Community Insight:
Classic Oregon Trail but the twist is that you get multiple wives when you accomplish your objective! Or at least thats how we like to pretend! All serious: this game plays well and is well made. We even like the Mormon scripture and Jesus ending.
Havent been able to complete the game yet, but its fun. Its a simple game, not super fancy, but it doesnt need to be in our opinion. It is pretty difficult though, particularly when you have to cross rivers. Still, we find it enjoyable enough, and we would recommend it.
For less than $2, we were not expecting much. However, we found it to be as entertaining and challenging as the original Oregon Trail.
This has all the nostalgia of the original. Rey impressive from a single dev. No bugs, no ads, no micrtransactions. Just a $2 trip down memory lane. Thanks, Joshua.
We grew up playing the original. This game is pretty close. We downloaded the other new Oregon Trail game and it was written by WOKE trash with the mental disorder that believes history can somehow be changed. Its nice to take a trip down memory lane with this game and just enjoy a little challenge. In this version, our whole family died in the first 5 minutes. But, that is still much better than the WOKE trash from that other Oregon Trail game. Thank you to the developer for the hard work. We appreciate you sticking to the spirit in which the original game intended.
We were looking for a mobile version of the classic game, and nothing really looked the same. This one looked the best but we wasnt excited to pay the two dollars for it but Im glad we did, it was totally worth it! For one guy making it, we were really impressed that we didnt experience any bugs and there were even some improvements we like over the original game (like the clock for hunting and being able to end early if you shoot a bison or something). The only thing we were a little disappointed about was the ending which was a little unsatisfying because you cant compare your scores with anyone else (no leaderboard) but we understand the game is pretty unknown so Im sure there arent too many consistent players haha! Some of our friends downloaded it too though so at least we can compare that way.
Great clean application that will give you immediate nostalgia without in-app purchases or ads.
If you live Oregon Trail this is a good clone. Suggestion: Change the music to something more fitting if possible. Problems: If your wagon burns and you lose money it chooses a random amount to take from you potentially putting you cash amount into negative numbers. We.e. You lose $40 even though you only had $10 making it so you have -$30.
Its a really fun and good game but very near the end, it makes you get to a destination, then you dont move and you keep going to the same destination, and you cant press anything except reset. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
We thought it was fun at first but our score remained the same as it was when we first played it. Fording the river will kill everyone, and the list of supplies and options is short. It was okay the first time, just not the second and DEFINITELY not worth the money.
Mormon trail? Rly? We were tired when we bought this apparently.
This game is the original Oregon trail with all its simplistic and easy charm. However it lacks 2 key features 1. You cannot save your game so you have to play in one sitting lest you lose your progress 2. The game doesnt record your scores which is a real shame as it removes much of the appeal of replaying. It gives you a score it just doesnt remember them. Also the game refuses to explain its mechanics to you, which removes much of the strategy.
