Railway Empire Reviews
Railway Empire is a good game held back by its own design and general bugginess. They certainly don’t make them like they used to, but this is a close facsimile of what those games were like. It’s a game that has enough depth to keep you going, but not enough to losing a whole night to it. Railway Empire comes close to greatness, but settles for just being good in the simulation and management.
Railway Empire is a game that has a lot of promise, plenty of substance, and can be enjoyable to those who have 20ft train sets in their basements. However, most will find this game poorly designed, easily finished, and a tedious use of their time. Suddenly doing laundry sounds like a good idea.
Railway Empire Nintendo Switch Edition is a great railway company management game during the expansion of the railway in the United States. Complete in terms of options, modes and content that only sin from a technical section much lower than other versions and below what the Nintendo console can offer. Despite this, the gameplay is still intact and is a good option if your proposal calls us.

On the first glance, Railway Empire is an interesting addition to the tycoon genre. However, a closer look reveals plenty of issues that make it hard to recommend at retail price. It could definitely find its fans, though.

The core of the game is sound, it just needs to be more upfront with the player about what it's doing. It's really frustrating for me because I keep booting it up and I keep playing it, but eventually tangled web of systems gets the better of me and I've got to close it in a rage.
In other words, if you’re considering Railway Empire because you love the sound of a train in the distance, you’re not likely to enjoy the game. This is a management seem that digs deeply into the technology, the business strategy, and the economic acumen required to tame America’s landscape and reach the pinnacle of what this nation’s all about: corporate power.
Despite slightly unintuitive controls, Railway Empire offers just enough depth and detail to make it worth a play. We can't help wishing for a much more encompassing railway management sim though.
A passionate and capable title with some pretty egregious flaws.
Railway Empire is a good management game, interesting,deep and complex. But it is clearly not for beginners despite its presence on PS4 and Xbox One. The tutorial is too frail and we often end up going around in circles before finding the solution which make a run extremely time-consuming and artificially long. Despite that, this title has many interesting game mechanics, in particular the economy system which is a perfect representation of modern capitalism and what the history of the American railway might have been.

Overall, Railway Empire is a good game which should appeal to newcomers more than seasoned veterans of the genre.
if you are looking for a good strategy game, Railway Empira is a must try. It only adds to the experience if you like trains it even comes with history lessons and can get hard and complicated.

A game than simulation managers will love, and especially classic train lovers, that offers some interesting ideas, very well adapted to Nintendo Switch and very polished in some aspects, like the spanish voiceover. But if you came here looking for great graphics, forget about that. What it's worst is that it also has random crashings.

Easy to get into with a decent amount of challenge to the end. The most accessible railway sim I've played yet.
Railway Empire possesses the strategy, complexity and choice of any good resource management or tycoon game.
Maintains a certain degree of complexity while also being simple enough for newcomers to enjoy the experience. It does suffer from a bad UI and a general lack of sound, but still enjoyable regardless.
An interesting game for those who love trains and strategy, in which you will enjoy beautiful landscapes.

A tycoon about building railways in 19th-century America. Railway Empire is a great addition to the genre, although badly designed controls make the experience a little worse.

Railway Empire is a strong but shallow entry into the railway management style of games that has gone long ignored. With a few slight downfalls, primarily as a result of the game only offering limited maps and time periods to operate in, it can go by a little too quick and become repetitive. However, the journey to get to that stage can be enthralling as it offers a high level of tactical thinking as you interlink your network of rails. Strategic purchases of businesses lets you get a leg up over opposition businesses in a race to become the dominant company. Railway Empire is a very good game in its genre, without a shadow of a doubt. It could become a great game, should Gaming Minds Studios open it up that little bit more.
An awesome way to enjoy the traing infraestructures building, to learn hoy to expand an authentic industrial "empire" and also a good way to learn how the transporting world works. Long, deep and interesting for fans of the management.
