[h1]Einleitung[/h1] Mit Transport Services bekommt ihr ein sehr einfach gehaltenes Aufbaustrategiespiel auf eure Festplatte. Auch das hinter dem Spiel stehende Konzept ist einfach gehalten und kommt ohne umfangreichen Background daher. Der Spieler errichtet von einer Startstadt aus ein Transportimperieum bestehend aus Bussen/LKW, Zügen, Flugzeugen und Zeppelinen. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] Nach der Auswahl der Karte und Einstellungen wie Schwierigkeitsgrad und ein paar möglichen Einstellungen die Karte betreffend geht es auch schon los. Der Startpunkt und die Städte auf der Karte sind bei jedem Spiel die Gleichen. Allerdings müssen neue Städte erst freigespielt werden. Je höher eure Transportmengen umso schneller gibt es weitere Städte und umso schneller das Wachstum eben dieser. Um eine neue Verbindung zwischen zwei Städten aufzubauen ist es ausrechend jeweils eine Haltestelle zu platzieren und beide Städte mit einer Straße zu verbinden. Das Fahrzeug wird direkt in einer Haltestelle gekauft. Diese ist dann auch der Startpunkt, nun gilt es nur noch das Ziel in einem Dropdownmenü auszuwählen und schon ist die Strecke fertig. Neben Passagieren ist es auch möglich, Güter zu transportieren. Jede Stadt stellt eine von fünf verschiedenen Gütern her, vier können also immer angeliefert werden. Auch dies beschleunigt das Wachstum der Stadt. Je größer eine Stadt umso mehr Waren werden verbraucht und umso mehr Passagiere können transportiert werden. Bis hier her macht Transport Services alles genau so wie andere Titel ach, ok, Grafik und Sound sind auch sehr eigen. Das eigentlich Interessante ist aber, dass die Städte verschiedene Farben habe und die Passagiere auch in Städte mit bestimmten Farben transportiert werden müssen. Anfangs ist dies natürlich noch einfach, mit jeder neuen Farbe wird die Sache allerdings immer komplizierter.

Der Grafikstil hat allerdings einen gewissen Reiz.[/list] [*][b]Spielspaß 6/10[/b] Trotz technischer Mängel und fehlenden Fahrzeugen hat Transport Services einen gewissen Charme und kann Fans begeistern.[/list] [h1]60 Minuten Review[/h1] https://youtu.be/5qeQNksIul0 [h1]Fazit[/h1] Zu Grafik und Sound habe ich ja genug geschrieben. Spielerisch kann Transport Services dennoch überzeugen. Das Bauen und Planen von Transportverbindungen ist so simpel und einfach, dass man dieses Spiel als Entspannungstherapie verkaufen könnte. Durch die verschiedenen Farben kann es recht interessant werden gute Transportrouten zu finden. Ein paar Fahrzeuge bzw. eine zeitliche Weiterentwicklung hatte aber sicher nicht geschadet. [h1]Kleiner Tipp[/h1] Im Optionsmenü ist es möglich, die Farbe des Bodens einzustellen. Eine grüne Landschaft wirkt deutlich besser als das original eingestellte weiß. [h1]Review Info![/h1] [*][b]Testzeit: ca. 6 Stunden[/b][/list] [*][b]Version: 1.0.4[/b][/list] Aufgrund der einfachen Grafik läuft Transport Services auch auf älteren und schwächeren Rechnern. Allerdings ist das Spiel beim Autosave einmal eingefroren, der Spielstand war allerdings gespeichert. [Quote][b]Hat dir diese Review gefallen? Dann zeig es doch mit einem Like oder einem Kommentar.

I cannot recommend as is. Trains getting stuck IS an issue. I have played other train games so i know how to setup switches. Trains will stay stuck on platforms or at switches on a merge track. I like the light gameplay but i can't play a game where i have to force trains to move or else restart the game/delete and recreate the train to get it going. I look forward to a few months from now when i try it again.
Graphics are awesome, app never feels slow... Game play has potential, the passenger movement requires developing a strategy but cargo movement lacks any interest. I like it overall and hope it gets better. Here are my gripes... Navigation is cumbersome to the point it affects gameplay and continued enjoyment of the game. The combination keyboard shortcuts and mouse input (available only under certain tools) are awkward and frustrating. You would think you could point and zoom to an area, but you don't and... [deleted] Also the MiniMap shows the same area you essentially see in your main window (or by spinning around). But distant cities (that's as soon as you have 8 or more) are obscured by fog and not on minimap. So only way to reveal that area, is to navigate. Arrrrgh! You will be zooming in and out a lot... At scale where you can see a few cities, you can't see trains. And the arrows to determine switch settings? You have to zoom in so much you can see what the engineer is eating for lunch (ham sandwich). Drop the floating signs over the cities. 1) they're in the way 2) Anytime you click on those from any distance, you end up hitting the upgrade station button. Why not set up all trains and stations in list format and access everything from there? The visuals are great. You should be able to set up "cams" at stations or where ever so you can see your world up close... KILL the dialogue boxes. Some other bugs: frozen trains in station (had to recycle), mouse doesn't work in lowest screen area.
The game is in very early development and it looks like it hasn't had any updates/patches since November 2019! I would therefore assume it’s probably been abandoned by the developers. It’s a shame as the game showed a lot of potential with a lot of expansion possible. I will of course update my review if any further changes are made to the game. I purchase games like this in the effort to help support development at an early stage. It is a gamble and in this case it didn’t pay off. As of now I cannot recommend the game in its current form and if no developer support then it’s dead in the water.
I would definitely recommend this game IF there was not that frustrating bug that Buses, Trucks or even Planes just got stuck at their stations which causes a chain reaction of "collapse" totally. The only way to resolve the issue is by deleting your expensive cars one by one or destroying your maximum level station. I tried really much but I can't play the game at it's current state. If this issue would be resolved the game is actually very enjoyable. Watching small towns getting developed into Metropolises is really satisfying. There are good amount of transportation vehicles on road, rail and air. I didn't have the chance to test Water transportation tho. I hope one day the Traffic Stuck bug would be resolved and I change my review to positive. Cheers!
Good little game that is certainly worth the money that is being asked to purchase it, even at full price. Needs to be taken slowly at first and no need to try to connect every new city that enters the map as soon as they appear, you can take your time and they will still be there later. Try it and I'm sure that you'll get a pleasant surprise.
Horrible interface, horrible controls, horrible music. Doesn't looks like a finished game. Seems a lot like a 3D proof of concept for something that maybe someday will become sort of a game. Going for refund.
Not finished and no more updates for the last 2 years... To be avoided!
Unfortunately I can't recommend this yet. If I understand it properly, it's more of an expanded Mini Metro than TTD or even a railroad tycoon. Everything's simplified, cities reveal themselves over time, I don't think there are transit passengers, there's only one elevation as mountains are objects, cities grow without respect to the road network. The game does look great and has a neat soundtrack but it's not what I was expecting as I was hoping for more of a low poly TTD, and it's lacking the level of polish required for me to enjoy it as it is. There's no click-and-drag for building routes - you have to place one tile at a time. Numbers are hard to read with the typeface they used especially at small sizes. I couldn't quite figure out where the passengers wanted to go in the short amount of time I played this. The GUI is a bit clunky as well, as I bought things I didn't want to buy. I picked the game up on sale, I don't regret it, and I will be checking back in on it in the future. Hopefully the devs are still working on it, and I wish them good luck!
I do not recommend the game, although it has potential. It has a weak UI and some elements are not fine-tuned. I don't see the point of 3D - it's a source of trouble. I had to turn off the music because it was terrible. The font is inappropriate (ala wild west). I had to cancel the game several times to learn how to control it. Horses are more suitable for the Wild West. I would add, for example, the possibility of automatic road construction. Better scenario at the beginning of the game. Dialogues with the player, such as rewards for progress in the game, would bring more fun.
