Description
In Maglev Metro, utilize state-of-the-art magnetic levitation technology to build a metropolitan rail system, transporting workers and robots beneath the city. Replace aging Manhattan and Berlin subway systems with newer, faster, quieter technology. Enhance your rail system’s abilities so that your passengers arrive at their destinations first.
Efficiency is your key to success in this pick-up-and-deliver, tile-laying, engine-building game. Transparent tiles allow your route to overlap your opponents’ tracks, winding you along from station to station. Robots efficiently upgrade and adjust your abilities, leveraging unique goals to maximize points. By the end of the game, the game board has morphed into a modern subway map, with brightly-colored routes connecting stations all over the city.

Maglev Metro now automatically saves your offline games! To load a saved game, go to Offline Games in the main menu. If a saved game is found, you will prompted to load your game or start a new one. Note: Only one offline game is saved at a time.
There is also a fix for an issue where the AI would sometimes not take an action on the second to last turn of a game.
Maglev Metro Reviews
Overall, good presentation and manipulation on our iPad Pro 9.7. Have only played pass & play so far, and it works well. Issues/Requests to developers (in order of importance): 1) This app chews up power like nobodys business! After 1 hour of continuous play, this app uses 45% of our brand new ipad battery (with our old battery this game wiped it out in 10 minutes which is what prompted us to finally get it replaced). No other app comes close to this level of battery consumption. 2) It is very difficult to tell (especially if it is bright out, or the screen brightness is turned down) where you have placed commuters on the player board due to the player board printed colors being nearly identical to the commuter colors. Maybe give the commuters eyes or clothes or make the 3D effect much more pronounced. 3) It would be very nice to be able to assign names to player positions. Especially when doing 4P P&P it can easily become confusing as to which person is playing which player. 4) The scoring at the top of the screen is very confusing in local player mode. It took us quite a long time to figure out why the scores keep changing during pass & play. Once we figured it out, it makes perfect sense. But this should be explained in the (wholly inadequate) how to play help menu, since there is no equivalent of this (computer generated score) behavior in the physical board games manual. 5) The undo function works, but feels klunky. Some of the actions force you to complete all the units of the action before you can undue the action.
Implementation isnt bad as a whole, but we’ve found a game-breaking bug: the second coral station cant be built sometimes (once happened to a bot, once to me). When we drag the second coral from the selection area, the previously placed coral station disappears, then re-appears when we stop dragging.
Its a great implementation of the board game, but it has some game-stopping bugs: if we switch out to read our email and news for a few minutes, our game is lost without a trace; a couple of times it crashed, saying it was reporting a fatal error to the publishers; and once when we had pulled the last passengers, the bots turn froze without event the thinking indicator. We look forward to these getting fixed. UPDATE: Found another. Bot player built a track that cut off another of its tracks, then game froze.
The dumb Apple scroll up white line overlays the text at the bottom of our iPhone 12s display. Not a universal app. Im not buying this game a second, especially with all the issues. The interactive Tutorial keeps hanging. We finally gave up. Another young developer using their customers ad beta testers. Ugh!
Theres a lot of potential here, but for now its very buggy, you cant undo many actions before its the end of your turn, and if you leave a game for awhile it disappears.
Not easy to play as: – online Opponents have to remain in the app for games to continue (no asynchronous play) – games dont seem to save progress These two issues must be fixed.
Im enjoying the app so far. The tutorial is nice and the interface is very simple and easy to navigate. We have had a few times where our passengers have disappeared while loading/unloading if we try and look at the playerboard. Also there is no way to save a game so that it can be returned to later. Please add this feature! Most mobile gamers dont finish an entire game session in one sitting.
Interface and gameplay are great! Clear and usable on both the iPad and the phone. But the A.I. Is really weak. Im new to this game, never played it before. We’ve played three games through against the Robot opponent. Lost the first, then won the next two easily. Add a higher level opponent and this will push it to four or five stars.
