    This game is off a good start, I would love to see the next version. The game uses fog of war adding the element of exploration before you invest in you rails. If you love economic simulations you should give this a try.

  1. The interface is nigh on impenetrable. The system of exploration is ludicrous (the whole map is blacked out at the start, so at first you don't even know where the mountains lie). The scenarios are uninspiring. The combat is pointless and passes practically unnoticed. [PC Zone]

    The aspects it draws on do add a new element to the genre although they do slow down the action, making you work even harder to build your railway. The presentation makes the game feel half complete and the learning curve on the interface is unnecessary and sloppy on the tutorial.

    At the heart of this pretty below average game lies potential that could have made a largely enjoyable business management title.
