Buying and Selling with bad combat.
The game is in short a game where you drive your train around the early USA and you can do a mix of thigs, from simply buying cheap and selling high or take people to where they need to go(timed quests...) or find and deliver specific cargo to a town (timed quests...) or just go all out and fight bandits (who are all better than you, have cover, doesn't have a train that spontaneously combusts because someone drowned the walls in gasoline) and the latter three are something the game has to be better at. Most combat I have played in the game is as good as unbeatable, and it all depends on how everyone are bullet sponges, your train breaks, catches fire, destroys your cargo, explodes, and pretty much screws you over. The combat is played a little bit like FTL where you can move crew members to varying places, but it is unlike FTL in how the place doesn't really matter much, and the train isn't a space craft with weapons and shields, but a trashy old death trap, and this is the main reason why I refuse to even bother with the game after about ten or so restarts. However, what does make the game neater is the management skills, you have to buy your own fuel, and you can even choose how much fuel to use (you travel faster that way) and the fuel can even end up making the train so heavy your machine can't run it (Which is really bad, it would be better if it would move slower after certain weights) but buying and selling is mostly just smallwork, and there are quests to pick up, some to deliver cargo, sometimes you have to get the cargo yourself, and get it back in the specified time (as if the town would suddenly not longer need the medicine i brought? fine) or trasnport people, here you need a special cart for them, and possibly more space for their goods, also here, time sensitive and you can get a quest you cannot finish in time. So, in short the game is okay at what makes it its own game, but it sucks at combat and quest design.
