4 stars because not all achievements are working properly.
Reviews for "Rail or Die"
I should get all the Medals because I did everything they asked for but still don't get them. It's the same problem as Saltig comment. But I have not died once in my run, and It's fun. I'm going to give it half a star because of the Medals.
Edit note: Okay, You have full stars now, and thank you for giving me Medals.
Pretty good game. I found this to be fun and engaging but it can get repetitive sometime after an hour of playing but I enjoy a lot. My main problem was the medal because I spend 2 hour getting everything from the MK2 to the MK3 turret, HE and AP turret and manage to survived for 50 days but once I reload the game page for some reason I didn't get the medal, is it because I die once in my run or was there a glitch in the system?
It's fun, mostly. I found the combat to be smooth, engaging, and generally well executed. It does get too difficult, too quickly, around day 17. This is an approximation because I did go backwards at one point. This is also only my opinion. It's quite possible that I'm just not terribly good at the game. The "storm" following me gave a well played sense of urgency. The building/upgrading mechanic seemed convoluted. The upgrading system even seemed a bit boring. This may be why I died, of course. I only earned one medal, and it didn't get awarded. That frustrated me. Your game shows talent, and it is obvious you put a lot of very effective work into it. I might not particularly like this game, but it is, overall, well executed. I'm going to go see what else you've done. I'm curious to see what you do next, also.
Alright here goes: Overall it is pretty good , I like the art and the controlls feel smooth. I think there is a good balance on the ammount of supplies you get and the ammount that is needed to upgrade your equipment.
Now about what additions I recommend it is quite long but its your fault for asking for ideas ;) :
1st) When you go back and there is a storm there are no visualls to indicate this, there really should be something , like if you are on the outskerts there is rain and if you go close there is a torrential downpour with lighting.
Asside from the enemies having more health there isnt much difference gameplay wise for the storm so it would be cool if there was a special enemy for the storms, (maybe a gaint bird?). Additionally maybe the storm makes it harder to see the enemies. But it should make it harder to aim your guns (taking control away is super hard to make good).
2nd) Ok the H.E. turrent is cool but there is no real reason to have it if you have the MG turrent MK3 since the smallest enemies can be taken down with the same ease with either gun. Instead of changing or removing the gun how about this idea for a new enemy!! A swarm of tiny birds that do damage to your train as a group ( you need to take down at least 90% of them and then they flee it would be quite bothersome to have to kill every single tiny bird) with them the H.E. turrent would be essential, you already kind of need to switch between the normal turrent and the AP turrent for the big birds and the swarms so it would be a reason to have all, but since the mk3 turrent is already usefull for all cases players who get confused wont need to worry too much about making the special turrents (they just have to aim better).
3rd) Its cool that you can decide the route, so here's a few ideas to make it more interesting (maybe).
There can be routes where the railroad doesnt go forward but it goes 'up' or 'down' , this way you wont be running away from the storm , but there could be supplies you want to get so it may be worth the risk. If you want an extra element to make the game harder they could come in the form of coal for the train and food/water for the player character. If you mess up your routing and you run out of food you will need to take a detour to a route that has food but you will miss out on good supplies of another form. Also you could carry supplies for other people as a mission and when you reach your destination you get rewared. If you add the need for coal then you could upgrade your engine so that it burns less fuel. Of course adding the need for fuel would probably be more bother some than fun, but oh well
4th) Now, when you get evey upgrade , there really sint much else to do, you just keep going
with no end in sight ( at least i think so I have gotten to day 51). So how about you make it so that the goal of the game is to leave this country of terror birds. In order to go through the most dangerous parts you need to have upgraded your train. If the game has more than one difficulty mode you can either escape at your leisure or you have a time limit (more like a railway limt I guess , you can delay your escape if you take longer routes.
Thats kind of it.
