Transport Empire for Negative User Reviews
✓ Money sucking gameEach update is getting worst and worst. This game is much better when it was 1.0.Version: 2.2
✓ Poor up grade it all about buying goldPoor up grade as I've over 20 trains waiting on part and it looks geared up to making you buy gold but even when you do the parts are shocking.Version: 2.2
✓ Too SlowNot my type of game, played for half an hour and can already see this won’t be any fun. Having to wait an hour for a building to finish? I want to play the game now not in an hour. Should be called “wait for things empire”. If you love waiting a long time for trivial things to happen this is for you.Version: 3.0.89
✓ Like the graphicsI like the graphics on this game but just wish you could gain more resources more quickly. It takes ages to build them up..Version: 1.01
✓ Not impressed by "parts"Was a nice game slow pace but very nice, 2.0 update and addition of "parts" feels like a money grab, want to play? well unless you start paying for parts or top end trains your going to spend a lot of time looking at broken trains, etc. Even basic units burn through parts to fix. Debating deleting.Version: 2.0
✓ BugDepuis les 2 dernieres mises à jour , je ne recoit plus de charbon, donc je ne peux plus jouer, juste collecter.Version: 3.0.83
✓ Dead gameUpdate: despite the most recent updates, absolutely nothing has been added to the game. In fact, it appears some features/functions have been removed to keep the game iOS 14 compatible. No new content has been added in more than 4 years. ************** While the game has great graphics and an intriguing storyline, it appears the developer has stopped supporting iOS devices. Their Facebook page shows a lot of activity and updates, but none have been made available to mobile device users for several months. Entirely new features and adventures have been rolled out to Facebook players, but no one else. The only players getting the updates, including news, are those actually playing on Facebook. When I inquired about the next iOS update to their support staff I was told "No one but the devs know. The rest of us must wait and see". Hopefully there will be a new release soon, but that's not how it looks at this time..Version: 3.0.70
✓ Transport empireThe graphics are good and the story line i good as as well, but the repair costs on trains, carriages, steamships and airships are prohibitive and things need to be repaired constantly. Makes it extremely difficult to expand without spending huge amounts of money. So unless that is something you have no issue with I would not recommend getting this game..Version: 3.0.89
✓ Pay to play, all day!This game is totally skewed in the hopes you’ll spend real money to thrive. What a shame. I played it years ago and don’t recall it being that way. Also, in that time, I lost much of my progress. Don’t waste your time. UODATE: Most recently realized that time does not elapse if you’re not actively in the game! Ridiculous, as some tasks take up to 8 hours to complete! FIX THIS!.Version: 3.0.89
✓ BoredPlayed this religiously for weeks and hardly got anywhere. There’s no proper explanation on what some of the buildings do (the stock market for exp - said I could make money, didn’t say how). Can’t even move buildings already placed (I’d have had all factory’s together or made certain towns have multiple residential districts). To many things I don’t like so deleted..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Not like you care anywayThis game is a trap. In the beginning it seems fun, you can make decent progress in the story missions and upgrades. But once you hit a certain point, everything stands still (unless you’re willing to pay lots of real money). It takes weeks of playing non stop just for enough resources to make ONE upgrade in your cities. This game got really boring really quickly. Send trains out, come back in a couple of hours to collect, resend trains out. There’s no progress anymore and it sucks! What’s the point of playing if you can’t get anywhere? 10 springs for 1 rope, need three ropes for a new train, but can only get parts once every three hours and MAYBE you’ll get ONE spring. Things take way too long and I’ve grown bored. Too bad because this has the potential to be an excellent game, too bad the developers don’t listen to the players and make improvements. Uninstalling this one..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Unobtainable RequirementsThe resources needed to upgrade and advance are impossible to achieve. Unless you’re willing to spend a whole lot of money it would take years to advance past the early levels..Version: 3.0.89
✓ Recent UpdateBeen playing this game for a long time now. All cities are opened up and majority of warehouses, stations and ports have been upgraded to the maximum. However with no more new cities, this game has lost its appeal now and become quite boring. Maybe it’s now time to delete the game and try something far more interesting..Version: 3.0.89
✓ Sort the gameI would of rated the game 5 stars, but at the moment I can’t. I can not physically sit there with my iPad in my hands waiting for the contracts to finish. If I turned my iPad off the contracts won’t finish. So come on guys please sort the game out..Version: 3.0
✓ Starts well, turns into a bit of a grind.There are 2 elements to this: a resource capacity building game, and occasional cut scenes that add a narrative - mostly by asking you to do elements of resource building. But resouce producing buildings become depleted and so constantly require rebuilding, which is lame and frustrating. Also to rebuild them requires managers that are randomly spawned from completed productions, but not at a very high rate. After a building has been rebuilt a few times it needs two managers, to rebuild - but they don't spawn fast enough to sustain this, so the game grinds to a halt unless you spend money. Also, unlocking new areas requires so much cash you often can't do it, and missions sometimes require you to upgrade cities, which can't be done for days at a time, because it requires resources you don't have access to yet. Blah..Version: 1.03.4
✓ Fun for a few weeksIt’s fun for a bit. I bought the starter package to make things more quicker. Most games stop selling you in app purchases after you buy something. Not this one. It’s almost constant. The higher you go up in levels, the longer it takes to accomplish a mission. They would prefer you use the gold, that you must purchase with real money, to speed things up..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Transport EmpireGames is gods, but currently bugged and frozen in time. There is no easy way to contact developer unless you have twitter. Pls fix, stuck for 6 days.......Version: 1.03
✓ Time wasterTotal waste of time. Takes several minutes to load, then crashes after just 30-45 seconds of playing. Two more minutes to reload, and crash! Crash! Crash! Don't even bother to download this game..Version: 2.2
✓ Levelling up is way too longI am having no problems with crashes. But I am finding it increasingly frustrating with the amount of time it takes to level up. Upgrading buildings within the city gains no xp, small amounts can only be gained from doing contracts. The quests give you good amounts, but once past lvl 7 & 8, you can't really complete the next quest until lvl 10. At this rate it will be at least a month or two just grinding before I can complete the next quest. I agree with all the other comments about social networking. Games should be for the individual and not those who have to be "connected" all the time. Game Insight has a history of releasing potentially good games but always seem to fail due to their greed. To put it into perspective for myself, I don't mind spending some money on these games to say thanks to the developers, but they require you to spend more to get the most out of it than a PS4 game costs which took hundreds of people to develop and actually immerses you in their world. Time for a reality check here I think..Version: 1.01
✓ Love the gameplay, hate the bugsThis game is extremely addictive which in turn makes it extremely frustrating when it constantly crashes. It take 2 mins to load, and when it crashes 3 times within a minute of playing, I give up. Annoyingly addictive, but not enough to put up with the constant crashes. Worst part is, looking at other reviews, I'm not alone with the head thoughts,yet nothing has been done. Why would we pay for expensive in app purchases when the app keeps crashing? Time for a new game and it won't be one from this developer..Version: 1.13
✓ AlrightAs a railfan, I was looking for a game about trains like Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon, and from a technical standpoint this game is very deficient. The creators obviously DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, with small-yet-annoying grammatical errors and ZERO knowledge of US (or British) railroad terminology. For example, there is no such thing as an "open boxcar"; it's called a gondola. And the way basic parts combine to make advanced parts is just silly. On the positive side - good graphics and that you can get pretty far for free, I guess the other reviewers didn't have enough patience..Version: 2.2
✓ RencloughYou DON'T have to spend ANYTHING on this game if you are patient. It is not the sort of game to spend hours in continuous play, but a game to return to regularly. It is an excellent game in which you SLOWLY AND PATIENTLY build a transport empire. Hence the name. At higher levels you can run long contracts, some of which take 24 hrs to complete. If you want to be a prat and spend money speeding the contracts up, you can. Perhaps, if money is no problem to you, you can do this; but there's no sense in doing that and then moaning about it. I have been playing for 18 months and spend nothing. There are, however, some annoying features. The game runs very slowly on my iPad, for instance, but generally they are worth putting up with..Version: 2.0
✓ Used to be great! Ad server is bustedUsed to be a very enjoyable game. I paid some money to buy a few upgrades here and there, and recently anytime it says to watch an ad as part of the random events, it just goes to a black screen and locks up and you have to kill the game. That pulls our a chunk of the game play and bonuses. Very disappointing they orphaned one of the best titles in the genre..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Beware new versionI have to agree with the last 3 reviews I have seen. The game just wants your money, maintenance workers are automatically being turned off (really annoying) without telling you to make vehicles to go into disrepair and forcing you to buy parts and the further you progress the quicker you have to rebuild mines etc. Leave the game alone. Those who want to buy gold will, those who don't will just write reviews like this..Version: 2.2
✓ Improved?Used to love this game but have deleted it, too many waits for endless lists of parts and now sound notifications interfering with everything else on my iPad even when sounds are switched off, pain in the *****.Version: 2.2
✓ Crashes too oftenI like this game. This update got rid of the possibility of getting advanced parts and they are needed for repairs. It is impossible to get enough small parts to build the complex parts needed. It still crashes too often on iPad mini v1. A game crashing two minutes after it opens is just not acceptable. I hope they can fix the crashing issue and parts imbalance soon..Version: 2.2
✓ Does’t load since iOS 11I have installed the latest version which is supposed to fix the game for iOS 11 but it won’t load, screen is just black..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Promising start but now disappointedStarted off ok. Am now halfway through level 10 but now can't progress because I built the wrong thing in a city and can't delete anything. Also now only able to use one coal mine at a time due to no managers so takes very long time to accumulate resources. Needs a major upgrade..Version: 1.01
✓ Was going wellI realy like this game but in the last few days, time doesnt seem to pass while you are not on the game, start a 45 min contract, go to bed, come back in the morning and still 45 mins remaining. Hope this gets fixed soon or there is no point having the game which would be a shame..Version: 3.0
✓ Won't go past loading screen :(Loading bar gets to 100% but then nothing happens.Version: 1.01
✓ A glitch?Is anyone else having the same glitch as me? I have a message saying to 'Complete a contract to process ore in Fineville'. The only problem is, there is no factory in Fineville and I can't choose to build one from the list of buildings. Very annoying!.Version: 1.13
✓ Money. Not for fun.I’m playing for years, and I’m planning to do it occasionally since they make it harder and harder to complete tasks, and the only possible way to do it in acceptable time is to spend money. They do everything to charge our money, but not to make the playing enjoyable..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Pushy game, I hate pushy games!I can't pass the tutorial simply because it won't let me wait the 15mins for a building to complete without spending in game money to speed it up, if I want to wait then let me wait. But in this case the clock is not even counting down, its stuck unless I choose to speed it up. What a dumb way to convince someone to play a game. It has potential but as other Game Insight games, you hit the wall too early in the game and pretty much give up. I can't stand pushy developers. Game Insight, relax a little!.Version: 1.01
✓ Gets better and betterAt first I felt like the graphics were too small to focus on and the instructions were coming at me too often, but now that I’ve got a handle on things it’s really fun! I would have given it four or five stars except the women’s costumes are oversexualized. It bothers me because the men are dressed historically and then the women are fantasy flavours, very distasteful..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Great game...but...A real pity that this is the perfect example of greed ruining a good concept. Every update seems designed to lengthen an already tedious procedural and repetitive game by deliberately changing the goals, time or resources required to progress. Good things: 1. Beautiful graphics, really interesting map and attention to detail. 2. Great concept overall. 3. Storyline is good, and at least adds some colour to otherwise a rather repetitive sequential resource gathering game. Minor irritations: 1. Inconsistent benefits from upgrading contracts ie. what it costs to initiate vs returns. 2. Cant seem to upgrade carriages at all, and selling anything has no relation to the time it has been owned - 5mins or 2weeks its the same (a very small amount). 3. Some of the in-game scripts make no grammatical sense, perhaps a translator getting bored? Really bad / show-stopping frustrations: 1. Increasingly laggy interface with every update - too many cute and pointless graphics? 2. Mine managers. Clearly the core of the money-making angle and poorly thought-through (from the gamers point of view - excellent from a financial earning point of view). Sadly this really grinds the game to a halt especially when now need 2-3 managers for a single mine. 3. Purchasing interface is poorly designed and a very minor slip of the finger due to buggy laggy interface can see you with a pointless purchase very easily. Increasingly thinking I wont bother any more..Version: 1.07.15
✓ Time problemsDownloaded the game to see how things changed with the 3.X version and discovered that the contract time only goes down when the game is open. Their website provides very little information and no opportunity to save /restore progress..Version: 3.0
✓ Overly complicated and unenjoyableAs usual GI has overthought what it takes for people to enjoy a game. I have played many much simpler games and had so much fun that I had to buy as they were not continually pressuring me, so I could advance. By the time you get to level 5 you are continually hit with ongoing costs on your resources that it severly affects progress. I have been asked to Build the Warehouse which entails gaining massive amount of Popularity that I have spent the best part of 2 days only getting 10% of what is needed, making the game extremely tedious and boring trying to get resources that keep on getting dwindled - A FORCE TACTIC BY GI TO MAKE YOU PURCHASE. If you want to enjoy a game, steer away from Game Insight..Version: 2.2.10
✓ DeceptiveI have been playing this game for months and I'm at level 32, the graphics are great as well as the story line but in order to advance there are many things that need to be done as you play along, in order to keep things running you have to build mines, quarries, warehouses, towns and many other things to keep up on supply and demand, this supply is used to maintain everything, not only does it take a long time to get the maximum amount, you have to use these resources to repair the buildings, trains, tracks and make upgrades as well as making parts, everything breaks down and must be rebuilt quite often using more resources that takes more time to make because you have used all the supplies from that source and you have to start from scratch which also comes at a cost of silver and or gold which is the main purchase item, if you want to advance quickly-it will cost you dearly. I liked it until now because I am going no where fast, it is no longer fun and is getting annoying because of the cost of supplies to maintain everything is just ridiculous. Also every time you start an operation the screen zooms in, very annoying. I would like to see lower costs of recourses to maintain, build, craft and make upgrades and expansions. Ta ta for now..Version: 2.2
✓ Just another 'pay to speed up' formatJust wants to you spend coin to speed up every little thing. So hard to find a good time-lapse, goal-oriented sim like the old Railroad a Tycoon. And the 'guides'?! So demeaning to women. Bulging cleavage and thongs? Please. Not what I come to a game to find, and not something I'm willing to put up with..Version: 2.2.10
✓ IAP Ruins a good gameI have been playing for 2 weeks and have made some IAPs to support the game. However now my game has ground to a halt because of the way the mine system is structured. You need a manager for a mine. You need to buy one, or find one (good luck with that). Even if you buy one, the mine's resources run out after a couple of days, you have to sell the mine, then your manager leaves! It seems they just don't want anyone to progress in the game. I now have 6 mines that need managers at 25 gold bars each. Even that would be ok if you could somehow earn gold bars, but the only way to get gold is to level up and you can't do that without mines - catch 22. Very disappointed with this..Version: 1.03.4
✓ FrustratingAlright game but have lost my patience with it! don't ever receive mangers with out paying for them. Also can't move on because I got a quest for an area that requires lvl16 and 13 and I'm lvl 8. Also had to restart from scratch when my quests wouldn't complete even when I had finished the tasks. time to delete i say.Version: 1.04.06
✓ SirIf you like agro in your life then this is the game for you!! You spend a minute loading the game, then less than five minutes playing the game and it shuts itself down. Another minute reloading the game and then it shuts down again. Save yourself the time, aggravation and money and don't purchase this game..Version: 2.2
✓ OkIt's ok.Version: 2.2
✓ BoringBoring.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Not impressedWhen I first started playing this game the tasks were time consuming but were able to accomplish. After not playing for a year i started fresh and found that there are even more steps now that have really frustrated me. It has become a game about making money to advance the most simplistic task because you don't have enough parts. Come on guys. Too much run around and endless wastes of time..Version: 2.2
✓ Great game but too slowOverall the game has kept interested for almost 3 weeks, but now my interest is wearing thin. You either have to spend a lot of real money on this or wait days and days to complete the tasks that you are set. The managers you need in game to run your various mines are very thin on the ground in general and that is where more money or a huge time investment comes in. The best way to play this is to make sure you have friends on Facebook to play as well so to be your managers for you when you need them. Transport Empire has huge potential but it needs to help its players a lot more and stop trying to think of making a load of money, I am prepared to pay money but not every single day..Version: 1.03.4
✓ Not bad for a freemiumIs a bit linear but then could be quite confusing otherwise, at least initially. Load times are sloooowwww. Selection can be a bit hit and miss especially going after the timed events. And you can't complete some tasks cause you won't be accessing areas needed for many levels ahead. But one really good thing is that you can carry out multiple tasks at same time. Unlike other freemium games that only let you do a couple of tasks at a time unless you pay for more helpers this one uses resources and time only to limit activity. So although still involves waiting at least your patience is rewarded with big jumps forward..Version: 1.01
✓ Requires real world purchasesDon't be tricked - this game requires in-app purchases. By the time you're ready to unlock your fourth territory (which only takes a couple of days) you have to lay out a ton of gold which requires real world cash. Sure, you could get a little gold from the daily giveaways but you only get gold once in 90 days. Even the ads which you watch which are supposed to give gold only give gold about 10% of the time. It's a shame, this would be a much better game if they weren't so overtly greedy..Version: 2.2
✓ ProgressHad app but removed to make space now re downloaded but not got progress back.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Useless update.The new update has done nothing to speed the game along. The constant waiting for parts to appear is a nightmare. I now have 11 trains all waiting for the same part. This game could be brilliant if the people weren't so money hungry to slow the game right down to having to purchase money/gold and what's worse if do spend your money you can't buy the relevant items you need to push the game on. I've written reviews before but no one takes any notice. For people that are looking to start a new game don't do it. It's a waste of time and money. Look for something else..Version: 2.2
✓ Fun but expensiveI am enjoying this game and have paid an appropriate amount to continue it, however after two months of playing I now face having to pay $20 minimum in order to keep playing to recharge my mines, if I don't I can not really proceed. This is not right..Version: 1.04.06
✓ 2.0 a disappointing rip-offSave your money. They make the equipment break down and you need parts to repair it that cost so much you can't open new areas to enjoy the game's full potential because you have no coins to buy the territory. Spend your time and money elsewhere... unless you like being ripped off..Version: 2.1
✓ MathSo this developer doesn’t understand economics for a game that’s runs on economics. At lvl 21 you still can produce the resources to open lvl 18. When you contact “tech support” they don’t understand the math. This is a game I’ve enjoyed on tv nights buy I’m not going to spend money to open parts of the game 3 lvls below where I’m at. I would imagine if I wanted to spend hundreds of dollars buying gold bars this game would be better. They need a better understanding of XP.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Interesting but limited and ultimately not worth itStarted well, with nice concepts and some good graphics, although I would like to have a greater zoom to see the trains in more detail. Then it accelerates well into the new regions of the world. Unfortunately, as many other reviewers have mentioned, the consumption of managers makes it necessary to spend real money just to stay in the game, which given the limited decision making and strategy options available just isn't worth it. I have just reached level 20 which allows a new region to be opened up for a ridiculous 380 gold or some crazy amount of silver 80 million or so, only to get access to more resources that will need even more managers. Consequently I am ignoring this region, and can see me looking for a new game soon after completing the colossus. My advice to the makers: stop the consumption of managers by always recycling them when a resource is exhausted - this is more realistic, managers don't die when their mine runs out! Increase the drop rate of new managers especially for the bigger contracts. Allow more interaction with the characters, who by the way are beautifully drawn. Fix the graphics so that smoke does not leak through the tunnel..Version: 1.03.4
✓ Huh? What? Why? Oh... MONEY REQUIRED!I'm a fairly smart guy, degrees and I'm fairly technical. But this game threw me a curve ball! I couldn't figure out how to play it! You can't do this or that because you have to do a "quest" first. Can't do anything because of one thing or another, so I just kept pushing buttons and checking stuff out. I kept ending up at the "buy gold" screen. I'm not opposed to spending money on a game... If I like it. But this is the FIRST game I've ever played that looked free but then wouldn't let you start playing without spending real money. Most let you start,meet you interested, and then you spend money. At first I was thinking now way! But yes, you must buy gold with real money to play. That said, what I could see looks wonderful! The game has great graphics, pretty scenes. And looks like it could be fun. Maybe I should have played more instead of deleting the game after a few hours (several attempts on different days), maybe I should have paid money to check it out. I guess I'll never know. I just felt cheated, or tricked. Why don't they just charge .99¢ and give you a started pack of gold? I don't know. But y'all should know that the game isn't free. You can't play it at all for free. Period..Version: 2.2
✓ Fun but expensiveI really enjoy the city building side of the game it's quite challenging getting the resources. I am not going to pay to purchase trains or gold etc I want to see if you can finish the game without it, my feeling is that you might but it will take a lot of perseverance. I understand the developers need to be paid for the game eventually but I'd rather buy the app or have the option to upgrade to a paid version than pay as you go. I would like to see more fun side quests like there where in the beginning, at the moment on level 12 it's quite boring. On the whole fun but I'm wondering how long before I get stuck and can't finish the game without buying something..Version: 1.03.4
✓ 2.0 upgradeNo longer enjoy playing the game; very frustrating to say the least. To start with change the repairing process back to the way it was..Version: 2.0
✓ Do NOT expect quality games here.This game is much the same as the rest of the games by the same company, not worth starting. Many of the bugs seem to be purposely engineered to make players spend more money. Events rarely show up with enough time left to complete them even with in game purchases. I have played a couple of their games for a long time hoping issues would get resolved but there has not been any resolution(s) or real fixes in the three odd years I have played their games..Version: 2.2.10
✓ It’s turning into a slog.The game is fun, but the story progression has slowed to a crawl. Acquiring parts takes too long, and is making the rest of the game rather boring. What is the point of upgrading my engines and resources if the gameplay just gets slower from this point onward? Also, I’ve upgraded all of the clay pits, but I keep receiving clay pit experts from the airship contracts. I would appreciate an option for retraining my experts to solve that problem..Version: 3.0.89
✓ Have pay cash for goldWhy when get leave 9 you got start spending £ note to move on in the game It moment I got 3 mines to up grade and 4-5 bit track I can’t up grade till I pay with gold I need about 12 bits gold to mover on in game to keep making mining I not happy about this when if a fun free game Think I be leaving the game Now as not paying to play This game I will be putting a mail on your Review page.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Not what I was looking forI guess somewhere in the description I was mislead into believing this is a re-imagining of railroad tycoon. Don't know how that happened. This isn't railroad tycoon at all, routes are pre set and there seems to be only one map.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Forces you to connect to facebook or payI previously rated the game a 2 star, now it's become a 1. When your mines resources get exhausted it collapses and you need to build a new one; I can understand upgrading the whole mine to level 4 again but I don't understand what happens to the manager. The only way to get a manager is to buy one or connect to facebook or hope to find one which is extremely rare. Make it so the managers can transfer to newly built resource bases..Version: 1.01
✓ Total rubbishI was level 7 in the game and I hadn't done a single thing on my own! The game keeps making you do things in order and you can't progress without following their storyline and it's boring as hell. All I did, the entire time I played, was just randomly click things that had a green arrow on them. I didn't learn how to play and there was a heap of cut scenes that didn't seem to have any point. It looks super complicated, and I don't know how long you need to play until you can choose what to build and upgrade or which contacts to sign on your own, but I'm not wasting anymore time on it. It's just awful..Version: 2.2
✓ New update is awefulDon't update!!!! Totally ruined the game with this new recent cash grab!!! Please return it to normal. The people have spoken!!!.Version: 1.13.13
✓ It’s all over?The developers don’t seem to list this game on their site, so I have to assume it is no longer maintained. The last update was over 2 years ago. Pity!.Version: 2.2.10
✓ Great game initially, given up on it until next patch.The game seems to have entered an impossible loop (catch 22), not playing again until patched. Can,t upgrade without crystals and can,t upgrade to airport until I have upgraded to level 10. I like the game a lot, but the whole coal thing, especially early on (I,m hoping it's just early on), is really far too repetitive. Maybe I have missed something, I know you can upgrade your wagons to hold more, but it takes forever to jump through all the hoops to get there. Had it not been for this I would have given 5 stars. I have now got past the annoying coal bit, have upgraded my wagons and can create contracts for the coal and it has transformed the game. So 5 stars now. One tip I would give is follow the tutorial closely and it will help you cope with the respective early game. Down to three stars now I seem to be stuck with the game saying I cannot build a road between towns without there being a district in it, i do have that district in every town. I also cannot mine crystals to upgrade my administration it points to an area I have not reached yet..Version: 1.01
✓ Prepare to give up your life for this gameTakes so long to level up. At this rate it will be another month to go from 3-4. Plus I've got the faster trains and now one of the missions is to have 3 slow trains... Why?! Now I have to sell the fast trains and buy the slow ones to pass the mission. There is no way to get more space for trains because it is impossible to upgrade the station without gems. Gems which cannot be bought and are presumably available in level 7....Version: 1.01
✓ Stop making it worse! It was great...History: had this game for 4-5 years, maybe longer, and I’ve almost unlocked everything as F2P. Hundreds of hours micromanaging over thousands of sessions. This is the greatest transport/train/delivery mobile game I’ve ever played. But... Today: The last 2 updates (which I hoped would reinvigorate the game since it had been such a long time since the last one) brought game quality way down, first with constant crashes during loading, and now the contract manager is terribly inconvenient and illogical. Once the game loads, it runs well usually, but starting it a 50/50 situation. As an example of the contract manager issues, sorting by “Time Left” for a few of my current contracts shows restarts as 6h36m, 2h01m, 1h43m, 5h56m (in that order) then shows the remaining completed and running contracts combined, listed by time duration, shortest to longest. It’s a big pain in the neck to watch the contracts jump around and search for them in this new crazy order. If you can explain the new order and want to keep it, fine, but please call it something else (maybe “Sorting Roulette”?) and give us back the previous sorting, which kept things that were complete and ready for restarts together. Overall, I’ve spent lots of time on this game, including watching hundreds/thousands of ads, because it’s been a great, almost always. Please keep that going and my review rating stars will go back up. Cheers..Version: 3.0.70
✓ Still need fairer partsI still don't seem to be getting to many Complex parts or Top-Grade parts even though I'm selecting those contracts. I only seem to be get parts mainly from Nut to Value. I would hope & expect if I selected: Set of Basic Parts to get Nut, Stud, Screw, Spring &/or Cylinder; Set of Ordinary Parts to get Link, Cogwheel, Rope, Piston &/or Value; Set of Complex Parts to get Crankshaft, Gearing, Chain, Pump &/or Thermostat; Set of Top-Grade Parts to get Chainwheel, Reducer, Turbine, Longeron &/or Superheater..Version: 2.0.22
✓ Okay, but frustrating.I’m enjoying the game. I’ve always enjoyed this style of sim. A couple of things annoy me though. Aside from getting one gold bar at a time playing the random adventures, the only way to get gold is through in-app purchases. There also seems to be a bug with the city screen. The menus at the bottom lock out, and I can’t get back to the map view. I hope this gets fixed in an update soon..Version: 1.01
✓ Needs work.First of all, I can't get the update at all. IOS 8 update won't download at all. Second, when you tap on a building and all the money and stuff comes out, if there is a character dialogue, all the earnings disappear. Third is that watching the tiny trains crawl across the map is way too boring. So possibly add a camera option where you can zoom in on a locomotive, boat or airship and get a 3d view of that vehicle as it travels. Back to the point. Fourth and final is that icons are way to small for IPod and IPhone users. It has thrown my sense of perspective off now!.Version: 1.04
✓ Latest update buggy. Slow progress without £££First off, something that may be fixed in a future update, since the last one this app has become unusably unstable. Keeps quitting for no reason, losing the last few actions. And launching the app isn't that quick, so getting back to where you where is tedious. The thing that won't get fixed is the £££. This app is just too greedy. Progress is almost impossible without spending, and spending doesn't buy you that much progress anyway. It started off ok, but soon gets into a mundane grind to earn ridiculous levels of resources to do anything. The balance in this game is just not there..Version: 1.13
✓ No supportWell I am an iOS user... no support available in English in app, unable to even make the purchases anyways and I assume this is from the lack of iOS support now, but can’t even communicate with customer support to resolve the issue or verify... Well good luck, off to find another app..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Okay gameFun game, much improved. It's strange, the resource metrics are backwards though. In most games, the shorter the resource collection duration, the better the return rate. But in this game the longer the duration the better the yield. For example, for the same coal payment, brick yields 3x more when set for hours rather than minutes. In other words, players are encouraged not to play this game. If you want to progress in the game, you'll get there faster by not playing (just set collections and leave). Seems backwards to me. Game logic/design needs some rethinking..Version: 2.2
✓ Wreckage YardThis update does not integrate with the rest of the game at all. Your transport empire now becomes a broken down wreckage yard that you can't afford to repair..Version: 2.0
✓ Poor PerformanceEvery time we get an upgrade something else goes wrong. My requests for help from my friends don't work very often and my daily gifts rarely work. The game doesn't give out mine managers when your mines becomes exhausted so it looks like the developers are trying to force your hand and get you to spend real money. I would rather delete the game and play something else. It's a good little game when it works properly but that is so rare it's not worth downloading it..Version: 1.06.26
✓ So far so goodJust started .. Graphics good.Version: 1.01
✓ Very disappointingI should be giving this 5 stars, not the 1 star that I am...I was loving this game. I have made one in-app purchase which I was happy to make because I felt the game was worth it. I am on level 34. Or should I say, I WAS on level 34. Opened the game today and it's gone. I'm back on level 1. All that time and money wasted. Very disappointed. Addition: I managed to retrieve an older version of my game from my cloud and continue from there. Since then I have played my way up to level 39...only for the game to restart back at level 1 AGAIN. I play offline and as a result my progress is not often saved to my cloud. Yes I have been able to restore it again but I have still lost several weeks worth of play, for the SECOND TIME. Plus I lost one of my premium trains as a result. NOT HAPPY. I'm actually considering deleting it now..Version: 1.12.9
✓ Greedy $$$$This game is boring as hell. Same old, same old. Quest to build two new engines, need heaps of parts that are never showing up. Not enough basic parts to make all the more advanced parts. There are up to five levels of parts with each successive level requiring parts from the previous level. Used to have parts contracts at craft shop that meant the longer contracts would yield higher value parts. Ha! Now the shortest contract 1hr costs $1000 silver for one lot of five basic parts. Go to a higher contract, (developers of this game can't do math) spend five times the $$ and five times as long and only get three lots of basic parts. It has been two months now of continuous playing and I cannot Aquire sufficient parts to complete a quest to build two Gladstone engines as I need the parts to keep my existing fleet in operation. Have now given up on this game it has taken me nearly two years of playing to make it to level 33. Cost for expansion are ludicrously outrageous, far too high.Version: 2.2.10
✓ An excellent game, spoiled by developers greedI really like this game. The gameplay is good, as are the back story and the graphics. So why only one star? The problem, as has been explained in many other reviews, is to do with the availability of managers. These are needed to exploit the resources which, in turn, enable you to advance through the game. The company say that they acknowledge the problem - which has been outstanding for some months now and are trying to fix it. The cynic in me believes they would try much harder if they were not making money from this 'flaw'! I do not begrudge the developers a fair living but as others have said, this is now beyond a joke. Most games of this nature require you to spend real money to progress quickly through a game , but allow you to progress, even if more slowly, without in-app purchases. Not so here... An addendum: something strange is happening here. I reviewed this game and gave it one star - yet it now shows as two. This company is very, very, intolerant of any criticism, a very significant number of critical posts get deleted from their in-house forum. I had assumed that they couldn't influence any review posted here: but now I wonder. How does one star suddenly become two?.Version: 1.03.4
✓ Was fun till I realized it’s cheating!!I’ve throughly enjoyed this game until now. 3 people in my family play Transport Empire but NO ONE can make the support work at all. It never loads and mine is not in English, but another language. That’s ridiculous!! 😡 I can’t communicate about problems or suggestions and I have no way of fixing this stuff. I’m so mad!!! My current problem is I have 5 coal mines and 16 coal mine managers. But when I try to upgrade a mine with managers it tells me I don’t even have 1!!! That I need 10 more managers to do it. My husband’s game is the same so this isn’t some fluke, the games is cheating! All the upgrades I’ve done to get more managers was a waist and worthless since I can’t use them. And because I can’t use Support and contact you, I just fume. FIX SUPPORT!!! AND FIX THE GAME!! I’ll take down/update my review when it problem has been solved..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Pretty and disappointing gameplayThe game is simple enough, mine resources and build things then wait. I've been stuck on the same level for three weeks because I'm stuck waiting to get over level 10. The only way to do that effectively is by the quests but I am unable to progress because I need to be level 10 to get the resources for that level. I am therefore stuck doing the sub tasks which reward 50xp a time. Hence being stuck for three weeks. The pain continues. Pretty game, not great without app purchases. Poor writing and some names and items aren't named the same. A quest asks you to buy 'train A' you buy train A when it actually meant train B. poor written instructions. I doubt I'll play for much longer..Version: 1.02
✓ Doesn’t WorkI played this game a couple times and got rid of it because I needed space on my phone. When I finally got more space, I downloaded it again. Now I can’t play it. It says that I need to connect to internet, meanwhile I’m standing right next to my router, connected with at least 3 bars of service..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Amazing update but missing main thingsThe update is amazing, you added new stuff, made it more fun, made it easier to get managers supposedly however you still need too much silver or gold to open a plot of land, i personally stopped opening plots of land without cities and I have to because I need level 6 of fineville and the land needed cost 380 gold (£10) which is wayy too much... Secondly, just completely remove managers, I dont mind paying 1000 gold to just take out managers once and for all, just have all my mines activated, using all 30 locomotives i have rather than just 10 and no steamships because boat resources are low and expensive. Im disgusted seeing soo many question marks over my mines rather than them activated. Changes: 1) Less gold cost, not more than £3 per land and silver cost shouldnt exceed 1 million silver. Allow resources to buy land 2 remove managers.Version: 1.04
✓ 2.2 Has HUGE glitchI downloaded the newest update 2.2 and when I try and do the quest to learn about the new maintenance men, the game freezes on the trains screen and completely locks the game up. It's sad when an update can't even get past its first most basic quest..Version: 2.2
✓ Transport EmpireThis game is the most expensive game you will ever play. It is clear that corporate greed has made its way to the gaming industry..Version: 2.0.20
✓ Manque de générositéCe jeu va vous demander d’hypothéquer votre maison si non il n’y a rien a faire tout coûte trop cher il faut toujours acheter avec l’or qui coute réellement cher. Le jeu est très gourmant demande beaucoup de matériaux, dommage les graphismes sont bien fait..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Used to be greatVery interesting at the beginning. Different then other games, sophisticated, strategic, fun... But when you get used to it you alway lack Ingénieurs ... you start to pay, it is worth it, but rapidly you realize that you would have to pay a fortune constantly. Sorry I will move to a game that I will pay for knowing that it is reasonable..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Enjoyable Game But Flawed!I have been playing this game now for about 20 days and gave progressed to lvl13 and have now ground to a halt! As mentioned in all the other reviews there is a serious problem with the lack of mine managers unless you want to pay real money. I have only 1 out of 5 coal mines operational and that only works because the last mine to expire didn't need a manager to renew. I play a few other games and do not mind paying real money to allow me to progress faster but this game would need you to pay real money nearly every day to keep the mines with managers. For example I currently need 5 managers at 25 gold per manager that is £2.99 just for managers that would kart about a day or two and then they disappear! This could be a great game but I will not play a game that virtually forces me to pay money yo play regularly! Also as it will not sync between iPhone and iPad it means even if I wanted to I cannot buy gold on my (work) iPhone as the in app purchasing is disabled. Shame a good fame has been let down either by greed or poor software..Version: 1.03.4
✓ DisappointedFriends told me to try this game. Seeing all these consistent 1 star reviews following the recent update has made me decide to delete it. Consistent complaints of the real money costs to keep the game going. While I don't mind spending money for an upgrade or cool thing here and there, I am not interested in a game requiring dollars to be invested for basic play. Sounds like someone made a bad call at the game company. Good luck!.Version: 2.0
✓ Watch screenI get a blocked train, which then asks me to watch an ad. When I click on it to watch the ad, it just goes black, but I can hear the trains. I can not get out of the black screen and have to reboot my iPad to clear it. Happened twice so far in 2 minutes..Version: 2.1
✓ Money pitThis game will do anything it can to bleed you dry. You use gold, which if like me you are foolish enough to buy, will disappear in no time paying for managers for your sites and mines. The developers have very cleverly introduced a nice little earner to this game, after you use your gold, which remember you have paid for with your cash, to buy your managers, they then take them away. Today 75% of the sites I had close! lost their managers! disappeared into the ether. Gone, shuffled off this mortal coil. They ROBBED ME. Have you got it yet. I am not suggesting you shouldn't play the game, just that perhaps keep your money firmly in your pocket. Enjoy.Version: 1.03.4
✓ Content refuses to downloadI downloaded the game, but was never able to get much past the starting video because the game refuses to download the content. It downloads some quick stuff in a second or so, but then gets to 23 or so larger assets and errors out. Someone is not minding the store here..Version: 2.2.10
✓ Complicated, expensive and crashes all the timeThe length of the tutorial belies the over-complexity of this game. And once you get through it and have more than just the four routes running at a time, performance takes a huge hit. It's odd that a game about transport hasn't paid attention to crashes. They have, though, put a lot of work into the in-app-purchases which you pretty much need to get past level 8 without grinding for days..Version: 1.03.4
✓ 3.0 update massively broke balanceContract length used to be based on real time: if you set up a contract that would take 12 hours it would be done in 12 hours and you could go to bed or do something else and 12 hours later it would be done. Now a 12 hour contract is 12 hour of playing the game: if you leave the app, your phone goes to sleep, you get a phone call, (or your phone battery can’t play for 12 hours!) the contract will take much longer... That sort of logic would be fine if contract lengths were measured in minutes, but when you consider that the shortest contract at a workshop is an hour, and a good locomotive uses thousands of parts, anyone who has a job or does anything with their phone other than play this game is going to find it far too “slow” to bother with..Version: 3.0
✓ Fun but ends up expensiveThis was a fun game at first but as you expand it ends up costing too much $. The bugs were also very frustrating & I almost didn't come back. I have decided not to spend any more $ on this game since the bugs were fixed & currently have most of my mines without managers & inoperable.Version: 1.03.4
✓ Grand gagnant de la palme du "plantage"Je ne sais pas si c'est seulement sur le ipad2, mais ce jeu bat tous les records de plantage, surtout quand on doit se taper leur pub. J'évite de mettre de l'argent sur un jeu qui plante continuellement..Version: 2.0
✓ DisappointedWell I pushed on to level 20 at some expense only to find the game becoming totally glitchy. I have pop ups offering in game discount purchases in Cyrillic script, pop ups are unresponsive and when finally they are moved off screen game play for the current session is not saved. I give up. Very disappointed as I invested quite a lot of dollars in getting this far. Seems greed got the better of these developers..Version: 1.03
✓ Bait and SwitchHorrible game. Fraud. Even with the earliest quests, the criteria for completion keeps changing blindly. You complete the requirement for a quest, more requirements added without completion. If you hate your money, it might be fun. Will never download another product from this team..Version: 2.2
✓ Fix partsThe balance of parts is still wrong. There is no reason why I should have 237 screws and no cylinders. If you're going to make something required for every upgrade and repair, make it more common in the parts boxes. In a proper economy I'd have some way to get rid of all these useless parts, either selling or melting back down; as it is I am wasting all my resources on things I don't need..Version: 2.0.22
