Balance environmental impact with productivity, trying to meet your neighbouring town's demands.
I really like this game. It's fun, strategic and to me has a very good replay value. It might have little bugs here and there but what EA title doesnt? Thats the whole point of EA, to help the Devs out through the creation process, giving them your suggestions and whatnot. The Devs are very active and will respond to anything you're concerned with. I love a good management challenge and taking control of supply and demand and this is one of those games that will keep you playing for hours. The graphics are really nice. Real smooth gameplay. I think its got a lot going for it right now and the devs are not finished yet so, go check it out.
This game crashes very easily on me, usually when paused and unattended. The debug trace suggests it's doing really nasty things to libpthread (seriously, when's the last time you saw a game create 68 threads? Even if some of them are overhead from Mono, that sounds like a recipe for a programming nightmare). I also find it gets jerky after you've been playing the same world for a while.
That being said, I have gotten a few hours of entertainment out of it, and while it isn't the most brilliant entry in the management sim genre, I think it was worth the sale price I paid for it. I wouldn't have bought it at full price, however.
This game really pulled me in. The game play is fun but challenging in career mode. The random events really make it interesting. All kind of events happen like auctions for contracts in cities to build. So much to tell you about I can't. I've only played career mode, but the game includes sandbox with everything unlocked, scenario's etc... I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes games like Open TTD, Railroad Tycoon and Transport Giant. I think this game is ahead of those by a long way, but don't take my word. You can download the demo right here at the great GOG site. The devs are very helpful and really put some time and thinking into the game. This game is a BIG thumbs up !!
I love this game and can only imagine how much fun it will be once it's fully developed. I haven't felt this way about a game of this genre since I played OpenTT. There's always something to do and decisions to make in a pleasing environment. I can see faults in the game in it's currrent state, but I can also see those faults being addressed in the RoI Discord community, which in turn makes me believe that the end product will be amazing.
