Mixed bag. On one hand there are a lot of layers and scenarios to explore, and despite the Ai opponents not being particularly hard to beat it's still fun. However the process of track laying is FRUSTRATING. There's a ton of examples but none more frustrating than running rail between 2 towns and then not being able set down a route because the towns are not "connected". Since this is a foundational part of the game it really hampers the experience.

I never thought this game would see the light of day again. Destined to be forgotten; only played by diehard fans reliving nostalgia a from decade old game. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this game would be remastered. But I'm glad that I was wrong and someone at Firaxis/2K still loved this game enough to bring in another developer to give Railroads! another life on mobile. Although not a very complex strategy game, it's still as fun as ever. Highly recommend despite being a bit pricey.

Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon was my favorite PC game back in the day, so I was excited to see Railroads available on Android. I love the game. Love the complexity, strategic play, and visuals, but it's just too difficult to get exact placement of track, switches, etc, with fat fingers on a tiny phone screen. The "x" & "Tic" help for track placement, but it would be far less frustrating if the game allowed for a final review/adjustments and then a "Commit" button. Overall... a great game!

When laying track you can drag the blue dots to change curvature, and drag on the end node to shorten or lengthen it. Alternatively, tap and hold the end node to confirm a section and start a new one, making it easier to lay track in short stages. When laying track in this way you can use the red Undo icon in the bottom panel to remove a stage.
