EDIT: Took the plunge, and yes, it has both controller support and cloud save. EDIT 2: So far, more of a Japanese arcade train sim feel than something like ETS2, but it is much fun. Wish you didn't have to toggle the bus function menu (doors, lights, CC, etc) to address the random events (ticket sales, sleeping passengers, etc). Otherwise, not much to complain about. Does anyone see a listed graphics quality higher than "MEDIUM?" Brightsiderus Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2017 2,234 540 113 #6 Brightsiderus, Oct 17, 2022 Yeah. High and Ultra.

This is a wonderful game. Looking back at my purchase history, I’ve also played a couple of astragon’s truck and construction sims, and this game is just such a step up in driving feel and gameplay. EDIT: Yes, I see that now on my 11 pro but not on my iPad 9, even if I adjust the resolution way down. Alex DeLargest Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2010 346 122 43 Male USA/France #8 Alex DeLargest, Oct 18, 2022 Ok, level 25 now. Cannot stop playing. Honestly, ditched the controller because the touch controls are very well implemented and frankly easier when under time pressure. Some changes to the controller mapping would help address this, but it’s really not a problem. This is one of the best mobile gaming experiences I’ve had in years. This and EverCrawl, what a week!

Alex DeLargest Well-Known Member Dec 16, 2010 346 122 43 Male USA/France #11 Alex DeLargest, Oct 19, 2022 Thinking about it more, it’s really kind of like one of those Japanese train sims where you have to control the speed through the corners and grades and stop appropriately at the platforms crossed with Crazy Taxi. You have to use your signals and watch your speed and not hit things, but there’s much more flexibility in the system than a rail sim. Like, speeding alone won’t sink you and I’ve actually gotten some five star results while racing along, missing every optional bonus for staying under the limit. Blinkers, now that’s a whole ‘nother story… Anotherkellydown likes this.

I’ll play a few stages and gain a few levels and when I go back to it, my profile has reset to what it was when (or right after) I updated. Multiple times this has happened, on both my fully updated iPad 9th and iPhone 11pro. Guess I’ll wait for a fix. Level 28! Edit: And now it just unstuck. Leads me to think it’s likely a GameCenter/iCloud issue. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
