Description
The Oregon Trail™ by Gameloft—Experience The Oregon Trail™ like never before. A modern twist on the trials and tribulations of the road to Oregon, this official successor to the global phenomenon will immerse players in exhilarating journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the totally extreme. Players will pick their traveling party, stock the wagon with supplies, and embark on an adventure filled with tough choices, new dangers, and unexpected situations. Surviving blizzards, broken limbs, snakebites, exhaustion, starvation, and the dreaded dysentery is no small feat; all the while navigating an untamed frontier to get your party to their new life in Oregon before the winter. Track down a missing party in the aftermath of a fierce blizzard, transport volatile gunpowder through blistering desert heat, compete in challenging hunting mini-games, and meet a broad cast of historic figures. With procedurally selected random events where players’ choices affect their party and future game events, there’s always a new adventure on the horizon every time you play.

• Experience 7 Quests inspired by historical events.
• Monitor your party members’ health, morale, stamina and hygiene.

Respectful Representation

A few ideas
This a great game absolutely fun to play but there a few ideas that would make better and funnier. I think it would be a good idea if you had the option to shuffle characters when choosing your party because I always find myself choosing characters I don’t want and having to exit out come back all over over again it can get annoying that’s why I think it would be a good idea if we had the option to shuffle the characters. Also I could see duck hunting in this game as well dlc’s like the California trail and Mormon Trail. Another idea that would be very useful is when your character leaves to go get help but then the other character dies and you get to continue your it would be helpful if that character came back and continued the journey. I would like to see multiplayer added into this game I know that doesn’t seem like a thing would include but what if you could travel in groups instead of four people it would make the more exciting and fun if you were able to play with friends online. Another thing would to have a bigger party of six or five I think having more people would have better chances of getting to Oregon but it make harder because having to take care of more people and spending more money. One last thing you guys should make an ASMR mode just traveling and listening to calming sounds of nature.

😍 One of the best games ever! And a few ideas
Hi Developers! You must be the best game designers of all time! Because this is one of the best games of all time! 😍 This is a super super fun game. It has choices you can make and you choose your party members and when they die you can make Them a grave stone! I even have a favorite character! 😎 I totally LOVE this game and I give infinity stars to it! You don’t even have to use real money for anything! It’s a challenging fun game. I play this game every day for a loooong time (Not kidding or exaggerating) OK, Now some ideas: Since you can see trail weddings (and Ava’s and Douglas’s wedding) (and random ones too) I think you should be able to have one girl and one boy from your party get married! And then give birth to a baby! And the longer you travel the baby is growing up while your traveling! And turning into a kid! (Maybe even a grown up after they turn into a kid) And then in the character selection you can pick already kids or already babies 👶🏻! 😃 These ideas were inspired by the thing you can put on the gravestone that says Our Only Child, (Then it puts the person’s name obviously) But if there are no children or babies how can I use that ?! Bye best game developers ever! P.s. call me Doggie

Nature Trail Journey
I keep seeing the Devs suggest this “relaxing” play mode to players criticizing how hard the game is in regular mode. However; I have played the Nature Trail Journey twice now and I have gotten wiped out on the first river both times! I don’t know how this is supposed to be “easier”, when I was able to beat the regular mode with 3 of my party members still with me when I got to Oregon City on my first go? I think if you are going to offer an easy mode, it really should be much more easy than the regular mode. Maybe give every river a ferry option and make money more easy to come by?
I bought the most expensive wagon on the Nature Trail Journey, whereas I had the mid-range wagon on my original game in regular mode, and I could not see any significant difference in the resistance to wear and tear on the more expensive one. Maybe you could make the wagon status bar read more like the health, stamina, etc... bars for the characters? I would also like the benefit of using wheel grease to be more clear. For example, if it was more like the bars for everything else in the game, the grease could restore 2 or 3 segments in the bar - and a fuller bar would significantly decrease the likelihood of a breakdown?
This game is so pretty, fun, and has got me hooked so far - but I can see what the other commenters are talking about, and I can tell that I’ll lose interest in the game pretty soon if I keep running into these inconsistencies.

Fun but unrealistic
I really enjoy the game!! I even enjoy the challenges that come along the way! The problem is, it seems that every move i make leads to an inescapable casualty. I can understand that the game is supposed to emulate what the people who traveled the Oregon trail went through, but the amount of injuries and wagon break downs is just unnecessary. I wouldn't mind it if there were a strategic way to avoid it but there isn't. Even when it comes to the wagon breaking down iver time grease hardly does anything. In fact, during one of my play throughs i used grease and literally not even a moment later my wagon broke down. Also, when i traverse rivers the odds are never in my favor. Several times ive had a 70% or higher chance of getting across and out all those times the only time i did was when i had close to 100%. Thats just unreasonable!!! I really enjoy this game, but the difficulty being astronomical just makes it not fun to play. Like i said adding strategic elements to make things less likely to go bad (stretching to prevent exhaustion, checking the wagon to prevent food from going moldy and snakes from biting ur ppl, literally ANYTHING to prevent disentery, better wagon grease to stave off wagon malfunctions, etc.) would make it being so difficult not so much of a drawback cause there'd be ways to combat it!

Great Game, Fun Timewaster
This game is one of the most fun games I've played in a while. I had rather low standards for this game, because I have played other versions of this game and didn't really like them. When I decided to give this game a shot, I instantly fell in love. I have already put 6 hours into this game, and here is my review.
This game is great, it captures the aspects of so many things perfectly. It makes it seem like you are in the game, walking along with your party. It keeps hunting in the style of the old games, but fixes it up a lot and makes it way more balanced. I love the way that you can trade with other people at landmarks. This game took most aspects from the original, and refined them, and added more.
This game captures how difficult, long and grueling the oregon trail actually was. Whether it's drinking nasty water and getting sick, having low heigine, getting exauhsted, or litterally getting so bored that you storm off, it captures it all perfectly. There are snakebites and mites, biting at you constantly. You have to save up medicine, meat, and more just so that your party members don't get sick, or lose health.
Yes, it does take a long time to beat, and it is pretty difficult, but other than that, it s a great game.

Well done Gameloft
The Oregon Trail, the iconic computer game from the MECC many of us grew up playing in school and libraries is reimagined in yet another way. This one is an absolute delight which in my mind is high praise considering I am not a huge gameloft fan. But wow! You guys really did pour a lot of heart and soul into this game beyond just the sound and visuals (which are perfect, by the way). It reminds me of the firaxis remake of xcom enemy within in terms of quality. There’s a bit of randomness here to keep you on your toes and add replay value (as I recall it was there in the older versions of Oregon Trail) including the threat of dysentery, success fording the river/caulking the wagon, encounters Etc. Even hunting is made like it was “back then” ala tank controls, which I actually like. It could use some improvements perhaps, making trapping/hunting/fishing more lucrative beyond just pelts/fish to sell or trade but it might be nitpicking. I still can’t think of anyone doing any better here except maybe firaxis? Overall I have to say I am quite pleased and I bet Apple is too. Download this and Sneaky Sasquatch and you have serious competition (in terms of gameplay quality) to any other systems’ exclusives.

Not as much fun as I thought!
I keep getting challenges to collect meat with zero chances given to do so. I keep getting challenges to collect 3 berries with only one bush. No matter what player I pick, I waste bait on things I can't do anything with. My wagon breaks down more often then it makes sense. Who actually packs 10 tool boxes and or other repair stuff. Why are they all work only 1? Same with the food. Meat... crackers... berries doesn't matter it's all worth only 1. Why have so much different stuff off it's technically all the same? It gives me options the game refuses leaving me only "wait" as an option!? What's that about?? You need water! Here's water! Oh wait cholera! Why give Traps.. then not be able to use them. Oh wait! The game uses them for you and they did nothing at all???? It spends more time setting up the issues then providing solutions! 8hrs in going slow and eating a lot all clean and rested but because I have no harmonicas!? My entire group is forlorn!? Not my fault you only provided 2! Can't buy them or make them? Just ten to 1 issues over solutions!! Lame!!!!
It gets EVEN WORSE!! I just used stat items to increase one of my characters. And immediately the game makes me get rid of her. Yes.... made me. No option at all to keep her. Really?? Who is playing this game??

A Few Observations from an Old Player
I played Oregon Trail on Apple 2s in computer lab in 6th grade back in 1985. This game is supposed to be hard. You might lose, your party might die, bad things happen — you try again a different way. You might do everything right and still have a freak accident. That’s the Oregon trail, and also life. It doesn’t need to be made any easier, otherwise it’d be dull.
As far as the PC elements, it’s fine. This game isn't supposed to get into the weeds with all that. All Native Americans weren’t utterly benign on the real Oregon trail, but some were indeed extremely generous with their time and help. Just like everything bad that’s ever happened isn’t just the fault of white people. But the safe route is the best route when making a game where your focus isn’t on the subtleties of who did what when.
I love this game. I love the randomness of never knowing who you’re going to end up with in your party. It’s my favorite for long road trips — makes the time fly. I have a deep love for the land of the US and have travelled across it many times, and this game is a carefully crafted love letter to the (still) untamed beauty of the West.

Good game, for awhile
I really enjoyed this game the first few times I played, but there were some features from the version I grew up with (version 3 I think) that I really miss. The first was a more educational and interactive “gather” option. It used to be you had to look up the plants in the guidebook and determine if they were safe to eat, which I thought was really cool. I’ll always be able to identify nightshade haha. It was fascinating and made gathering much more interesting.
The second option I miss was being able to pick your departing date from Independence. This game it’s very easy to make it to Oregon by winter even though you leave in May. The version I grew up with this was not the case, and sometimes it made more sense to leave really early and cross the first river or two when it was frozen to avoid getting stuck in the mountains in September.
Mostly, after a few rounds, the game just became too easy. The quests don’t change. It’s not that you get “Star Crossed Lovers” one time and “Peppard’s Folly” the next, you get them all every time. It makes it too predictable. More and varied quests would make the game much more fun over the long term, as well as the ability to choose a much harder level.

Fantastic version of the game
This is a great updated version of the game. I have two complaints/suggestions. First, I wish we could run the entire California Trail instead of being forced to start the journey midway at Fort Hall. There doesn’t seem to be any reason not to let us start at Independence. You could even make it so no mining opportunities are available for the first half of the trip in order to avoid creating any balance issues with accumulating extra gold.
Second suggestion/complaint is with the quality of characters offered. With three characters to choose from on each of four screens, and two traits for each character, it is not in any way unusual to see 5/6 traits on any one character page be negative. I don’t want to run journeys with four characters who are frail and slack. I’m just going to keep restarting until O get some decent trait options. There are several things you could do to fix this. Either decrease the rate of negative traits, or at least allow those who have completed a journey to have the option of making custom characters or avoid overt negative character sections.
