I don't understand why this game hasn't become popular. It's very well-crafted in every detail. I've read some negative comments, which are simply untrue. The developers have a great sense of humor. The mechanics work perfectly. It's a shooter combined with trading and management, and there are trains (hi Sheldon). The sound and music are impeccable. The graphics are excellent and pleasing to the eye. The map is large, and the DLC expands it after completing the campaign. The only downside is the unfixed bug in Louisville – don't speed up the time there, or the game will crash. I still come back to it after years because there's nothing better (only just as good). 10/10 I'd love to play the sequel or another game by the same developers!2 found this helpful
After 4,5h of playing I can't recommend this game. Even at the "baby" difficulty setting the game is very fast paced and gives you no peace. It is one of those nihilistic calculation games where you need to look if you have enough coal to reach the next city (this one thing can be "auto bought" though, but some cities have high prices for coal,), and you need to check how much your train can tow, and how much each carriage and passenger and their luggage and each cargo you buy weights, but alas if your train autobuys some coal on top of your calculations, prepare to have to leave one carriage to sit on the tracks (with passengers that need to be somewhere *fast*, as everything in this game), or to abandon cargo which also needs to be somewhere, and get you that -20 malus to a city and -2000usd penalty, (because coal cannot be unloaded). If the malus of failure is big enough, like -60, the city won't give your quests or passengers anymore, so you've pretty much lost the campaign there. Also if you're on a quest, you have *very limited* time to get to the destination, so everything needs to be *perfect*. Running two or three quests at a time will usually fail one or more of them if …2 found this helpful
Frustrating, poorly balanced. Too much back and forth between screens.1 found this helpful
Frustrating, poorly balanced. Too much back and forth between screens. There's a contract available at the Courthouse. Will it overload my locomotive ? Will I still have the speed to make it ? Got to go back to a previous screen to figure it out. At least early in the game, you can't possibly have enough strength to repel bandits without towing a big caboose, and your locomotive just can't handle it. The save system needs improvement. I'd prefer a save before each departure from each city, with an adjustable number of saves kept.1 found this helpful
The game is ok but it's impossible to progress in the campaign because the bandits attack non-stop without any markings on the road, there are even too many of them to repel the attack!! To make a profit you have to drive non-stop and monitor the prices to sell somewhere else, I played on normal as if I was playing on brutal XD1 found this helpful
Couldn't figure out what to do except lose money ... oh well.
