Loco Mogul Game Review
Those
of you who remember the fabulous Railroad Tycoon series may be a
little disappointed in this casual game offering, yet it isn't a
bad game in itself and great for those who have never played the
classic railway game. Loco Mogul is something different yet, tends
to bring memories of the classic, simply because it is a time management
game in the same game style. I still play the original Railroad
Tycoon on an old PC I have set up just for that game and Loco Mogul
did keep me interested for many hours and I will play Loco Mogul
more as time permits.
Set back in the 1800's wild west days, when entrepreneurs were
making fortunes from new ventures into unknown territories, Loco
Mogul brings 3 distinct strategy styles into the same game quite
smoothly. First you must survey the land, looking for areas that
may hold commercial prospects, then you lay your tracks and finally
operate your railroad at a good profit. Sounds easy, but don't be
fooled, this is anything but easy.
Loco Mogul doesn't have fantastic 3D graphics, but is pleasing
enough visually. Music is a bit annoying and the instructions not
that clear, although once you dig into the game you do get the gist
of what you need to do and the strategy you need to apply. Replay
value is great because there are plenty of random maps generated
that will keep you guessing where mines are situated, or towns that
have access to goods that you can haul. There is a sandbox mode
where you can learn the strategy needed to become a real railway
tycoon, or in this case Loco Mogul.
I like this game, but Loco Mogul may be something that some will
certainly not enjoy at all. Give the free download a try, even though
it will probably take all of the free hour to work out what you
need to do. The randomly generated maps take away the boredom factor
from the replay value, 3 distinct strategy styles make each map
interesting, and operating at a profit gives a good challenge to
the overall game.
