Orient Express: The Train Simulator Hack 3.1.3 + Redeem Codes

I love this game, except for a major problem: It won’t allow a game that is in progress to be saved so as to continue it at another time. I managed to get to level 3, put it on hold, came back the next day, and it went back to level 1. Can you, please, fix this problem? I have enjoyed this for years, but I get tired of having to start with level 1 each time.

This game is good. i definetly like it but one issue i have with it is when using the red signals to make the train stop. As a train simulator game thats what the train is really supposed to do, not go backwards to where it came from lol. Its supposed to stay there until you clear the signal. That is my only small issue that maybe an update could fix. This is coming from a railroad employee who works in signal ;)

I think there should be 3D models of the trains and buildings. It would certainly give it more depth. Just a recommendation. I've had this game for as long as I could remember :)

The semaphores will not change when tapped on and the switches rarely respond to touch. The railroad building is clunky and limited. Maybe try making it possible to use your finger to "draw" out the track using a grid interface to keep it manageable. The best railroad game I've played utilized that technique and the game ran very smooth.

I have been a sim city fan for as long as I can remember, and this game is just as fun. Same idea, but with trains!

If you are a railfan & enjoy strategy games - I think you'll like this one. The AI is very challenging (or frustrating); the game seems to beat on you hardest where you are having the most trouble; gives you the exact color of train that you least want to see at that time; and I always chuckle when it gets the timing just right to cause a crash. It can get very fast paced and the different train lengths & speeds make it a constant battle to make adjustments in time.

The graphics are decent, but small and I have a hard time seeing the position of some of the switches, especially when they are at the edge of a town/behind a building. The semaphores are sometimes too close to the switches causing missed switch taps. I need more time between having a town rail appear and the first train being ready to leave it - or give it a PAUSE without having the menu block the screen. These are relatively minor issues. The developers have been regularly updating, adding features, and improving the "smoothness" of the game.

I give it 5 stars because of the value. The $0.99 price offsets any problems I listed above; it's great fun.

I played the heck out of this game a year ago, or so. Had some time to kill and went back to it, and got frustrated quickly. When the third city appeared, I needed to remove some track to tie it in. Could NOT get that one piece of track to give me the delete icon. I could delete others, but not that one. I did, however get the service train to come out several times. So I restarted the game. This time I accidentally started a train before the incoming train was fully off the screen. Then, of course, I couldn't get a service train out. I'm running it on an iPad this time, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Nice app, lots of fun with great potential. Main issue (BIG issue) is the scoring system. It needs ASAP fixing.

Some trains don't pay Money and others are not counted under Trains when they reach their destination. Those random trains create real havoc and when they crash our trains, especially when almost done at destination, they eat up A LOT of Money, end the game early and destroy the fun.

Please fix the Scoring System ASAP and you will have a very nice and fun game!

I think it can be a fun game, but the build options really force you to build and connect tracks a certain way which makes game play really limited. This holds espeically try when starting a new game and you need to link to towns together. As a die hard train buff, I knew not ot expect RRT2 or better, but I would have hoped track laying would be a bit easier to work.

I bought this game because I would love to have a good railroad or rollercoaster construction tycoon game for the iPhone. However, I find its user interface is currently too difficult to undertand and use. Some examples:

- Trains never left the station in any of the 4 games I played. No on screen indicators gave any clue as to why not. Tapping the screen had no effect on the game.

- The instructions are verbose and do not progress logically. This adds to the challenge of quickly get into a successful first game.

- The tutorial is hard to find, text based instead of interactive, and puts text on a transparent background.

Even with its problems, the game may have potential. I'll keep the game installed a little while longer in case the developers provide an update that makes it easier to understand.
