What EBP Is Not
|
- Not motion sickness inducing: best modern train game for motion-sensitive players
- Not a train simulator or action game, EBP is a turn-based strategy game
- Not sluggish: from EBP start to game play takes less than 5 seconds on most devices
- Not bloatware: compact, efficient design makes things easy on you and your device
- Not scamware: no in-game purchases needed to facilitate game play
- No awkward, clueless, help-devoid user interface
- No subscription needed to continue play
- No advertisements to interrupt play
- No credit card needed for free 30-day trial
- No third-party account needed to play
- For your privacy, none of the user tracking, such as Flurry, often done by apps and online services
|
Future Proofed
|
- Just the game and a popular operating system like Windows needed to play, as simple as this gets
- No dependence on third-party services means EBP won't break when those services change
- Will not overflow display memory no matter how high future screen resolutions reach
- No real-time delays during play, so EBP can run as fast as future hardware can operate
- Can separately save an unlimited number of AI-played games per second
- Can access an unlimited number of saved games and maps without error
- Simple graphics mean EBP will still work when support ends for complex graphics drivers
