Rail Estate is an excellent strategy game. It looks really easy, but it's a lot harder than it seems. I never thought I'd ever be playing cut throat trains: but you gotta be sneaky and crafty as hell to do well in this game. It even has multiplayer for people who actually have friends. I don't so, the AI opponents will have to do. I hope this review helps you decide whether this game is right for you. It's a quick download... And it even has a free demo if you'd like to try it before you buy it. Unlike so many other games, I have thoroughly enjoyed taking the time to review this game!!
I like it!
Enjoyable game, but don't expect a railway tycoon style game. It's fast paced and competitive and you will get your routes cutoff, outbit at auctions, and have your passengers stolen. The fun is in fighting back and taking their routes at auction, taking their passengers by creating shortcuts between their cities.
Great take on the Railroad management genre. The tutorial is well-paced, the game and the rules are easy to digest and use, and the controls are fast and intuitive. Fantastic value for the money, I look forward to seeing how it evolves over time!
Very good game. Lots of fun with friends, and the Ai has some pretty good difficulty too. Devs are very responsive, and when I reported a bug they responded promptly and have a fix for the next version prepped already it seems. As it's also fairly cheep, I would definitely recommend trying it out.
Fresh approach into rail game.
Juegazo, me encantó jugar con mis amigos en cooperativo y han metido una campaña con muchas misiones. Muy bonito, parece un juego de mesa pero sin tener que hacer cálculos. Totalmente recomendado
This is a hard thumbs down from me. Betting on rail routes between cities isnt fun. You only get one chance at bidding for a train route. You can set a train route to bid on and then not get it because you bet on another route. There is a strong snowball effect in this game as well. Some single player campaign missions require to sit waiting twiddling your thumbs waiting for the money to come in from your starting route. This is only what I can think of off the top of my head. I might actually refund this game. This game is so much less than other games in terms of being the best excuse for a worthy successor to rt3 weve been waiting for for twenty odd years. The most notable examples being not only railway empire series and bounty train but the ralroad corporation series itself. Be very careful before comitting to a purchase for this game and try out the other games Ive mentioned before doing so as well. This world will be saved someday insh<Allah. Hope this review helps. Have a nice day.

Rail Estate pro mě bylo jedno z těch naprosto nečekaných překvapení. Zapnul jsem to jen na vyzkoušení… a najednou jsem zjistil, že u toho sedím asi 9 hodin. :D Na první pohled je to poměrně jednoduchá hra – budujete železniční síť, propojujete města, vyděláváte peníze, nakupujete nové tratě a snažíte se vybudovat co nejúspěšnější železniční impérium. Jenže jakmile proti vám začnou hrát další lidi a všichni bojují o stejné trasy a příležitosti, začne být hra neskutečně zábavná. Trochu mi to svou přístupností a kompetitivností připomíná hry jako Territorial.io nebo OpenFront – jednoduchý princip, který rychle pochopíte, ale soupeření s reálnými hráči z toho dokáže udělat úplně jiný zážitek. A právě multiplayer je podle mě místo, kde má Rail Estate obrovský potenciál. Zkoušeli jsme hrát ve více lidech a byla to neskutečná zábava. Občas jsme sice narazili na problémy s připojením do společného lobby, ale jakmile jsme se dostali do hry, stálo to za to. Osobně bych strašně rád viděl nějaký veřejný kompetitivní „Battle“ mód – automatická lobby s náhodnými hráči, matchmaking, rating a globální žebříček. Něco, kde prostě kliknete na PLAY, hra vás hodí mezi ostatní hráče a bojujete o vítězství. Myslím, že právě něco takového by téhle hře sedlo naprosto perfektně. Je to zatím menší hra, o které podle mě ví mnohem méně lidí, než by mělo. Já z ní každopádně plánuji udělat video, představit ji české a slovenské komunitě a možná dokonce uspořádat menší komunitní turnaj. :D Za mě rozhodně doporučuji. Malá hra, jednoduchý koncept… a sakra, kam zmizelo těch 9 hodin?
