★★★★★ A few ideas
Fri Aug 20 2021 Tdg5 was ejectedThis a great game absolutely fun to play but there a few ideas that would make better and funnier. I think it would be a good idea if you had the option to shuffle characters when choosing your party because I always find myself choosing characters I don’t want and having to exit out come back all over over again it can get annoying that’s why I think it would be a good idea if we had the option to shuffle the characters. Also I could see duck hunting in this game as well dlc’s like the California trail and Mormon Trail. Another idea that would be very useful is when your character leaves to go get help but then the other character dies and you get to continue your it would be helpful if that character came back and continued the journey. I would like to see multiplayer added into this game I know that doesn’t seem like a thing would include but what if you could travel in groups instead of four people it would make the more exciting and fun if you were able to play with friends online. Another thing would to have a bigger party of six or five I think having more people would have better chances of getting to Oregon but it make harder because having to take care of more people and spending more money. One last thing you guys should make an ASMR mode just traveling and listening to calming sounds of nature.
★★★★★ I love this game- a few suggestions
Wed Feb 07 2024 Elizabeth, 9This is the highest quality game I have ever played, and it is super fun. However, I have a bunch of ideas that would make it even better. To start, it would be nice if the wagon accidents and broken limbs were more moderated, because an issue I have is that the second I leave a fort, something bad happens to my party. Also, many of my characters will get a broken limb as soon as I restore their health again and heal them. I find this to be very frustrating, and would appreciate if there was some sort of algorithm you could install to fix this issue. Second, it would be really cool if children and pets could be included. By pets, I mean a dog or farm animal, and in some special journeys when you are able to use a horse, I would like to have that option for the main journeys like Oregon and California Trails. As for children, when you get to select your characters, it would be cool if you could choose children to join your group. The kids could have only one trait and no skills, and the limit per group could be two or three, but I think it would be a lot more realistic and fun to have more of a family element to the game. Also, other main journeys like the Mormon Trail would be really fun to complete. Overall, this is an awesome game and I hope yall read this.
★★★★★ I love this game❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️a few suggestions
Sun Mar 15 2026 Piscesdaffodil16I literally love this game and it is perfect for me because I love history especially how people went west. An idea for another journey is the Mormon trail so from Illinois to Utah but you don’t have to do that I love the game how it is I have made it to Oregon 2 times now and I have beat the Chisholm trail 2 times I think. I love how when you make it to a fort it shows a little animation of what is going on. I don’t know why other people are complaining about this game it is the best I would really appreciate it if Little Mary could survive if you gave her enough medicine (it makes me sad). I would like if you added kids in the game and there could be traits just for them like whiny, chaotic, grateful, etc. I have seen reviews for ideas for people in your party getting married but I do pretend their married by giving them the same last names but I love the idea for kids on the journey. I am actually am obsessed with this game I haven’t been playing often but that’s because I’ve been busy lately. I like this game a lot people need to make the 4.8 rating a 5 because this game is so great it gives me surprises when people get shot or bitten by snakes. Please reply to my comment I would like a comment on my rating.
★★★★★ Nature Trail Journey
Sun May 09 2021 Athena12I keep seeing the Devs suggest this “relaxing” play mode to players criticizing how hard the game is in regular mode. However; I have played the Nature Trail Journey twice now and I have gotten wiped out on the first river both times! I don’t know how this is supposed to be “easier”, when I was able to beat the regular mode with 3 of my party members still with me when I got to Oregon City on my first go? I think if you are going to offer an easy mode, it really should be much more easy than the regular mode. Maybe give every river a ferry option and make money more easy to come by?
I bought the most expensive wagon on the Nature Trail Journey, whereas I had the mid-range wagon on my original game in regular mode, and I could not see any significant difference in the resistance to wear and tear on the more expensive one. Maybe you could make the wagon status bar read more like the health, stamina, etc... bars for the characters? I would also like the benefit of using wheel grease to be more clear. For example, if it was more like the bars for everything else in the game, the grease could restore 2 or 3 segments in the bar - and a fuller bar would significantly decrease the likelihood of a breakdown?
This game is so pretty, fun, and has got me hooked so far - but I can see what the other commenters are talking about, and I can tell that I’ll lose interest in the game pretty soon if I keep running into these inconsistencies.
★★★★★ 😍 One of the best games ever! And a few ideas
Thu Jan 06 2022 bn@#Hi Developers! You must be the best game designers of all time! Because this is one of the best games of all time! 😍 This is a super super fun game. It has choices you can make and you choose your party members and when they die you can make Them a grave stone! I even have a favorite character! 😎 I totally LOVE this game and I give infinity stars to it! You don’t even have to use real money for anything! It’s a challenging fun game. I play this game every day for a loooong time (Not kidding or exaggerating) OK, Now some ideas: Since you can see trail weddings (and Ava’s and Douglas’s wedding) (and random ones too) I think you should be able to have one girl and one boy from your party get married! And then give birth to a baby! And the longer you travel the baby is growing up while your traveling! And turning into a kid! (Maybe even a grown up after they turn into a kid) And then in the character selection you can pick already kids or already babies 👶🏻! 😃 These ideas were inspired by the thing you can put on the gravestone that says Our Only Child, (Then it puts the person’s name obviously) But if there are no children or babies how can I use that ?! Bye best game developers ever! P.s. call me Doggie

★★★★★ Fun but unrealistic
Fri Jun 04 2021 Gspark27I really enjoy the game!! I even enjoy the challenges that come along the way! The problem is, it seems that every move i make leads to an inescapable casualty. I can understand that the game is supposed to emulate what the people who traveled the Oregon trail went through, but the amount of injuries and wagon break downs is just unnecessary. I wouldn't mind it if there were a strategic way to avoid it but there isn't. Even when it comes to the wagon breaking down iver time grease hardly does anything. In fact, during one of my play throughs i used grease and literally not even a moment later my wagon broke down. Also, when i traverse rivers the odds are never in my favor. Several times ive had a 70% or higher chance of getting across and out all those times the only time i did was when i had close to 100%. Thats just unreasonable!!! I really enjoy this game, but the difficulty being astronomical just makes it not fun to play. Like i said adding strategic elements to make things less likely to go bad (stretching to prevent exhaustion, checking the wagon to prevent food from going moldy and snakes from biting ur ppl, literally ANYTHING to prevent disentery, better wagon grease to stave off wagon malfunctions, etc.) would make it being so difficult not so much of a drawback cause there'd be ways to combat it!
★★★★★ Could be so fun
Wed May 19 2021 LagamorphwarperThere are parts of this game that are very well done, but several things are holding it back from being a fun experience. I really appreciate the attention to detail with historical figures, and I like the green text, which appears to be a nod to the old text-based games. That said, there are some gameplay issues: -The different wagons have different storage capacities, but as far as I can tell that’s about it. The most expensive wagon seems to experience damage to its sections just as fast as the least expensive wagon. -Character traits often contradict each other, and nearly all characters have events where they sleep in the wagon because they have the “wily” trait, even if they really don’t. -The biggest issue is probably with injuries. I’ve done multiple playthroughs, and no matter which course of action you take, if the wagon rolls over somebody’s foot, it is almost certainly a broken leg. Wagon hit somebody? It’s a broken leg, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Not only that, I have had two broken legs occur spontaneously; they weren’t announced, they were just there in the characters’ status. -Making money seems really, really hard to do. The skins are the only thing you can sell for cash, and they sell $5-6 each, which means you need to sell a dozen of them just to buy one set of shirts. But skins are also the only means of sealing your wagon for river crossings, and you’ll need dozens of them for that over the course of your journey. -I’d also like to see more on water rationing and control. Prompts that you’re running out just for a dysentery roll seems lacking, somehow.
★★★★★ Great Game, Fun Timewaster
Fri Apr 30 2021 benruess08This game is one of the most fun games I've played in a while. I had rather low standards for this game, because I have played other versions of this game and didn't really like them. When I decided to give this game a shot, I instantly fell in love. I have already put 6 hours into this game, and here is my review.
This game is great, it captures the aspects of so many things perfectly. It makes it seem like you are in the game, walking along with your party. It keeps hunting in the style of the old games, but fixes it up a lot and makes it way more balanced. I love the way that you can trade with other people at landmarks. This game took most aspects from the original, and refined them, and added more.
This game captures how difficult, long and grueling the oregon trail actually was. Whether it's drinking nasty water and getting sick, having low heigine, getting exauhsted, or litterally getting so bored that you storm off, it captures it all perfectly. There are snakebites and mites, biting at you constantly. You have to save up medicine, meat, and more just so that your party members don't get sick, or lose health.
Yes, it does take a long time to beat, and it is pretty difficult, but other than that, it s a great game.
