Are you wild about NimbleBit’s Pocket Planes (Free) but wish it had… More? Are you so wild about trains that you can relate with this guy? Well, NimbleBit has just what the doctor ordered. They’re just starting the early phases of beta testing, and from the sounds of it, it’s going to be pretty radical. Instead of building an airline, you set off managing multiple railroads to ferry cargo all over the world. There’s all sorts of different train types to unlock, an extensive world map, and tons more.
Check out the screenshots:
Since they just started the beta and all, NimbleBit isn’t ready to start talking specifics on the release date or, really, anything else. Regardless, they’re confident the game is going to hit later this year.
Wait, if you have to buy gold currency, what's the point of the $4 version?
Yet another pay to win game by these guys.
I really liked the Battleship clone they did, but the fact that you had to pay to be at top performance turned me off. I don't mind paying for stuff, but when an IAP system is designed for it's players to either blow money on every single match or simply be inferior to those that do, well... That's not what I call a game. Would you play a game of basketball if you or the other team could pay per game to have an extra player or buy extra free throws? Would that be a fair and legitimate game? No. It would be a scam. Yet people play these games like battlefriends and don't see any problems. Bleh.
I have no doubt that this game will be a good scorched earth clone, but the mere fact that you can purchase better ammunition completely ruins it. Games need an equal playing field, not an equal paying field.
So is this a scorched earth / worms type artillery game?
Never a good sign when the studio doesn't show game play in a game day release trailer... instead they show you their other game. Pass.
