Railroad Empire for Android

I been only playing it maybe less then week and you can only have three trains if you wanted more you got to pay for them. As for building the tracks it going takes a long time with three trains. As I’m playing it now it takes a hour to haul a load and only build little by little track. Level 15 and still on steam engine that can only take 4 or 5 rail box’s. Another thing is went you go get another train it gave you the same engine over and over no new one but if you pay for it then you will get a better one.

i really enjoy this game. However, and this is a big part of why I’m even writing this review, the algorithm used in game for the “parts” needed to upgrade the engines in game is off. Common parts are suppose to “hit” 45% of the time. That is not my experience. In fact, the “rare” parts hit 45% of the time while the “common” parts hit at the rate of the rare parts. The algorithm is messed up according to the data I’ve been keeping. It’s not a smooth bell curve as it should be. I’ve worked for gaming companies and had long conversations with the head of programming RE: gaming algorithms. I was the forward face of the company who actually taught everyone else how to play on behalf of the company. The game is fun; I enjoy it. Alas, algorithms appear to be off. There should be a smooth bell curve for the parts, but there isn’t. Makes leveling up the engines and hence the trains slow (and costly if you purchase the parts cases which is actually what I’m complaining about … you purchase the case, game says 45% probability of landing on common parts; it’s not what’s happening for me.)

I really loved all the aspects in the unique atmosphere of this game except it's been a very misleading experience that there's only 102 level levels to be played after completing the first three regions all the other regions haven't been Developed yet So I thought this time I could just delete the whole game start over and maybe get all the extra engines that they didn't get the first time If you're able to get more regions than three, I'll be happy to upgrade you another two stars

Very similar gameplay as Train Station 2, which I had quit playing due to it becoming super repetitive and clearly focused on cash grabs rather than the gamer experience. This game, though, is beautiful to look at with great sound and cool historical references. I actually find it super relaxing to play.

The game crashing problem went away after the Christmas event ended and we went back to the regular game. The event software must have had a glitch in it. I hope that doesn’t reappear in future events.
