Colt Express
Plan your hold up, adapt your scheme, get rich and get out! The game inspired from the famous train robbery boardgame!
Plan your hold up, adapt your scheme, get rich and get out! The game inspired from the famous train robbery boardgame!
It's an interesting puzzle game, with a nice memory element.
Against the AI, the game is a great replica of the physical board game - and that is all this game is.
The servers are no longer supported and there is no ability to add a second human player to any game.
Without a local 'Pass & Play' multiplayer mode, and the servers being offline - the game is fun for all of 15 minutes.
Jeu vraiment sympa et très bien adapté du jeu de société. Cependant, je ne recommande pas de l'acheter car il n'y a jamais personne en ligne pour jouer avec vous... à se demander si je suis le seul à l'avoir acheté. C'est bien dommage car il est très bien fait mais il est vraiment fait pour jouer à plusieurs.
Nice concept, but a lot more should have been done with it.
2/5
Hé bien pour ma part je trouve que ce jeu n'est pas déplaisant du tout, alors bien entendu nous sommes ici sur un petit jeu [b]Asmodee Digital[/b], qui est une fois de plus l'adaptation digitale d'un jeu de plateau, le célèbre [b]Colt Express[/b], où vous allez jouer une bande de braqueur de train à l'époque du Far West.
Le jeu se veut assez stratégique tout en réservant aux joueurs de petites surprises qui pourront rendre les parties déroutantes voir même parfois amusantes.
En effet, vous démarrerez votre partie, après avoir choisi le nombre de joueurs (minimum 3 joueurs, max. 6 joueurs) puis après avoir choisi quel sera votre bandit, chacun ayant une capacité spéciale (ex: "le Doc" commence chaque manche avec une carte en plus dans sa main, tandis que "Tuco" lui peut tirer du toit dans le wagon dessous), par braquer le train en vous faufilant tous dans le wagon de queue d'abord puis celui du milieu en fonction du nombre de joueurs.
A ce moment la partie commence, le train sera toujours composé de 3 wagons puis de la locomotive au bout, avec dans la locomotive le Marshall ainsi qu'une mallette à ses pieds (la plus grosse récompense du jeu, 1500$), le wagon de tête qui contient parfois un diamant et une bourse, puis le wagon du milieu qui contient un tas de bourses et enfin le wagon de queue dans lequel vous serez au départ, qui contient une bourse et parfois un diamant.
Votre but sera d'avoir le plus d'argent, donc de ramasser le plus de sacs, mallettes et diamants, mais également de les garder, et là ce sera bien moins facile.
Les parties sont relativement courtes, à 3 joueurs elles ne durent guère plus que 20 minutes, et seront décomposées de la sorte:
-Dans un premier temps on vous proposera une phase appelée "Le coup", où chacun à tour de rôle vous suivrez les instructions qui seront données en début de manche sous forme d'une affiche de l'époque avec des sigles représentant soit un nombre de 1 ou 2 qui veut dire jouer une carte ou deux de suite, puis encore un nombre 1 ou 2, parfois une action spéciale (qui peut être par exemple "le tunnel", où vous jouerez alors chacun une carte face cachée, ou encore "sens inverse", qui changera alors l'ordre des joueurs...), puis enfin on jouera alors une dernière carte et parfois une autre action spéciale (voir plus loin).
Les cartes jouées s'empilent en respectant l'ordre dans lequel elles sont arrivées.
-Vient ensuite la phase d'exécution, où les cartes sont alors toutes exécutées en partant de la dernière (la pile des cartes est retournée).
C'est ça qui fait que le jeu réserve des surprises, mais avant cela expliquons ce que les cartes représentent:
vous démarrez chaque manche avec 6 cartes en main, qui seront toutes des actions. Vous avez par exemple ramasser un butin, donner un coup de poing (s'il réussit il fera alors lâcher un butin à celui qui reçoit le coup dans la tronche!), tirer un coup de fusil, monter sur le toit etc.
Si vous décidez donc en première action de donner un coup de poing, logiquement au début du jeu il y a au moins un autre bandit dans votre wagon, le coup réussira donc, mais le soucis est qu'entre temps un tas d'actions seront jouées, avec certaines face cachée, ce qui changera l'emplacement des joueurs, du Marshall, et pourra ainsi créer des surprises, si vous décidez donc de donner un coup de poing à un joueur mais qu'entre temps il a filé sur le toit ou que le Marshall vous a fait changer de wagon entre temps, alors votre carte "coup de poing" se jouera maintenant que vous êtes seul(e) dans le wagon, cela deviendra donc une action morte (un coup de poing dans le vent, c'est exactement le cas de le dire!).
Bien entendu vous voyez ce que les autres jouent, sauf lors de l'action "tunnel", mais il faut avoir et de la mémoire et de l'anticipation.
A tout moment chacun peut piocher 3 cartes, mais cela comptera alors comme une action.
Vient ensuite la seconde manche puis la troisième, la dernière manche le jeu se jouant en 3 manches, avec à chaque fois un tas d'actions puis au milieu et/ou à la fin de chacune de ces manches une action spéciale tirée au sort (il y en a un tas de différente, toutes listées dans la section "règles du jeu" (en Français), comme par ex. "Les passagers se révoltent" (si vous finissez votre manche dans un wagon et non sur le toit, les passagers vous refilent une carte "balle perdue", une carte morte qui pourra alourdir votre main) ou encore "Le conducteur est pris en otage" (si vous finissez la manche dans le wagon conducteur vous gagnez une prime de 250$).
Enfin à la toute fin on compte qui aura eu le plus d'argent, on ajoute celui qui a joué le plus de cartes "tir au fusil" (ou au colt), ce qui donnera une sacré prime, et enfin celui qui est le plus fortuné gagne.
Petit aparté, le Marshall, qui au tout début se situe donc dans la locomotive du conducteur, est déplacé par vous, c'est une de vos cartes action que vous pourrez avoir en main ou piocher.
Ce marshall impitoyable a 2 colts .45 en main et tire à vue dès qu'il rencontre un joueur dans le wagon où il se déplace (ou à l'inverse tire dès que vous vous déplacez dans un wagon où il est, ce qui peut être difficile à prévoir s'il s'est déplacé entre temps!)
Le jeu peut se jouer via internet, je ne puis vous dire si il y a du monde je n'y ai jamais joué comme ceci.
Comme je le disais les règles, comme le jeu, sont en bon Français, le tutorial est vraiment bien fait, et qu'y a t il de plus à rajouter?
Ah je viens de réaliser que le jeu ne se vend plus, mais pourquoi je ne le sais, ce qui laisse donc malheureusement présager du pire pour les parties internet.
Du coup mon évaluation tombe un peu à la flotte..!
Allez tant pis, je la laisse.
關閉遊戲會卡畫面,
遊戲機制本身是玩心理博弈,但是落後的玩家能反敗的手段太少,
人少只要翻船一次就很難贏,人多基本就在看運氣,
平衡和優化都很尷尬的遊戲
Fun
Dead game. Probably best on TTS at this point.
Gute Umsetzung des Brettspieles, Taktik und merken, aufpassen: geht nicht mehr online da Server down
It's a fun (board) game, but it looks like Asmodee has abandoned it. You cannot log in with your Asmodee account, the game simply freezes on the login screen. Strangely, if you browse Asmodee Digitals's games here on Steam, you won't find Colt Express in the list, so something's definitely going on with the support of this game.
You can still enjoy the single player experience, though, play through the stories of the different bandits, or play a classic game, but local multiplayer is missing, and online multiplayer doesn't work because of the server-login issue. So... in its current state, it's not really recommended.
Cant connect the online multiplayer, just use in one pc against the bots...
Dont buy it!!
the steam charts say no online player.. so dont buy, the creators abandoned this game!
It doesn't work at all. I cannot login and the game will not start.
Mechanika jest trudna do zaimplementowania tak aby gracze AI skutecznie konkurowali z graczem. Twórcy nie potrafili sobie z tym kompletnie poradzić. Postanowili sprawić aby gra nie była losowa. Dobór postaci i kart nie jest losowy tak jak w oryginalnej grze. Mam obecnie 48 wygranych gier Cheyenne i trochę innymi postaciami. Nigdy nie dostałem kartę uderzenia pięścią w startowych kartach. Gdy zagrałem inną postacią po raz pierwszy od razu w pierwszej turze dostałem od Cheyenne pięścią... Gdy komputer ma do wyboru kogo trafić prawie zawsze wybiera gracza.
Z dziwnych powodów w około 90% gier jest dodawana Belle. Nie wiem dlaczego prawie zawsze musi być, ale cóż gra nie jest losowa dla twórców wersji komputerowej.
Oryginalna gra jest bardzo grywalna, komputerowa jest bardzo zła. Nawet nie są stosowane zasady zachowania kart na koniec tury, bo przecież gracz mógłby zachować dobre karty, a bez tego skrypt potrafi oszukać i nie dać "losowo" potrzebnych kart, a szkoda tracić turę na dobór 3 kart.
因为买了桌游，所以觉得挺好玩的。但是这个游戏没有联机没有同屏，只能打弱智AI。
Un Juego tipo Slay the Spire sobre robos subidos a un tren. Tienes 5 personajes, cada uno con 5 mapas y ya esta. Las misiones o mapas van de robar un tesoro, luego que te lo quiten, tomar la cabina del conductor, etc siendo muchas veces el obj secundario ( y de parte el online ) quedar con el mayor numero de botin al final de la partida. Esta bien pero muy repetitivo. 6/10
I can see how this could be a successful board game, it's kinda fun and goofy and could be some good family fun. People aren't recommending it because the multiplayer is broken (game is no longer sold) and it lacks local multiplayer.
I think those are valid criticisms, but the game is also fun for a bit against the AI. If I ever see the board game I'll consider picking it up.
Un juego complejo pero entretenido, varias horas por delante reintentando los múltiples niveles de la historia o en multijugador (si encuentras a alguien).
针不戳，填补了线下找不到人玩的无奈
Faible possibilité de retrouver des joueurs, on est contraint de laisser une forme de matchmaking faire le travail.
Impossibilité de créer un salon simple à rejoindre, et bein entendu une absence totale de partie locale avec aucune compatibilité Remote Steam Play Together pour compenser.
Manque d'extensions comparé au jeu de plateau.
Verrouillage de certaines fonctionnalités derriere un contenu solo peu interessant.
En bref, ceci est véritablement le minimum syndical de portage de jeu de plateau, ce qui explique malheureusement le peu de joueurs présents en ligne.
Particulièrement dommage quand la version plateau de Colt Express est si fun.
The story line is like a solitaire game, and quite entertaining. To bad you can't play this with your friends without them bying the game. To few online games have the ability to invite friends without owning the game. If the price was mutch lower it would be ok.
Multi-player is not working (game crashes). No response from Asmodee when requesting support.
Another turn based card game, but this one is made for an online community that's long since dead.
Colt Express is a cardgame/boardgame that was ported to iOS that was then ported to PC on Steam, so it kind of went from "ok" to "terrible" to "terrible on a great platform". The theme of the game is the wild west, train robberies. You're presented with a train with a number of carriages full of loot. Your hand of cards have various actions like "Loot", "Shoot another player", "move between carriages" and so on. You choose which card to play and so do your opponents. At the end of all this, count up who has the most money looted, that's the winner.
Let's talk about this as a PC game. Resolution is locked. Controls are locked. Art assets are low quality due to the iPhone heritage of the game. That's enough to disqualify this for any consideration from PC gamers.
There's two aspects of any game. The mechanics of the game, and the interface that the players have with that mechanic. Poker, for example, is about randomly generated hands that players get, and the interface is the randomly drawn paper cards. If you keep the random hand, but remove the physical cards, the game still works, but it's streamlined, more pure. That's video gaming. The best video games put the players directly against the core game mechanic. We don't love games because of their interfaces, we love them for their mechanics. The less that the interface gets in the way, the better. Video games couple the player more closely with the mechanic rather than the interface, that's why they're so popular. Think about it. The best video games have the cleanest interfaces. What makes FPS games work so well? Think about their minimal, intuitive interface.
So here, we have a boardgame/cardgame conversion, and the focus of the developers has clearly been to keep, and emulate, the annoying physical interface, without bothering to improve on the mechanics or put the players closer to them. In short, what they did here wasn't even a good idea. This should have died quickly in the planning and evaluation stages.
So we have an overpriced iPhone port of a cardgame port that costs more on PC than it does on iPhone, which wasn't a good idea to begin with, of a board/cardgame that wasn't very successful to begin with, that was badly ported to PC and doesn't have any of the minimum requirements a PC game must meet to be worthwhile.
I don't recommend this.
muito bom e sincroniza com o do celular, mas por favor a DLC ?!?!?!?
This game may be fun as a board game, but it should stay that way. The AI is awful and the RNG for cards is awful. An all-around bad experience is awaiting you on this train ride. A waste of $6.99 if you ask me.
The game did not work for multiplayer. Crashed.
This game is unplayable as a multiplayer game which is the only reason we purchased it in the first place. "Network Error 17" is now a running gag in our group because of this game.
This game should be removed from steam until it's bugs are fixed.
God help you running this game on a laptop that doesn't have a dedicated GPU. It really hammers the CPU for no good reason. Don't expect to run a video chat program (Zoom/Google Meet) and this at the same time on most non-gamer laptops. You see this in Asmodee's other game Carcassonne. They can't seem to program an efficient game that doesn't use an entire core. Thankfully multi-threading seems to be outside their scope. Note, if your CPU is pegged at 100%, you'll get logged out/DC from their game servers.
No audio/video notifications when it's your turn. Considering you have a timeline limit of ~20 seconds to play a move, not getting notification that it's time to play a move is a serious problem.
There is no confirmation of your card play. Accidentally click or slightly drag your card? You are committed no matter what.
You can't mouse over/right click a card for a description of what it's going to do. If you already know the game, awesome, but how would you know that movement is different distances in the train vs the roof?
You can't control how long player turn timers last.
You can't view your special abilities while playing in the game.
Game variants/modifications are gated behind single player completion targets. So if you want to simply start playing with friends, you can't play with all the rules in the game.
Plenty of times during the game I had to make decisions without seeing the entire train because I view seemed to be pinned on my character.
Then there is confusing and buggy match making, Network Error Code 17, game crashing trying to play a second game after finishing a game.
Summary? This is just a bad conversion of the game. Buggy, incomplete, crashes.
El juego en general está roto. Se puede jugar, pero está muy roto. Las puntuaciones no salen, añadir amigos es complicadísimo, no se pueden saber las habilidades de cada personaje...
Cualquier precio superior a 1 euro por este juego, no merece la pena.
decent game but not for me. here you and a few bandits decide to rob a train so your looting, punching, shooting, and trying to avoid the sheriff. base game has you playing 5 rounds but each round consists of a few turns (how many varies) where you play one action card or draw new cards for each turn in the round. you do not do these actions until all players have taken all their turns for the round then characters will play out these action as they were played. this takes a little foresight on where you think you, loot, and other players will be so if you get knocked back a car or to the roof by the sheriff it could destroy the rest of your turn.
Colt Express is an interesting idea and has it's moments. for myself i don't feel it's something i would get into as once actions play out there is nothing you can do to correct missteps.
O jogo está todo cagado.
Ultra buggé (erreur 17 tout le temps quand on essaye de jouer en ligne), c'est du vol.
Отличная адаптация одноимённой настольной игры. Из минусов можно отметить низкий онлайн и отсутствие русского языка (хотя и без него всё понятно)
啊这个
其实原版桌游玩了几次之后就发现策略性并没有那么重要，反而比较看运气。不过初次上手桌游适合推新。
在电子版里AI都有点过于弱智...
Fun, easy to follow, challenging as well.
Simple but deceptively devious. Great to play with friends and family
needs more players
bad online mode :K
Muy bueno, igual que el juego de mesa, solo que esta vez de manera virtual. Si tienes amigos y no puedes reunirte con ellos, esta es la mejor opcion.
great graphics
There are a lot of negative reviews for this game and I can't really figure out why. Boardgamers are hard to please, I guess.
This is a great digitisation of the base Colt Express game.
Of course, it isn't as fun as playing the physical game itself, but it's also priced very appropriately. Grab it, grab a few friends, and you can’t go wrong for some hilariously chaotic fun, especially in times when physical get-togethers are less likely.
Ho, wow, what a disaster.
Okay, first off, this may actually be the best developed Asmodee Digital game I've played so far. Which is, naturally, like saying "this may just be the most appetizing looking three-week-old dumpster food I've seen so far".
This game is actually playable and, in fact, seems rather appealing at the start (in sharp contrast to the "should I laugh or cry at how bad this is?" response their other digital offerings all-too-swiftly evoke). Unfortunately, the game's issues are still pretty extreme (by non-Asmodee standards).
<<1>> Let's start with the fact that the AI is astoundingly bad. It's a predictive turn-based game, so it'd actually be extremely easy to code basic reactionary responses and then just mix it up a bit via personality archetypes and/or RNG, perhaps tied into the fact that cards are frequently played hidden. But, okay, difficulty is nice, but not strictly necessary.
But why are the AI starting turns off by trying to loot the empty floor? It's not like they didn't know it was empty, and would remain empty while looting. Okay, maybe it's a clever time-killing action.. no, wait, why are you running towards an empty end wagon? Why are you punching in that wagon? Oh, good, now you're looting an empty wagon again.
Let's see how the other AI are doi- no, okay, that was a mistake. They're just running into the Marshall. Over. And over. And over again. Well, I guess I can only assume this game's AI is intended to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of drinking bleach..
<<2>> The game has a campaign mode and a classic mode. Campaign mode is structured like a puzzle mode, but RNG-based card draws, along with the idiotically random AI, mean that the game mode is just an endless grind against bad RNG. If the AI was reliable we could maybe pass it off as a rogue-type puzzle challenge but, as-is, the mode is just bad.
Oh, but it gets worse because, of course it does. This is Asmodee, after all. The campaign mode is bugged. How bugged, you ask? Well, it's bugged to the point where we need Samuel L. Jackson to pop in, look around incredulously, and say "I have had it with these m*f*ing bugs in this m*f*ing game!". After which he'd then immediately follow up with "This game is a virus, and burning it is the cure." and "Given that it's a stupid-asṣ game, I've elected to ignore it."
Ahem, sorry, tangented a bit there. But seriously, every second campaign level seems to refuse to acknowledge actual wins, while randomly giving me wins when it shouldn't. Like one mission where I had to punch a guy off the train, but it kept not counting it, until that guy punched someone ELSE off the train, and hey, it suddenly worked [I'd punched that guy off previously, so it wasn't as simple as just being a misassociated quest flag]. Another mission had me fire a gattling gun. I had to hit three people on the roof. Not a single person was on the roof, but it counted it as a win when I fired the gun, despite not having counted my three hits in a previous attempt at the mission.
So, in short, not only are the card draws and NPCs RNG-driven, but the actual mission completion is as well. Hot dayum, Asmodee; You sure know how to innovate your games in the most undesirable of ways.
<<3>> Okay, so we've clarified that the single-player aspects are a complete mess. But hey, this is a multiplayer game, so it should be salvageable, right? Eh? What's this? The game has no local multiplayer? But.. that's easier to develop than online multiplayer, which is why so many games only have local and not online. And.. and this game actually works great for hot-seat, since accidentally glancing at someone's hand doesn't ruin anything, as you can't be sure how the cards will actually be played and you mostly will be seeing them as they're played anyway. The heck?
Okay, but surely online will save the game? Oh, you sweet ever-hopeful dear, you. Of /course/ Asmodee'd cover their bases. These guys are professionals, y'know. Kinda in the same way that Mario is a professional plumber, what with his forcefully shoving himself into every pipe he comes across. The trick is in doing everything people *wouldn't* expect of your role, while not accomplishing anything that's actually expected of you. ..huh, why did politicians just come to mind?
Anyway, online mode requires an Asmodee account, but it gives me errors when I try to register one (and that after figuring out what its password expectations were, since they weren't listed). Then, when closing out of the online screen, it gives "connection lost" error messages, which may just be a quirk, but doesn't strike me as being encouraging.
Okay, so I make an Asmodee account through browser. It gives me a totally random username but, thankfully, the game's "username" field accepts my e-mail. 0 to 3 players online at any given time? No active online games to join? Yep, saw that coming. Kept having to reset my password, as well.
<<4>> Bit of a trailing note, but you *will* need to complete the bugged out campaign to unlock all the game mechanics for multiplayer. While normally a negative, in this case we can be thankful that the campaign mode is incredibly short. Unfortunately, given the inflation caused by RNG and bugs, you can still expect this to take a few hours to clear.
---
In summary, the game has a solid, enjoyable foundation, ruined by.. well, everything. if you want a digital board game at the level of an unpolished flash game to fiddle around with, don't get irritated easily, and don't have high expectations, then this game would be worth picking up free, or perhaps even from a Tier 1 bundle.
I really, really don't recommend spending more money than that, if for no other reason than Asmodee Digital desperately needs to go under [so as to be taken over by someone more competent] (or be at risk of such, so they reconsider their mindblowingly skeezy, unprofessional practices] and stop terrorizing gamers with their.. incredible development approach. Seriously, Asmodee- go let some high schoolers (with a background in CS) code your games, instead. They really couldn't do a worse job. I mean, you gotta really try, to release games that are as broken as yours.
Ahem. But yeah, the game may actually be feasible if you've got several friends on-hand who are up for playing it online. But, y'know, with how broken everything else is, I can't guarantee that won't break on you as well. And really, this game has a fun enough concept, but we're talking "casual boardgaming". You may get an evening or two, maybe even three, out of it, and that'd certainly be enough if you only needed a single copy of the game or were able to get it free or cheap.
But buying 3 to 6 (you can't mix players and AI, or play with fewer than 3 players) copies of this game just for a few evenings of "Meh, I guess this is alright- I mean, I don't *hate* it.", all while facing the risk that bugs or other polish issues may lower that evaluation down further?
Again, if you can get this cheap or free, and you know what you're getting into, it's could MAYBE be worth picking up. But at the game's present state of polish, it should likely retail around $1.99, or maybe even $5 for six copies. It'd be the kind of game you'd pick up on sale for 40 cents. Y'know, the "Hmm. I'm not entirely sure whether or not a small candy bar would have been better than this or not.." price range.
Basically, whatever you do, just don't pay $7 for this. Light your money on fire, instead, if you have to. At least then Asmodee wouldn't be raking in cash despite deliberately and consistently releasing broken products. To once again reference the esteemed Samuel L. Jackson: "Yes, they deserve to die* and I hope they burn In hell!"
*(In the sense of "Go Under". No direct hostility towards Asmodee employees intended.)
Final Score:
"I ain't play nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces." / "[Avoiding a] Land of pain, misery, and strife"
( 2 / 5)
The actual boardgame is phenomenal. Gameplay provides a ton of laughs and a programming style turn order that I loved from the first time I played it. I bought it shortly after and love sharing it with everyone I can.
THIS though. Is trash. The single player campaigns just straight seem broken. I couldn't even figure out how to progress past the first challenges. Maybe it's me, but it seemed impossible. Clunky interface leads me to believe it's a mobile port, with no additional work done for its pc release. It just feels poor in every way. Disappointing. BUY AND PLAY the real board game. Not this.
Utterly awful, unusable UI. Don't waste your time. Buy the board game instead.
a fun game
Game is not robust against temporary connection lost of one of the players. They are thrown out of the game and there is no way to return to the game. Also, When playing a private game with friends, the timer bar is really annoying and does not add to a relaxed evening of game playing.
this game based on board game and it's super fun but sadly only one mod and there is i think 7 Expansion in board game in digital .ver only original game here is pros and cons list
pros
1- cross play which mean if anyone bought the game on mobile .ver you can play with them on steam or pc . ver
2- the game are so fun for party
3- great servers
4- nice arts
cons
1- there is only original game no Expansion hope they add Expansion as DLC's and people can buy it
2- while you play there is no music or song just sound effects of train and actions
3- when you press ESC while you playing online you can't go to sitting to control the sounds
Love the real game but this port is bad! Login issues, constantly have to change password. Games randomly drop to Error Code 17 whatever that is. Our whole group suffered from this. Get it together for what you are charging.
It's a fun boardgame but not a great video game. Lack of local multiplayer pretty much means I'll never play it.
This is great fun looking but it doesn't seem to have the functionality of some of the other games I have played like ticket to ride.
Shame you can't play multiplayer locally and more importantly you can't play with 2 players :(.
Why can't you setup a game with 2 players and have a bot as the third player?
Très bon jeu. Possibilité de jouer en ligne entre 3 et 6 personnes. En mode solo contre l'ordinateur et en mode histoire avec des buts précis
great game like the Story mode
A fairly light programming game which was fun for a while, but as a deeper strategy gamer, it lost my interest pretty quickly. Have not played in real life as I would rather spend time playing heavier games, but maybe one day, if I'm forced.
7/10
Олайн нулевой
This is a digital board game without pass and play. I bought it because I like the board game and I wanted to play it with some family over the holidays, opened it once to discover I could not play with multiple people at a table, and then never ran the game again.
If you are making a digital version of a board game, then pass and play is a must have requirement.
Close enough to the tabletop experience. Wish it had the expansions.
實體桌遊很有趣，改成電子化後簡化了設置、計算等，可以更專心享受遊戲本身，沒玩故事模式故不評論，但經典模式可以說很好的還原了桌遊的核心體驗，建議可以先了解規則後再入手，然後找個三五好友一起，絕對是一款罵聲連連，高潮不斷的好遊戲!!
I started Colt Express with boardgame. Hooked. Noticed quite soon that "CE" PC-game version was also available ..really nice surprise! Can be played like "snack", when waiting next board-game session :-)
Warmly recomment!!
On ne trouve pas ses amis ou autres pour jouer (quelque soit la manière steam/hamachi/direct IP...), donc ça n'a aucun simplement intérêt! Une bonne grosse arnaque...Et contrairement au jeu de plateau qui ne nécessite qu'un achat, ici il faut bien sûr que tous le monde se dote du jeu....Comme tous les jeu portés sur PC, préférez plutôt y jouer en vrai avec vos amis.
This game is so bad that it made me regret helping children or whatever foundations the JingleJam is meant to help.
Got this through a Humble Bundle. The second mission seemed... oddly difficult? Story mode doesn't seem very well implemented.
Got this from humble bundle.
It's ok game but nothing great. The card system is super frustrating, the story mode too hard and luck dependant. Could have been better, still not a bad idea. If there was a mode that would allow any action regardless of cards in possession i feel it would have been better, at least could plan properly.
it works. then suddenly gets stuck. the background still keeps going. you can still pause. but it will not go on.
a bit chaotic even without the tunnel thing. If this was more straightforward it'd be more fun, and perhaps also the Marshal pack... a Marshal roguelike deckbuilder could've been the best option!
Oh, and a true pass-and-play mode!
Not as much Fun as the real Boardgame, but still a good PC adaptation
Отличная реализация настольной игры. Очень не хватает дополнений. Правда, играть в настольную игру веселее, чем просто тыкать на карточки. Но для расслабления играется очень бодро.
Schöne Umsetzung des Brettspieles. Die Kampagnen sind gut zur Auflockerung, um auch mal andere "Strategien" zu benutzen und mal ein anderes Ziel zu haben, als der mit dem meisten Geld zu sein.
Buena implementación del juego. Una pena que no tenga Cop local
Adaptation sympa. Après je préfère jouer sur table.
一款电子化后比原版好玩的桌游.....除了节奏有点过慢且无汉化
No local multiplayer making this digital board game completely pointless.
It's a shame because it looks like a fun game to play for hours
A versão digital de Colt Express é uma ótima experiência para aqueles que não querem gastar o absurdo de quase R$ 300 pila que é o jogo em versão board game. O trem em versão digital é mais funcional e as missões em modo SP são muito legais! Nada muda na jogabilidade da versão física, porém, a interação na versão bg é muito melhor. Se você tiver amigos conectados por um discord ou skype, é uma ótima pedida. Vai arrancar boas risadas!
I been writing programs on and off for 30 years, and I worked on multiple jobs writing programs. My longest program, that I wrote solo, was around 20,000 lines of code. I never in my life, seen a program or a game, where a programmer messed up something as simple as exiting the application, until this game. (I've seen programmers screw up almost everything else, but never before something as simple as exiting a program)
You can NOT even quit this game. Pushing the quit button, basically locks up the computer, and you have to push Ctrl-Alt-Delete to terminate it. That says a lot, in my opinion, of the quality of the coding in this game. A button that is labeled quit should ONLY quit the program, not do anything complicated or "unexpected" other then exiting the program, it should never lock up the person's computer.
Pretty good adaption of the main game. However, I would only recommend if you're going to be playing with friends online. The servers are empty otherwise, and while I haven't played the "Story mode", I can't imagine it being much fun on top of there not being really any incentives.
Colt Express is a programming game where you play as 1 of 6 bandits trying to rob the most money from a train over the period of 5 rounds.
Gameplay-wise, you play cards according to turn order, from your hand. There are 6 basic abilities, Punch, Move L/R, Climb U/D, Loot, Shoot. Punch hits one of the other bandits in the same car as you causing them to drop a loot of your choice onto the floor. Move L/R allows you to move up to 1 train car L/R or up to 3 train cars on the roof. Climb U/D makes you climb up onto the roof or down from the roof. Loot picks up any 1 item from the floor. Shoot hits any target 1 or 2 train cars away causing them to gain a block card.
Each bandit has an unique special ability that only they can use. E.g. Belle, enemies must target another bandit with Shoot or Punch if there is another bandit in the same car as you.
Conclusion, Colt Express is passable but not addictive. It's a lukewarm response from me. I could teach kids how to play this but it would probably bore them.
[h1][b]PROS[/b][/h1]
1. Simple to Understand
Basic actions, no confusion. Playable.
[h1][b]CONS[/b][/h1]
1. Nothing Exciting About the Game
The theme is just Western train robbing. The actions are fairly simple and lukewarm.
Never tried the boardgame before, so went into it expecting nothing. Completed the tutorial and never want to play it again. It's ugly, boring and there's just too much randomness. I am pretty sure it's a fun boardgame, and might even work on mobile, but on computer, there's just so much games that are a better waste of your time.
poor quality
A very excellent adaptation of the popular board game. There are high-quality design and animation of the characters, good western music. This "Colt Express" has its own story line of every characters and comics for completing the stages. So, you have two ways of playing: offline with bots or with other people, which makes the game more interesting together.
Just bought this to play with my friends abroad. No ability to play as a two player game means we wasted our money. The board game supports two-player play, and you'd think that even if this game didn't then they could let you play with the AIs that you can evidently play against single player.
有名ボードゲームの移植作品
日本語対応なしですが、内容はほぼ同じなのでルールの説明等はネット中に落ちています
アナログゲームならではのコンポーネントの良さが失われているものの、身内でオンラインする分には十分です
値段も安いのでボードゲーム触ったことあればおすすめです
J'y ai joué hier soir en jeu de société chez des amis, du coup je l'ai acheté sur Steam en rentrant.
I almost didn't refund, but the turns took too long, and just a little bit too much luck
Why doesn't this have local pass-and-play multiplayer? Seems like a giant oversight. I would have liked to recommend this but that's a key part of a board game.
This is a very fun game, I just wish they would also release the expansions for it. For me, the expansions are really what made this game fantastic
This game has way too much randomness and luck to be enjoyable. Throwing a couple of dice would be more enjoyable.
У Asmodee как всегда чудесные цифровые адаптации настольных игр. Кольт Экспресс не исключение, все сделано на достойном уровне. Но этот онлайн... он меня убивает. Его просто нет. Настольные игры нишевое увлечение, а их цифровые версии еще более непопулярны. И обычно для меня это не проблема, т.к. покупаю такие игры для совместной игры с детьми или женой, но в Кольте нет pass`n`play. Или соло или онлайн. Однако как представитель цифровой настолки игра определенно качественная.
This is very good game. ANd very good adaptation of the board game.
But there is no players. No body play and no body look chat.
Also it will be good if you can make Mac version.
CHeers!
Super umsetzung des Brettspiels! Echter Kauftip! Auch für Leute die das Brettspiel nicht kennen. Da einfach zu lernen und ein immer spielbarer kurzer Zeitvertreib. Onliene noch geiler! Aber leider zu wenig Spieler! Weil da ist eigentlich die Stärke im Spiel!
Very good!
Nice Game, But the graphics is awfull.
El juego es exactamente igual que el de tablero con la estética muy acertada eso sí.... a dos jugadores no se puede jugar y en modo experto si no me equivoco tampoco. Hay opción de poner alguna variante pero no sé muy bien en que consisten estas y, no lleva las expansiones...
Se echa mucho de menos, poder agregar a los usuarios a steam ya que la cnatidad de jugadores es muy baja...
La verdad que hay cosas por pulir que yudarían a que tuviese "una comunidad" algo más activa
:D
Pour qui connaît le jeu physique, rien de dépaysant : c'est assez fidèle.
Au niveau de la réalisation, rien de folichon, c'est assez basique - mais dans ce cadre ça pourrait fonctionner...
SI IL Y AVAIT DES JOUEURS !
Or, fort est de constater qu'il y a rarement plus de 2 ou 3 joueurs connectés simultanément - et que donc les parties online sont impossibles - unique motivation de mon achat.
Surtout quand on s'apperçoit que l'IA est proche du protozoaire et fait n'importe quoi.
Déçu.
First of all, I want to tell you that I don't like to give a negative review. Some designers/artists/etc. probably worked very hard. But to be honest; I think there are boardgames on Steam whom I've played (and will play) more than Colt Express. So if you're into digital boardgames and are trying to figure out if this one is worth it... I would go for something else.
Nonetheless I shall start with the pro's:
+ nice graphics
+ easy to use: making moves is straightforward
+ has stories added to the classic game
But then... the biggest flaw. What in my opinion kills the game (eventually). The replayability is severly compromised. Other games may be pricier, but if I compare the price with the amount I have played them... You probably get more bang for your buck on another title.
Cause?
The multiplayer is very empty. And as a boardgamer, I like the "social" aspect of a game. Just having fun online with other people. But this is hard to do. The lobby is empty, no games running and almost nobody joins my games. I'll write something in the loby-chat, only to hear my voice echoing in this empty canyon and the tumbleweed rolling in the wind.
So in my opinion, after a few hours soloplay to get the hang of it, I'll play this game little. Because it's hard to find opponents.
Tolle Umsetzung des Brettspiels. Wer dies schon mochte, wird hier sicherlich auch seinen Spaß finden.
Für Zwischendurch, wenn man alleine eine Kleinigkeit spielen möchte, eine gute Sache. Musik und Artwork sind meiner Meinung nach ansprechend und stimmig.
Die Multiplayerfunktion habe ich nicht getestet und kann diese deshalb nicht beurteilen.
Einziger Nachteil für mich: Bei mir ruft die Bewegung der vorbeifliegenden Landschaft leider "Motion-Sickness" hervor, so dass mir nach kurzer Zeit übel wird...
Für alle die da nicht so empfindlich sind und Adaptionen von Brettspielen mögen eine klare Kaufempfehlung von mir!
I like the origial board game and its expansions, If you have a bunch of people to play with, this is like the boardgame. Not sure I will play with unknown ppl online tho.
I agree with the rest of the reviews. If you enjoyed the board game, this is a good game to play when you're on your own.
Dieses Spiel, was einem ausgezeicheten Brettspiel entspringt (Spiel des Jahres 2015),
macht von Anfang an spass! Was man auf jeden Fall vom Solo Modus behaupten kann.
Der Multiplayer Modus ist zwar nicht anders, aber dadurch dass sich momentan nur
wenige Spieler dort einfinden, ist es nicht unbedingt leicht (trotz integrierter
Chat-Funktion) eine Spielsitzung in Gang zu bringen.
Ansonsten gibt es aber nichts zu bemängeln. Es macht viel Spass :-)
This is a very good adaptation of the board game bearing the same name. Online multiplayer matches are particularly enjoyable providing that …
a) … you can find enough players
b) … you are not getting endless turns
At the time of this review, the game indeed suffers from a rather small online player base and some reliability issues. Cross-platform play (I can confirm that PC/iPad works well) will hopefully help the player base grow. The single player missions are a nice diversion, despite occasionally weak AI.
