Synopsis:

This game is perfect opportunity to test, develop or improve the skills of future "Railroad Magnate". Everyone admires trains in the childhood and now, there is a great chance to build one's own railroad with multiple towns, factories, farms and everything for his/her own mini city. It is guaranteed to be entertaining fantasy land for everyone, who ever dreamed or admired the hidden beauty of trains!

Gameplay:

The game is all about trying to connect as many factories, farms and towns together by railroads. As you level up you are able to unlock new parts of the map to connect facilities and towns in that area to your towns. After playing the game for a while their will be railroads going in all directions connection everything. You can upgrade your production, shops, town halls, railroads, trains and academy's. A fun mini-game inside the game would be touching birds flying through the air for money. Their is always 1 or more in-game challenge available on the side for you to complete to earn bonus experience and coins. There is also a chest that opens for staying in the game and not exiting the app. After playing for along time you may experience some framerate problems because of how many moving objects are on your screen at one time. The game is extremely addictive for the first 15-25 levels. After that it takes a while to level up if you are not dedicating all your time to the game. You can also buy and place statues and monuments that will give you XP and coins or boost the price of items you can sell. These are very helpful when something does not sell for much or you want something to sell for a lot. When picking what your factories are to produce you can see how each thing is doing with its sales. For example if I was choosing what I wanted a farm to start producing the game will tell me Pigs are selling well at 34% while sheep prices are declining at -23%. This gives you a feeling as if you were investing in certain products at the stock market which I found really cool. I suggest you try to add as many friends as possible because it is almost necessary to be able to steadily play the game. Also having a lot of friends in the game helps you make a lot of free coins from visiting their towns and helping them. Not to mention you get a free gold coin for accepting friend requests. Overall the gameplay in this game is fantastic and one of the best railroad tycoons I've ever played.

Gameplay Rating: 9/10

Graphics:

The graphics in this game are amazing for a app. The trains and animals move around the map freely and never lag. The buildings all look unique. After playing this game for a long time and upgrading your facilities and tracks your map will be eye candy. Seeing your town go from old railroads and low budget towns to Golden railroads and massive towns is a awesome sight to behold. I think this game has some of the best graphics apps have to offer. Their are no rough edges and I have not spotted any glitches in the game at all.

Graphics Rating: 9/10

Examples:

Controls:

The controls are very simple because of this being a app. Basically just a point and touch control system. Touching a building brings up the details about it, the inventory and options for upgrading. Buying rails, trains and monuments is as easy as clicking the store icons with each of those things on them. The controls are perfect with the game and I have never found myself frustrated with anything with the control system.

Controls Rating: 10/10
