres not enough description of game play to decide before buying.
Summary of game play: connect two CPU-set stations with track pieces. Direct traffic with switches & stop lights.
When the computer adds another station, connect it to existing track.
Comments: this is not railroad tycoon in any form. The track piece geometry makes it difficult and unenjoyable to connect stations. There is no commodity or passenger management. Micromanaging direction of train traffic is not enjoyable.
Ive been playing a similar but much better game for months. Try Rails by Belight Software to see what this game should be like.
Connect the two stations. No train ever signals to want to leave and then you just collect fines for not releasing the train that is ready to go until you lose. Useless.
