Transport Empire: Steam Tycoon for Android
This game is too frustrating. The policy changes on how to acquire parts was disastrous. To keep your ships going you need to save parts up to exchange for the required repair parts for 6 or more months. I stopped playing regularly because of this. Can't advance so what's the point. I no longer purchase engines or other things because it's a bad investment. If you want frustration at every turn go ahead and play.
One of the best game tnx a lot 4 developing such a great game guys hope u will be going better n better. ....one thing I must tell u ..plss dnt make this game worst by worst updates n ads n high rated purchases
I used to really like this game spent some money on it, but parts are relly hard and now i need city level 5 in fineville and i need 40k reputation which is ridiculous im not even close to that and i have no choice but to buy gold again to complete this mission. Im not going to spend anymore money on this game unfortunately going to have to uninstall
As other honest reviews have mentioned this is a fun game for awhile but it reaches a point where you cannot keep up with parts. You are either using parts to keep your trains running or trying to save parts to build more trains and other vehicles. You can't do both unless you spend money which of course like all these games increases as you progress. Too bad as I wanted to like this game. Lasted about a week.
Game looks promising and design is also good. But game control is very bad. After installation, while going through tutorial session itself game is getting hung. So I am loosing interest Pls work on game control.
This game is as visually stunning as it is fun to play. Great graphics throughout, fascinating backstories, engaging character intrigues, and old-school 'backstory short' videos... The Android strategic sim idea is pretty common now, but I feel that this one stands out above the others I've played on Android or other modern platforms and PC. The steampunk/Victorian and fantasy folklore style is pretty far out, interesting and fun. I am really glad I gave this game a shot!
Seems like a good game, but you need some serious patience to get through seemingly endless and repetitious tutotrial. My only complaint early on is that it does not let you just play the game until it has hammered in each function at least three times. So, yeah, seems like it is neat, but the tutorial is way too long.
The biggest problem is these parts you have to get. It is like the creater of this game is out for all your money and even if you buy parts with excellent parts, you still end up with junk you do not need. Great game BUT not a game I will put much effort into because of these annoying parts. They are silly and a waste of time. Fix this please or I will be finding another game to enjoy with less annoyances.
To reiterate what most people have said, whilst the game is a lot of fun with some impressive graphics, you don't have to get very far into it before the difficulty factor shoots up dramatically and you're forced to spend money else be extremely patient. I've spent money on this game, I bought a new train 'cuss I've enjoyed it so. I kinda wish I hadn't now. I'm all for buying extra bits to help the developer but refuse to be forced into transactions.
A great little time waster that you can take out and play for a few minutes. Go back a couple of hours later and set every thing up for the next couple of hours. Love the setting as well.
I just changed phones to the s8 and now i cant get past the load screen. Love the game but everytime i start it , it gets to the download and unpack and tells me that i have no internet connection.. which i do.. help plz
What is going on whenever I start the game it keep downloading new updates after finishing the updates game work fine but when we close the game and start again same updates starts to download it's irritating.
The game is ok as long as you don't need support.The customer support are rude and not helpful at all. Not sure if they understand English. They deleted all my progress and won't put it back
The game might be good BUT the tutorial it puts you through is so damned annoying & long it ending up not being worth the effort to suffer through just to be allowed to play. Please devs remove the long annoying tutorial system you have it might be worth pkaying all players need is basics not every step needs to be locked until your force fed through it.
I enjoy playing this game, but it takes a really long time to get anywhere without paying for things... Especially when you suddenly get dropped back to level 1 and the support people can't or won't fix it...
It's a fun game especially if you like trains and steamboats. However they did this update so everything is about parts. These parts take forever to accumulate so the majority of your trains and steamboats will need to be repaired for months, because you can't keep up with the parts to maintain them. In addition you use to be able to upgrade your trains example upgrade a Mogul to a Pacific now it's all about parts. So you'll have a few good locomotive that break down and you can't repair. It kinda sucks now
A really fun and fantastic looking game. But you quickly come to understand that the hunt for parts to upgrade and build is where the bottleneck for this game is. The number and availability of parts makes for long wait times in order to craft higher level parts and vehicles unless you choose to use money to purchase it. I do not fault the company for the process, but if you're looking to avoid spending money, you'll need a lot of patience. Watching the trains chug along is great though...
This game is very good no doubt. But 1) there r some error in graphic like constructing a tueanel. 3d become 2d. 2)everyday play bonus. U gud hav such a mind to create this game n i love to play hol day after every 1p to 20 min. But I dont get m everyday gift in time. E.g some people r 4rm America n some r 4rm US or any place 4 d world. There time n u time r not same. Plz fix this
Bad news first: you're going to get messages about how to trade your real money for fake money on a cell phone game. A lot of them. But that's par for the course. This game is actually very easy to play without spending a cent as long as you're patient. Add to that it's hella pretty and loaded with things to do. Controls are easy to pick up, too.
Unless you are willing to spend hundreds (thousands?) of dollars or play for hours a day for years, progress past beginning level play will be essentially non-existant. I saved spare parts by playing religiously for a week ... and was able to buy one upgrade (out of four) on one airship. A shame, because otherwise it was a fun game. I just am not going to devote my life or a pile of money to make any sort of real progress in the game.
Only been playing this for a day or so, I'm on Level 9 on Facebook, on my Macbook but only Level 3 on my Xperia Z Tablet. It doesn't want to, or can't(?) sync up between the two devices. There's no information available as to what to do for this issue, only details about syncing the game between the same devices! I sent in a ticket, earlier today, and am waiting for a response. I use the Xperia Z Tablet when out and about, it's a lot lighter and easier to carry with me when not at home, hence using it as well. Your help would be appreciated. I'm not paying (more) to get to the same level I'm at on my Macbook!
All mines consumed quick and lack of engineers, then make trains and boats become useless, then lost the fun of game. This is a transport game that players should focus on how to build a better transport empire, then the developer can maintain a number of active players to make money, right? Feels like a mine management game now. No fun anymore. Uninstalled.
I just downloaded the newest update. Trying to complete the 3 tutorials. The game freezes when I try the first. The 2nd worked. Now when I try the 3rd the game freezes says "transport empire is having difficulties with google play and to contact the developer. Using a LePan tablet. I have been playing this game for over a year. I enjoy the strategic play. This is the first time I've had problems. Hope you can help. But it's 8/26/2016 and you still haven't fixed the issue. You suggested I uninstall and reinstall.
The train seam to need to be repaired more and more frequently and getting enof parts to do so is getting harder and harder to keep up with!!!!!!!! I am getting parts as fast as you can in the game and I can't keep up. I like the game but trying to keep up with the parts problem has really messed this game up bad. Try to find another way to do it like they way it was before parts go back to that and make the game great agin!!
its a nice game. great graphic and all. but to really enjoy the game in respectable pace you have to spent something. I don't mind really, i purchase something before but this game looks like to empty my pocket or CC for this case. If it can be cheaper I do believe more people will spend something.
Been playing for couple months and have been hooked. After last couple updates you've made the payouts for the exclamation mark actions stingey.. now with the lastest update your now getting us to watch adverts even without paying out after?? That's so cheeky. Better sort that crap out.
I addicted with this game already...I brought some locomotive to my depot also...but after updated to new version...it's have too much ads inside even I pay money for sometime. Although the event missions in this game also have ads for taking items after completed watching. Please remove it.
Earlier I could earn enough silver to keep going, repair, buy new trains, buy new cities etc. Now can not even maintain trains, all silver gone, forget about opening new cities. Game play made much more difficult. Even ordinary part contract gives 4 basic and one ordinary part. Too random unexpected and slow
Takes way too long to upgrade. No clear instructions on game play. Gets boring since all you can do is go back and forth to gather goods. I will quit pretty soon since it takes so long.
Graphics are fantastic, I can watch those little trains for hours. The mechanism and order for upgrading mines, rails, trains etc is sufficiently complex to remain interesting, but you run into extremely slow progress very quickly. Managers are no longer a problem.
I love what you have done with this update. The big bonus is the part crates, they used to take so long to open but now it is quick. I seem to have an issue with the tutorial though, I can't do part 3. The screen stays dimmed and I can't tap on anything except the back button to close the game?????
Both improved and broken, basic parts no longer as scarce but now the elusive ropes and higher tiered parts are pretty rare. If you expect me to craft them, then you haven't really fixed anything since the next two tiers of parts are expensive to craft. It feels like your trying to corner me into paying premium gold for them. If the game starts locking up because of the parts situation I will just rate down and quit. Will not be bullied or strong armed
Having problems with playing the game offline.. It doesn't open if not connected to wifi but it's ok when connected.. This doesn't happened before and have been playing the game for almost 2 months now.. Need some help ASAP..
I played 1 day, no problems. Was loving the game. Day 2 it has problems with google play and now the game will not even load. Too many games for me to waste time waiting for fixes. 12 hours if its not fixed, its deleted.
Ok, one set of basic parts costs the same. But, why would I pay more and wait more for 3 sets of basics? 24 hours for 10 basic sets? It makes no sense! It only makes sense of you want the player to check the game less frequently, where's the logic? It made sense to pay and wait more for more advanced parts, but it's not possible now. And you can't buy a basics set anymore, if you need one urgently. The crystal contracts are much more expensive now as well. I've noticed the fixes though, and thanks for them.
Even when you select no notifications they still send you some .. it almost falls into spam law's if notifications are set off you should not get a message inviting you to play the game! That's why these are turned off ... send me invites to open game I will when I want to
When I start the game I t says some problems with Google play store and its not faster and sometimes it stucks. Please do necessary actions and improve this game.
First big fault, this app used up about 250mb of my monthly data the first time I used it. Why?????????????!!!!!! That was the last of my data for the month and there's still 15 days to go! Appallingly bad manners. And why not install to sd card? Once you get on, there are some gorgeous things about this game, the graphics are sublime, little trains and boats chuffing around, a bit small on my gs4 but still nice. It's just the data and the size of the program that spoil it
All timed games bores me, and to pay the cash for items to make it go faster annoys me. Guess that is why it is a freebie game. I do like the graphics and the challenges.
