SteamPower 1830 4+

This is a great game but the late game stages are too hard and should be made easier. The game stops becoming fun in late game because you are forced to work at an extremely fast pace and race the clock to the point that the game becomes less about actually playing the game and more about rushing the clock and usually failing. HOWEVER, if you like that kind of play style during the end of a game then you will love the game throughout the entire time you play it. If we could get free premium currency, say 1 gold every 1 or 2 days that we login, that would be very helpful. Also the wheels on the train engines do not rotate or move, so please make them animated. Also if valleys were added to the game with bridges being required to build over them and oil being a cargo available in 1920 would be great. This is one of the best transport games on the iPad. One last thing. Tunnels through mountain ranges please?

I’ve enjoyed playing this game very much. It has a nice mix of strategy and relaxation. I’m able to chill playing this game but at the same time still have to think about what I’m doing in order to complete each level. The game’s mechanics themselves are not that complicated so it’s really easy to pick the game up for a few minutes every now and then. The simplicity of it, not having to worry about perfect angled rails or steep slopes, etc., makes it very easy to connect cities, yet at the same time the game has the aspect of managing cities supplies. It has a very good complexity to strategy ratio, meaning you can spend more time focused on actually playing the game and not having to worry about if your tracks are lined up just right (referring to the tiles implemented into the game, simplifying structure and railroad placement). The only problem I have is not being able to play a book in the background. I have very few apps that actually keep me from listening to a book/music in the background and this is one of those. But it doesn’t take away from the game itself so there is no need to lower the rating at all. Overall though, fantastic game, and I look forward to playing through more levels. 10/10

SteamPower1830 is a great game by itself, but I'd like to see a more explanatory tutorial on how to strategize to win a game, and I'd like to see more content like upgradable trains or a dual train track on 1 hexagon or trains that are unlocked as time progresses, to put a few ideas out there. Now I'm not one of those people that asks straight up for these ideas, I know making a game that is on Mobile AND Computer can't be easy, and I don't even know if the Dev team is big or just 4 guys in a garage so I don't expect big changes. But at least the game is updated every time there's a new iOS released. One more thing. The game could be made a little easier. Like for example, food is worth almost no monetary value later in a game, same for wood, but not as much. As I said, the game is fine by itself. I appreciate the amazing game that sticks out of all the other tycoon games on the App Store and even on pc too, I think.
I wish the dev team the best of luck on this game and future projects.

Overall Rating - 9/10 - 5 stars
