Train Merger

If you just want an amusing way to fill time while you're not doing much and like the idea of a virtual toy train set on your device, this is a great little game. Simple and colourful. There are 'a lot' of adverts, but not really more than I'm used to with cute free games like this. Updates come reasonably regularly if you're patient. :) My only slight 'complaints' are it can eat battery a little (plenty of games chew up a LOT more), and it seems a small few users have found a way to cheat(?) on the leaderboard, but these aren't big issues for enjoying watching your choochoo chug around.

3 days after release....I’m not sure what the goal is as there are ZERO instructions yet. Merging the engines is obvious but no idea how to get cars. Trial and error and watching a video helped. Switching tracks is not quite as easy as it should be and needs tweaked for ipad at least as I have given up trying to switch tracks. The description said something about weather or changing conditions but I haven’t seen any of that. Tons of ads, but that is to be expected especially just after release. The part that is bad is that many times it is the same ad over and over. I think this has a lot of promise for train fans and could be a money maker if done correctly.

After playing this for awhile, it gets boring...like every merger game. It only has 20 levels. So, once you get 10 cars of level 20....you can do nothing else. But, the game does have a cute factor, and is like any other merger game...but with trains.

The only thing I’ve actually seen it do is remove the button changing to green to grant you a free upgrade/train. The income double and train upgrade/free train still show up but now you have to go to the train menu to do it, and there’s still ads. Ironically purchasing no ads, just made the game worse. One would think “no ads” would mean one could engage those things sans ads, which is why I clicked the purchase option.

If you play this game you will watch ads every 15 seconds no matter what you click on, or at least that’s what it feels like unless you pay for the ad remover for $.99. Sometimes, it will try to force you to watch an ad to give you something for free in game, however if you choose to not click that and try to click on something else you will still watch an add it will just be shorter. Other than ads it’s watching a train go around in circles and upgrading it, this game has a limited lifespan don’t waste your time or money.
