Kairosoft games (addictive simulation games in general) - Games

Hi there :) I recently got hooked by all these little simulation games available for smartphones - especially those from Kairosoft (GAME DEV STORY)! Kairosoft (カイロソフト) is a Japanese mobile game developer that has created a number of simulation games for smartphones: - Game Dev Story [IMG]http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss111/chercabula/Pics%20for%20Blogposts/December%202011/game-dev-story-android-app-banner.png[/IMG] This game lets you start a game company and if you’re a gamer (like me), you’ll finally get to try your hand at making your own games. You can also win game awards and even make your own console. - Dungeon Village [IMG]http://static.androidnext.de/dungeon-village.jpg[/IMG] Traditional city simulation with RPG mechanics and systems. Dungeon Village specifically tasks you with creating a town that can support adventurers. You'll build armories and item shops, buy weapons and armor for visiting heroes, and persuade people to stay in your village forever through clever planning. - Epic Astro Story [IMG]http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss111/chercabula/Pics%20for%20Blogposts/December%202011/epic-astro-story-kairosoft-android-market.png[/IMG] This time around the goal is to develop an entire planet by harvesting its resources, exploring the natural surroundings in order to expand and then have good relationships with the nearby planets to promote tourism. - Grand Prix Story [IMG]http://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/image170.png[/IMG] In Grand Prix Story, you take on the role of race team manager, developing and customizing cars, entering teams into races, and cultivating a stable of elite motorsport drivers. - Hot Spring Story [IMG]http://i567.photobucket.com/albums/ss111/chercabula/Pics%20for%20Blogposts/December%202011/hot-springs-story-kairosoft.jpg[/IMG] This game is set in Japan, using also their currency but you don’t need to be Japanese in order to setup your very own day spa/hot springs spa. Your main goal in this game is to expand your spa, attract customers and investors and eventually rank very high in magazine reviews. - Pocket League Story [IMG]http://stashow.net/images/reviews/plstory/plstitle.png[/IMG] The player is given an up-and-coming soccer team. From the team facility, the game allows you to manage things like practices, players, buildings, and equipment, tournaments, sponsors, strategies, and several other aspects of your team’s journey to the world championships. - Pocket Clothier [IMG]http://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Pocket-Clothier.jpg[/IMG] A clothing shop management sim. Go from quaint corner shop to world-class brand! Ever wanted to run your own clothing store? Now you can! - Pocket Academy [IMG]http://www.thesavepoints.com/wp-content/uploads/GU-DO-Pocket-Academy-iPhone-iPod-touch.jpg[/IMG] Make your dream school in this management simulation game! Tailor your personal academy as you see fit, erecting classrooms, making clubs--even deciding this week's hot couple! - Mega Mall Story [IMG]https://lh3.ggpht.com/xZF7VHLp6eqgk2I0fopu1r2XGSprbIW2UtGxTXxlobORK18e2Kb-gEcdJRRIyctTMGg=w705[/IMG] Design a towering mall of mega proportions! Attract droves of customers and elevate yourself to 5-star status in this mall management simulation game! - World Cruise Story [IMG]http://codamon.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/f-1024-01.jpg[/IMG] Captain a luxury cruise liner, sailing the entire world while entertaining VIPs! Deck your own ship with everything from lavish suites and first-class restaurants to casinos and hot tubs! ___ Anyone of you ever played those? :) I fucking love them and pretty much play them all the time - if you never heard of any of these games, try Game Dev Story first! (There are free/lite versions available for each game afaik.)

I love all of their games. They truly are addictive.

i like em but they're really expensive for mobile games. Grand Prix Story is still probably one of my favorite iphone games though

Game dev story is my favourite mobile game of all time

I really enjoyed Game Dev Story, my only gripe is that there's no big events past the main "story".

Epic Astro Story is really lacking in terms of features. Don't buy it.

Added Pocket League Story! I enjoyed Game Dev Story the most. Pocket League Story is what I'm currently playing - it's good, too :)

Playing Gamedev Story most of my time on my iPhone when im in the train. Are they ever going to finish Gamedev story 2?

I haven't played any others but Dungeon Village is probably second best right next to Game Dev Story.

i like dungeon village and game dev story but game dev story is fucking super confusing sometimes when i put some1 on graphics, well the artist of course i get maybe 5 points and the next time she gives me 20+ points or if i outsource it to the most expensive one i get like 11 points. and i give them lots of 'Dead Bull' help how do i play game dev story properly all i know is people eat my shitty "DLCs" up in it

GameDevStory was awesome, though after like 10 years in the game, it get's boring since nothing new (consoles and such) comes out and I feel like I'm just adding fuel to the dieing fire.

I remember getting Game Dev Story on a whim. Some of the best cash I've ever spent on the app store.

I would buy that shit in a heartbeat.

Kairosoft games in my opinion are some of the best mobile games. I had game dev story on my android and I loved it. Once I got my iPhone, I bought every single story game by Kairosoft. Definitely some great games. I'm currently playing game dev story and mega mall story. What we need from Kairosoft is a movie making game. That would be cool.

I've bought all of their mobile games and would recommend any of them to someone. Compared to each other though some a really lacking in some areas. Grandprix is my favorite out of all of them. It just seemed a bit more exciting to see them race and building the cars was fun too.

I was up into five in the morning playing Game Dev Story one time. Shit is so addictive. Might be my first Google Play purchase when I get my new phone!

Game Dev Story was my first purchase on Google play. [editline]25th June 2012[/editline] This shit owns

Game Dev Story 2 needs ONE thing to be the perfect PC game: Kickstarter projects.

I loved GameDev story so much, but all the other ones I have tried I didn't like. However, I haven't tried Dungeon Village. Is it good?

I love pocket academy and Game dev story. I'm gonna register on the forum just so I can try the beta. [editline]25th June 2012[/editline] holy shit you can sign in with steam

I played the crap out of Game Dev Story.

[QUOTE=Fkpuz Version 1;36489473]I loved GameDev story so much, but all the other ones I have tried I didn't like. However, I haven't tried Dungeon Village. Is it good?[/QUOTE] I personally loved all the other Stories, but thought DV was a bit boring. Probably not for you.

I loved the shopping mall one. got so addictive trying to get all the shop/floor combos together to make the *perfect* mall

Could someone upload some screenshots/video of Game Dev Story 2?

[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;36484656]Goddamnit, can't donate at the moment.[/QUOTE] You don't have to donate you just have to make a profile on the forum and read all the requirments.

[QUOTE=cdr248;36496675]I liked Dungeon Village. I find it alot better than Epic Astro Story.[/QUOTE] Will get Dungeon Village next, so many people like it :)
