Love their Game Dev Story, and Mall Story Demo was really fun. However the switch entry price for these are a bit high at $12 a pop. $6-8 would be much more fair
Looks pretty cute. Haven't played a tycoon style game for ages so might have a look at this as long as it's less than $20 AUD. There's so many games on my watchlist around the $20-30 price point it's getting tough to pick something each month or so. I can't buy them all unfortunately.
@bolt05 Mall Story has a Demo, and I think so does Game Dev. Both those I can recommend, but haven’t played all the Kairosoft games so not sure if this one is as fun. Know Dungeon Village is a lot more confusing and less fun than either of those two though.
Kairosoft games are fun, but are a bit samey and derivative. You figure out the gameplay variables after a couple hours, continue to do that the entire time and you have enough money to do anything. Tycoon style games succeed when players are put on the ropes or at least offer creative elements to supplement challenge, which these games don’t really do.
I wish we could get the Snes version of Theme Park on Switch. Such a good game.
@SpacedDuck and SimCity! Honestly this and my GBA VC of Castlevania Circle of the Moon / Aria of Sorrow are my biggest regrets for trading my Wii U in.
This looks promising. If it's anything like Theme Hospital my wife will love it!
Good to see I'm not the only one liking their stuff. I've been enjoying Dungeon Village a lot. Might buy that Epic Space game too.
Charging twice the mobile prize is ridiculous for these types of ports.
I'd be interested in buying them but why should I do that if they're much cheaper on Android?
@SpacedDuck Why not Theme Park proper, as based on the PC version?
@Dm9982 yeah I like their games too but 10€ is harsh...
@MisterDevil Yeah Kairosoft is a very good dev for Sims. Hopefully there’s a sale soon or bundle pack(s) to make it a little closer to mobile price. I snatched a handful of their games on the App Store when they were on sale, after I played and loved Game Dev... got Venture Town and Dungeon Village. Wish I woulda grabbed Mall Story, lol
Not played any of their games, but I love that pixel art, looks great!
Might have to check this one out
Played thru Grand Prix Story once (it's not that long) but they mention at the end of the 1st play thru that certain game features wud "change" if u play another game (a 2nd play thru), I did not play for a 2nd time tho...its fairly addictive, not that difficult and fairly enjoyable...personally speaking they do wat they do fairly well and if it's "your scene" then u shud try at least 1 of their games.
Sorry that was on the Switch.
@Doktor-Mandrake U should...
@Dm9982 U say Dungeon Village is a no go or just a bit more difficult to understand ?
@Dm9982 Everything is more expensive at Nintendo, I'm here in South Africa and the pricing is insane, but in the eshop a lot of discounts can b found away from the triple AAA titles...personally I just prefer 2 play on the Switch as opposed a mobile phone...but I agree with wat u say, it's a bit of a joke 2b honest how they just overcharge us...
@Sim1 Yeah I heard you guys get really gouged on game prices! Dungeon Village isn’t bad, and as far as I can tell none of Kairosoft games are bad. Some are better, or more appealing than others, but that’s personal preference. Dungeon I found to be a little more “boring” than Game Dev Story, and a little more confusing.
Luckily I think most of their titles on the eshop have demos. I know Mall Story does. I’d suggest demoing them all if ya can, then add to wishlist the ones ya liked.
@Dm9982 yeah I like their games too. it is just... so somehow unique in their own way
I have only played venture town but want to grab the rest too
@MisterDevil I think Mall Story will be my next get of theirs.... I do highly recommend Game Dev Story. That is probably the best Game Development Sim on the market actually. Simple to understand, with the ability to even eventually develop your own console. Really satisfying experience. I’ve probably done at least 6-7 run throughs.
For those that have played The Sims games, Game Dev Story is basically like that except only one job type - game development lol.... hire some workers - train them up -
Make a game - repeat till they’re maxed out then have em switch jobs (like cider to musician) and repeat the process till all jobs are maxed and you’re making epic games.
@Dm9982 Now I have to check out Mall story... It already caught my eye but you make it like reaaaaaaaaaaally good. They brought over another game
@MisterDevil Yeah it’s a good dev company. I haven’t tried Mail Story yet, aside from Demo. But it was good. I ended up getting Project Highrise before Mall Story. Both clones of SimTower which was an amazing game back in the day. Spent sooooo many hours on that, lol.
If you want simpler design and control, go Mall Story.
More depth and options, go Project Highrise.
