I absolutely love the gameplay of old games! This is a great port! There is one kind of annoying bug, where busses, and trains seem to get lost, and never find the station. However, if you make simple routes, it works great. I love the attention to detail that you don't find as much on mobile games these days, like how drivers will switch lanes and pass a broken down truck, instead of just driving through it like most games. There seems to be many hours of gameplay. I'd definitely recommend it!
Great game with a few issues... As other ppl have mentioned AI routing especially for trucks/buses is frustrating when doing complex routes. Also not sure why some places ports can be placed and not others - no proper explanation for this. I can't refit vehicles although it says you can, the option isn't available. Be nice to have more scenarios starting post 1950, especially on the easier difficulties. Would be 5* but the price given flaws is a bit high. I would still buy it again though... :)
I really wanted to like this, but it's very much a stripped back, less good version of the original. But the worst part is that the controls are so unintuitive. Things take ages to build because the interface is inefficient, and even simple stuff, like deleting a cargo station , I can't figure out how to do. Thoroughly disappointed, and a little bit annoyed really. Wish I hadn't bought it.
Having played the original game for many hrs on my pc I thought this would be a great purchase. However, it's nothing like the original. The graphics are pretty poor. The controls are very clumsy. The map is so zoomed in you can't get an overall picture of what's happening or where you are in the game. The fact that there is no free play as such makes it even worse. The ai is pretty dim witted and slow at lot of the time. Overall very disappointed with this purchase.
Looks exactly like the original, but ... On my phone the screen is too small to have a good game on it - not the fault of the developers or anything, just an observation. So I downloaded it to my Google Chromebook (because there is a bigger screen) and have an issue. You can click on any of the interface and get the information up and click to start building, but you can't then click on the map to actually start building! Even plugged in a mouse and this has not helped. Any ideas guys?
As a spiritual successor of Transport Tycoon, it is awesome that Locomotion got ported to Android platform. Sadly, the game provides you with less comfortable experience compared to the pc version. The construction is clumsy, and pathfinding is abysmal. Trucks getting stuck in a loop, while they cannot follow waypoints that you provide them. If issues that plague this game could be addressed, it would be a much more enjoyable experience!
Brilliant port... or it was (hence only 3 stars). Was my favourite game on mobile / tablet for ages and I'd still love it now if it worked properly. Unfortunately, as android has evolved, the game seemingly hasn't. Now full of bugs and errors that weren't there before, and it still works great on my old tablet, so it's clearly a compatibility issue on newer devices rather than bad coding. Please update... it's still a brilliant game, and remains just about playable.
They just abandoned the game. To the point it became free... 😨😱 Just don't download it anymore, it used to be a really nice game with only minor things they should change, add, fix, but they never updated it up to standards. Making the game break more over time. And not being that good anymore. Think of how Transport Fever has a 2nd game now. Sad to see this game going in the bin. 😭 - Hope this helps. 🙂
It was a great game when it worked, but the android 11 wrecked a lot of things. What messed up on my game was the sounds. The chuging of steam trains have turned to crunches, and plane engines have turned to screaming. If you get this game, be aware that it's not 100% fixed, nor will said problems will ever be fixed.
Brilliant game, but absolutely horrible to play on a vanilla HP laptop. Map can't be controlled with its touchpad. After trying to select a harbour for 10 minutes for my new freighter without result.. I had to get rid of the game and request a refund
Best PC to phone port of all time. Played tens of thousands of hours on PC, hundreds of hours on my iPad, and now my Android phone. Only noticed one problem that wasn't prevalent on PC or iOS. Pathfinding on Android doesn't work at all, no matter how many waypoints you set. You can't setup complex rail networks without babysitting them because they always ignore the waypoints and go the wrong way. This makes the hard and expert scenarios nearly impossible without complex rail networks.
Prior to Android 11, this was a fantastic game to play on Android devices. Android 11 broke something in the code and now all scenario names, town names, and the like are throwing the same "String Index Invalid" error. It'd be really nice if the developers or someone would come along and provide a fix. One star until it gets fixed.
had high hopes for the game, love the original series, but the game barely runs on new hardware, I'm using a Note 10+ running Android 10 and it's struggling to display stuff correctly and lots of errors, "text string invalid" on a lot of names and stuff, seeing how it hasn't been updated in 5 years I had to refund it, I'm guessing developers and Chris have given up on this Android port
Buggy, with various issues displaying text and names. A warning on startup that it was designed for an older version of Android and lay not work correctly. Final nail in the coffin, it requires access to contacts, which makes no sense. Uninstalled immediately and asked for refund.
Love Locomotion and Transport Tycoon, but this is a mediocre and outdated port. I for example had the names of scenarios not showing. And it is not made for taller screens like my 21:9 display, lot of wasted space for UI(Which also could use improving). Refunded quickly, hope they can at least provide a small update with fixes.
Game is fine, but on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9, all variable names (scenario titles, stations, vehicle names) are listed as "String Index Invalid", which severely detracts from the experience. I got a refund because of this. If this doesn't bother you, go for it!
A 5/5 game with a 1/5 bug. The pathing AI for the AI is horrible. They will drove halfway around the map if you connect the roads for the sake of two stops a town away from each other. Fix this and I'll play more and rereview, but this issue is game breaking.
Still a great game to play with loads of fun hours to be had. Dropped a star as it warns that my screen is not supported (s9+) which it isn't. But as a paid app and my phone is a few Years old this needs updating. Still playable but annoying.
This game is amazing! However the downside there's no updates producing which means the developers abandoned the game (which I assume) , I don't recommend buying unless you want more maps, vehicles and longer period of gaming time etc. One star off because of no updates
I started transport tycoon with my 386pc, back in the day. I think Google play should remove games that are no longer supported. This game has not been updated since 2013, all town names and scenarios have the same line, "Invalid syntaxes line" No way to play this game on Android 11.
Very good game to pass the time, especially if there's no internet. It may be old but it is brilliant and addictive with lots of different modes to play with a variety of modes. I didn't regret purchasing this at all.
It's not to bad bit needs something! I feel it needs a better solo area I like to build and play but by the time I get a game plan there is 5 different things going on so I lose interest real fast
This game is still the best transport tycoon i have ever played on android way back when this was released. I hope they can still update this game. Edit the game works but this " string index " issue is making me confuse. app is outdated.
Well I am disappointed with this version TIS no good without the sandbox mode. Please reconsider putting sandbox in this game as I do not want 2 apps this one and then ottd ported app for sandbox it's silly. I'm sure 8m not the only one to make mention of this version needing the sandbox mode. If I knew it didn't have sandbox mode I would not have made the purchase. I am only holding onto the app because I paid for it otherwise I would delete it
All i can say is this is the number one Transportation game. No other game comes clse to this in gameplay and controls. Even though the graphics are old looking i think it adds to the game its like minecraft it maybe old looking but damm it does not matter its all about Gameplay. And tge price is 100% worth it no extra cash needed just buy and play. 5 stars my dudes you done a outstanding job.
Overall not a bad game for old times sake. However the lag is unbearable after getting over 80% rating in game due to the programming system unable to handle the number of vehicles.
Update: I was sure they fixed the invalid text string issue but then I remembered I changed phones and this one is on Android 9 while my old one was on 10, so I guess the problem is still there but at least I can play the game again until my next phone, hopefully they'll fix the issue on later Android version although I doubt it. An excellent adaptation of an excellent game for mobile, everything is readable and elements on screen are large and easy to tap, this is how an adaptation should be
