    It's a dumbed down version of railroad tycoon 2 with better graphics. The maps are small and progression limited. Fun to play for a couple hours but certainly not worth the asking price. Grab it on steam sale for 10 bucks, never pay more.

    Clearly the developers never heard of Transport Tycoon, Transport Tycoon Deluxe, OpenTTD, and even Sid Meier's Railroads! - this game simply lacks mechanics crucial for any successful game of the genre. The game is just a mess and a huge waste of money.
    The worst part of it is that the game could have been oh so much better if only some effort was put into it.

    Easy, too simplified, small maps, and.. just a big mess. nothing that you would expect from such a game, definitely not worth buying for 50 €.

    This could be done much better, but its done how its "okay". Developers become lazy and start make games better than worst by their competitors. Where all great games go? Why to launch "ok"-games is ok now?

    Give Kaylpso a classic, and they will suck the soul out of it, dumb it down, give it an underwhelming coat of modern graphics (in this case: graphics from 2005), and of course splatter this empty husk over a dozen DLCs so that as of today you have to pay 200 $ for the complete experience.

    Save the money, get one of the old Railroad Tycoon games, and don't support this company.

    This Is a super designed rail experience better than Trainz2004 &06 sim .It ,(requires funds and maps larger with a whole history of railroading in America.) That said I've tried too play and can't seems moving view wants too travel 199s;to 1999s of miles on a click of button trying too see where I'm laying track and failing, then when I want to click on me Icons there is a wait too 5 minsThis Is a super designed rail experience better than Trainz2004 &06 sim .It ,(requires funds and maps larger with a whole history of railroading in America.)

Very frustrating . Riding is fun but view limited.… Expand

    A sad clone of the Railroad Tycoon classics. The non-American voice acting is jarring, the art style is something from mobile gaming, and the user interface is janky and frustrating.

    Railway Empire is already a well crafted railway management game, however this Complete Collection brings all the additional content in a single package.

    Railway Empire follows the footsteps of Railroad Tycoon and also adds a new content with fresh new ideas –all packed in a comprehensible way and elegant style. [Issue#283]

    An entertaining tycoon which has a trouble with the confused build-up and, above all, the confusing interface, which come up especially in later stages of the game. But its core is incredibly entertaining and carefully tuned.
