Not as good as Railroad Tycoon, but nothing can compete with childhood memories :-)
Railway Empire is fun to play and has a good balance between tough and easy objectives.
В видео игре Railway Empire вы контролирует вашу собственную компанию по производству поездов, так как железнодорожная индустрия растет с поразительной скоростью и приносит колоссальную прибыль. Отвечая за прокладку дорог и создание новых маршрутов по всей Америке, вы несете ответственность за подключение городов к огромной и сложной сети трансконтинентальных поставок.
Самая крутая игра про железную дорогу.
A sold enough railroad simulation game. The actual track building portion of the game in probably the strength. However it feels a little "gamey" at times with a lot of things locked behind research and the overly annoying voice overs. Still worth a look for fans of these type of games.
It really is great to see a new train based strategy game make an appearance, it's long overdue.I have been waiting for a follow-on to Railway Tycoon 2 (RT2) and this is probably it for the moment.
I like this game being based on history with a link to realism. An ideal railway game would have the following elements,
1/ A route laying element where the player has a set of tools to build track from A > B which incorporates various trade-offs to give an advantage/disadvantage dependent on the player' skill and other factors.
2/ A detailed train routing and consist element with user selectable AI assistance.
3/ A managable economic system which is easy to understand.
4/ A financial element restricted to the train and associated industry main game.
5/ A UI which is low on clutter and intuitive to the user.
6/ Some reference material that explains the above.
7/ An editor for modders.
In this game, 1 and 2 are more or less there, 3 is let down by the UI, 4 is quite disappointing, 5 is a failure, 6 is laughable and 7 does not get a look in. In the end I rate this a marginal purchase because it misses out on being a step up from RT2, in fact, graphics aside it is a retrograde increment.That said, a good clean and rework of the UI would help enormously to lift it's rating, especially city demand and train routing.
I am not a fan of spy's and saboteurs in these types of games as they largely serve to distract players from what should be the main aim, mainly to run an efficient railroad. The breakdown mechanic also needs some work as it's pretty silly having new trains with service facilities breaking down every run with a random breakdown balloon.
Let's hope some game revisions are made.
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 mins while waiting for highlight and response of being clicked. Very frustrating . Riding is fun but view limited.
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?
SummaryIn Railway Empire, you will create an elaborate and wide-ranging rail network, purchase over 40 different trains modelled in extraordinary detail, and buy or build railway stations, maintenance buildings, factories and tourist attractions to keep your travel network ahead of the competition. You'll also need to hire and manage your workf...
