Train Conductor World

I've enjoyed all the train conductor games. TC World is a promising game which does not scale. The individual train events are all across the board to the point of some requiring near simultaneous timing to complete. That is great fun & challenging. The downside to those extreme challenges & timing is that some people, such as my father, who would enjoy the challenge of track laying, would never be able to do that. A "slow" mode, winnable by the more elderly would have many model railroad eras playing this game! The true problem is that track segment delivery doesn't match the amount of time & effort you put into the game & the empire you create. I have thousands of unusable wooden tracks which I will never use. The tile trader is a waste of time making new track pieces. I would suggest iron tracks become the "given" track after some threshold, with the accompanying sprinkle of alloy tracks, and finally a mix of iron & alloy. This would make track laying much more fun. Ps: add some way to make bridges (over pass) on land for high-lines to get over complex trackage & to create express routes!!! Thanks for a great game!

Ever since I bought the ad remover it’s now a real game now, unplayable without it. The progression is slow but reasonable and a lot of content to unlock. I love the track design game on the world map, I wish there is a way to rotate a piece though, like if you have 4 identical pieces you can transform them into 1 with rotated direction. Or better yet, you can combine pieces into fork tracks if you 2 sets of 4. The grinder system is a bit too random and you don’t feel like you are in control. Also I have a small complain about the star system, it’s cool and challenging and offers tons of replayability but it has absolutely no reward whatsoever, should gives me a crate of appropriate rarity upon finishing a level with full star, some levels are really hard and require many tries but no reward in the end feels like a bummer. All in all a great 5$ game that will kill lots of my time, the core game is very smooth and interesting, just need a bit tweaking on the reward system.

Don’t believe promises that eventually the randomization process will reward you with the tiles you need. I’ve been playing for months and I’m still waiting for my “bad luck” to change and be rewarded with a tile I need. The alternative is to buy expensive packs of track that have a lot of pieces you don’t need and one or two that you do. The game is fun, but at this point repetitive as I patiently wait to win or swap for those three pieces of alloy straight track I need to add one more city. Then it will likely be months before I’m “lucky” enough to randomly get the pieces I need to add the next city. One star for being fun but overly expensive. Not once have I ever received a tile I needed in a swap. Alloy horizontal tiles are something you must buy at outrageous prices to advance and even then you won’t be able to purchase enough to advance with a single package. This game is only about gouging you for needed pieces. I don’t buy games and expect to spend a fortune to advance. I’m guessing it will cost well over $100 just to add all the cities. The game is definitely not worth that kind of money.

So the game does a few things right. It is engaging, each level (or city, if you will) adds some novel quirk. Beautifully drawn, (mostly) fluid gameplay, nice concept for getting more pieces of track to introduce new cities. So why the 2-star rating? They really overdo it with the advertising. Getting a “free” piece of track - a 30-second video. Fine, I get that. An “undo” - again, a video. Fine. But then at random points a video plays as well. Starting a level, opening track, whatever - every so often it just plays. Too much. Well, I hear you say, so pay up! Yeah, the no-ads option is $4.99. And sorry, but this is just not a $5 game. It’s a nice game, don’t get me wrong. But considering that they’re selling you track (and bonus “objectives” as well), it’s just not worth that much. I’d have paid 0.99 or probably even $1.99 in a heartbeat and enjoyed the game a lot more. But even then it isn’t worth $5. Especially being buggy - the app often applies my tap to the wrong train, which is both further from where I touched and which it made no sense to move. All in all, just not worth $5 - but there are enough ads to make clear that they *really* want you to pay up. Still a nice game. That I’m still playing it notwithstanding all of the above is something.

I remember playing the first two games a while ago but when I saw that there was a third I had to download it and I have to say I was not disappointed. This game is extremely addicting and fun, but I do have one negative thing to say though, some of the levels are a bit too difficult. The main reason is either I am unable to get the stars to the stations or there is just an overflow of trains. Maybe if the time stopping was longer and the trains were a bit less, this would be much appreciated and one more thing I am not saying the game is bad or anything like that I am just saying some levels are a bit too difficult please take this into notice as I love playing your games and love everything about them! Thanks!
