Game Dev Story Positive Reviews

Fun! With that "One More Game..." addictiveness.There's lots of industry humor in this game, and the gameplay is quite addictive. You find yourself ready for bed, but you don't want to put it down in the middle of working on a new game product, so you end up continuing to play into the wee hours of the night. No stability problems, the music is cute, and the graphics are simple but fun. I'd really like to rate this 4.5 stars, but it's a great game, so it gets 5. Ideas that would *really* make this a 5-star game for me: * Optimize the interface for the iPad - right now it's just a scaled iPhone game. * More explanations about the need to hire a hardware engineer to launch your own console. * Knowing in advance if your workers won't be helped by certain types of training so you don't waste money. * A neat touch would be if the in-game graphics improved as the game consoles advanced. This is a highly addictive and fun game. I highly recommend purchasing this game to anyone who has any interest in the gaming industry and enjoys simulation games..Jave27Version: 2.43

Needs More Micromanagement!I absolutely love this game, I bought both this and Game Dev Tycoon to see which is better and without a single doubt this game exceeds the other by ALMOST every margin. The graphics, content quality, pace, and polish of Game Dev Story is without a doubt superior - however, Game Dev Tycoon has more smaller features that play into the development of a game and gives the player a greater sense of control in what they’re actually making. I would be willing to pay double the price of this game to have similar features in this, such as an option for graphics for your game, the ability to create custom engines, the CHOICE of engines, and so on. All that aside, I love this game and have become easily addicted to it in my free-time to the point where I’ve uninstalled other games I would have played frequently as they’ve become irrelevant after downloading Game Dev Story. Awesome game, developers! I hope you’ll look into updating and adding new features in the future, I would love nothing more than to have a perfect little tycoon game for mobile!.TheTylerMosesVersion: 2.43

Game Dev Story is a fun time sinkEveryone loves video games. Everyone has a phone. So logic would dictate that everyone loves games on their phone. But what if you could make games on your phone? That’s what you can do here. And it’s glorious. There’s so moderation to game titles and companies so you can let your freak flag fly or you can make a respectable and modern game company and make the games you would like to see. Of course you don’t actually MAKE the game, as is the case with most games from Kairosoft, but the sim life is the best life. I download this game, play for a bit, delete it after a while, and then I’ll redownload it and play again. Rinse, lather, repeat. It’s a fun game, not amazing depth, but if you have a cool 10-15 minutes here and there, you’ll be enraptured by the power of owning your own game studio in a world that does not give a single flying fox that your Game studios name is problematic. Play this game. It’s gonna make you happy..ObiWanBonJoviVersion: 2.43

A classic to return toGame Dev Story is an utter classic in game design. Fun graphics, lots of character, and an engaging game loop. Every couple years I come back to it for a play through and it is just as fun as the first time. I’d pay triple the price for this game. Also as a side note, I greatly prefer the original over the remake another studio did. The remake may look a bit updated but the lose the soul of what made the original fun. After you have played through once, I highly recommend pulling up a chart of the game type combinations online. The one “less fun” part of the game was always guessing what games types match, as some are obvious but many are completely inscrutable..Cory KleinVersion: 2.43

Game Dev Story... My story.I remembered playing this game back in elementary school... so I typed it in the App Store. I bought the game at around 10 o'clock in the morning & played. I kept playing, and playing until I saw I was in year 20. I had my phone on the charger so I wouldn't lose my progress in case my phone died. I looked at the time on my phone and saw it was 8 o'clock at night. At that moment came to a realization that I've been playing Game Dev Story for 10 hours. This game is well worth the little price that they charge, believe me. It was even difficult to write this review because I missed about 5 minutes of Game Dev time to write this. Buy the game..Joey NuchVersion: 2.09

Always fun to playI got this game a long time ago on a different phone. I saw it in my history of downloads and had to re download it again. This game is always a great way to past the time. True after a while playing the game you can feel like your just making games over and over again but if your like me you will try to beat the reviews and your own company every time you start again. This game is worth the money I can say that for any of the games you have find a style you like and you won’t be upset..Memnarch117Version: 2.43

An Old FriendI first played this game ten years ago, and after all this time, I still find myself coming back. No other mobile game can boast that for me. The cleverness of the references and in-jokes make it clear how much the developers cherish and revere the rich culture and history of video games, and like any good game, this one is very hard to put down. Few games have been able to solidify their status as my “comfort games.” Game Dev Story joins the likes of Resident Evil 4, Perfect Dark and The Legend of Zelda in that book for me. Thanks for the years of joy and entertainment, guys..TomTheTraubertVersion: 2.43

Great game, easily gets you hookedGame Dev Story is a game that I have had on my phone on and off for years now, and every time I start playing again I find myself pouring hours into the gameplay loop. It has very solid progression early on, with enough challenges and objectives to aim for to keep you pushing towards your next goal. The late game does get a bit stale, but it can still be very appealing and fun. I consider this game well worth the cost in time and money..My App Is Bad and BuggyVersion: 2.43

Amazingly addictive; slightly obtuse systemsReplaying for the first time in 10 years and it definitely holds up. You can easily play this for hours straight. However, it can feel random at times how good you do at moments. If you’re really trying to do your best, you might be upset that, for instance a game with all 10s didn’t get Game of the Year one year, but the next year your game with only one 10 finally did get GotY (just one example from my play through). Still, this life like randomness could be a feature, not a bug, so it’s still 4 stars..WariofartVersion: 2.43

Very AddictingThis game is great! There are a lot of combinations for game customization and it’s a good challenge. The only improvements I’d make are scaling up the award prizes to how far along you are. The grand prize was great to win after so long but the prize money was negligible. Also, they could scale up the games of the week rankings. After a certain point you just win #1 game every time which is kind of boring. Also, they could change up the popular games every so often so the most popular choices don’t get stale..OfmouseandmanVersion: 2.43

Zero doubtI have zero doubt that this is the greatest mobile game ever made. I say this as a gamer, a fan, and a game studio owner(PC & console). Don’t hesitate, just buy it. Be warned though, it’s addictive. I have purchased the game on 7 different platforms and would happily buy it on every new platform for the rest of my life. I have at least 500 hours playing this masterpiece, so trust me when I say it’s more than worth it at $30 and it’s a steal at $7 or less..HemmingjayVersion: 2.61

The Goat, a decade laterI got this game on an iPod touch around 2013, and loved this game immediately. I wanted a new game on my iPhone a few weeks ago, and saw that this one was still available! I reinstalled it, and was immediately taken back to the first high quality phone game I ever played. Thanks to the people who made this for leaving such a wonderful app available all these years later for the same low price… and with NO micro transactions!!!.Y2k20Version: 2.43

The BEST use of my $5 in my whole lifeThis game was like $4 or $5 and the amount of enjoyment I’ve had with this game is worth several times the cost. I’ve been binge playing this game for maybe 10 hours now and still have no signs of slowing down. I did not want to sleep even though I had work soon because it was just too addicting! If you like simulations, this is a MUST try! I will look more into this Developer’s games. I am impressed.YubehrVersion: 2.43

Just AmazingI remember playing this game back when it was first released and loving every second of it. I decided to re download it again, and I can confidently say that it still has every bit of magic now as it did back when it first came out. Kariosoft has really captured lightning in a bottle with this game. The best part for me was being able to name all of my games; it just made the whole game come alive Play it. You won’t regret it..LagissadVersion: 2.43

The one that started it allI purchased this game when it first came out and after having played the demo. It does not disappoint at all. Perfect pocket sized sim and especially if you’re a fan of simulation with cute graphics and actual depth to the gameplay. Kairosoft are the masters of the phone simulation/tycoon game and that reputation is for good reason. Any time a game is available on the App Store i buy it immediately and Game Dev Story is in my top 3 favorite Kairosoft games..Dedicated87Version: 2.43

Amazing Game!This game is Awesome. It’s well worth the five dollars. If you looking for a heavy narrative driven game, this probably isn’t what you’re looking for, but a fun game overall. This game is a sort of sim rpg where you choose game elements and design a game. However, it requires no coding skills, as the games are all “made” by the computers. It has fun dialogue and lots of spoof names for real world games, consoles, and companies. You won’t hear anything but the best about this game from me!.MreisleyVersion: 2.43

MY Game of The YearI was introduced to this game all the way back in elementary school. I don’t even think I made it to the third office by my 20th in game year, but I loved the game. I’m now in college, and I’ve been doing different playthroughs and strategies trying to finally get Game Of The Year in my own way, not looking at guides or walkthroughs and I finally got it. A music motion game. This is my favorite game and the only one I’ve stuck with this long..YubfvgfggVersion: 2.43

Astounding gameI’ve played this game on and off for almost 10 years now. Every time I get back to playing it, it always has me hooked for HOURS ON HOURS! It is well worth the 2$ it takes to download the game. So many opportunities and choices for the game if you like this style of games. If not I recommend ANY other Kairo Soft game that they have in the App Store, because I’m sure you’ll enjoy any of their titles.Tioshiba-LLCVersion: 2.43

I love this gameI’ve played this game for years. I delete it only when I’ve maxed out everything, but eventually re download and start it over. If I were to change one thing it would be to add an option to skip through the dialogue faster just because I have seen it all and I try to speed through the game. It really is amazing though! Favorite mobile game..Cade JankinsVersion: 2.43

FunI've played most of the games made by this company. Game dev is the best by far. I have played it so many times and still play it from time to time. For those who complain about graphics need to understand the game was made in 1997, while there was still better graphics even then, this was the style they chose. This is merely a port from the 1997 Japanese PC version. Nonetheless great port and a great game..Matt285332Version: 2.43

The Best Game on The App StoreI LOVE Game dev story and i think the price is very much worth the experience the game takes a relatively implement idea and adds strategy and planning, and just joking around. My one small problem with the game is word limits for games and consoles and maybe how there’s only one console icon, other then that problems are very minor like running out of places to go and running out of good new employees, with some polish it could become undoubtly the BEST game on the App Store..HfngdungjdfndfigndfgnkVersion: 2.43

Best game I’ve ever playedHas to be the best game I’ve ever played. Nothing can probably beat this game. I remember in high school years ago when I’d stay up all night playing this game hoping one day I could make my own video games. Still a dream I have as a 27-year-old man. Skip Jones studios Will go down as one of the greatest companies to ever exist in the meta-verse. Thank you pokelawls for reviving this game for me and others..SkipJonesStudiosVersion: 2.43

Fantastic.I first got this game clear back in 2011. I didn't think they'd continue supporting it for this long, but I'm glad they do. Paradoxically, I have become basically incapable of receiving the Grand Prize. My games sell millions of copies and consistently rank at #1 but that Grand Prize always hovers just out of reach. In my latest save, it took over 20 years to get the GP. I don’t know if this is a bug or unfavorable RNG..HourGlass1995Version: 2.43

One of The GreatsSo weird to know I've been playing this game on and off since I was in middle school. This game was WAY ahead of its time and has aged great. So much fun, no micro transactions. Yes it's a loop, but like I said, these idle type games didnt exist. Plus, you can name each game, hire your own staff, make your own console, etc. You have total agency and create your own story. Wonderful game for people of all ages..181939372Version: 2.43

Awesome!Every single one of the Kairosoft games are great, so it’s very difficult to pick a favorite. Game dev was the first one I played so it has a special place in my heart. I am totally hooked and replay them over and over. Awesome games at great prices, I put so many hours into these games so you definitely get your money’s worth. Just note that you might not be able to stop playing and get some sleep or any work done.AreniaVersion: 2.09

Fair warning… it’s addictiveI wasn’t entirely sure what to expect when I saw the game but decided to give it a try. It’s pretty easy to pick up but, more importantly, it keeps things moving at a fast pace that keeps you hanging in for just one more turn. Before you know it, an hour or more has passed. It’s fun - and a bit dangerous - to come across a game this engaging..Blackjak77Version: 2.43

Old FlameI was reminiscing about all my old phone games I used to play in middle school the other day. This started my search to remember what this game was called. After many google searches, I found it! I was so excited! I downloaded it on Saturday and now (Monday) I've won the Grand Prize. It's addicting, I play it every chance I get. You won't regret the purchase. 100% worth it..A AngottiVersion: 2.43

Timeless for over a decadeI’ve had this game on my phone for over a decade. It’s incredibly fun and has a great deal of replay value, so it’s always my go-to game to play on a long flight. I’m so happy the developer has continued to support it for newer iOS versions this whole time. It’s just as much fun today as it was back then. Well worth the price and then some!!.Dolfinz524Version: 2.43

Fun and fun!While making up the titles for everything is pretty dang fun, creating a #1 selling Poncho Audio Novel on your own console is a whole ‘nother level of Fun. It’s just a shame no one will get to experience Rain Letters Returned. But you can experience this! Just remember levels 2 and 5 give you the 2 point upgrades to get levels 2 as soon as you can..QuadrafakeVersion: 2.43

Great for simple reasonsThis game doesn’t have a whole bunch like your other Game Dev apps. This one is simple and quick, I love every second of this game and have played it multiple times from beginning. If you want a simple pass time that has a little strategy involved this game has kept me entertained for days now..GoatmanYTVersion: 2.43

I Love This GameI got introduced to this game when it first came out. It was my introduction to Kairosoft and I find myself revisiting this title every few years. I would recommend anyone who enjoys sim games to play it. It’s simplistic enough to get into but has a replay factor where the grind up the ladder is equally as fun for first-timers as it is for people replaying the campaign..ApocolypticalVersion: 2.43

Great way to kill timeGreat little game for killing time on long flights or train rides. No micro-transactions, no adds, and does not require internet connection. I would recommend giving this game a shot if you are at all curious. It is extremely simple, but it’s very addicting trying to create the best game or console you can..Lord EllwoodVersion: 2.43

Pretty addictive and funEasy to play with one hand, and a very addicting gameplay loop. Worth the 5 bucks for the seamless offline and ad-free experience. It's fun to come up with different combinations and watch numbers go up. The pixel people in my phone love my game company's smash hits: Evil Residence, Final Fantasia, Sure Locked Homes, Dim Souls, and Tears of Thomas--all available on the PlayStatus and GameBox :).ThisisarsVersion: 2.43

Always come back againSuch a great game. My brother and I have been playing this for AT LEAST 6 years and I always enjoy myself. I wish they’d make an update to add new consoles, but that isn’t a complaint or anything the game is absolutely great and I always come back to it. One of a few “classic iPhone games” left.FeldmanrocksVersion: 2.43

Love it so much I had to get it twice!Is game is fun. Nuff said. That being said the idea of owning a development company and creating game is extremely fun. I wish it could go on longer instead of stopping at 20 years, but being able to pick up where you left off with unlocked genres/types is good..MrMajestiVersion: 2.43

I won the Grand Prize!!!When I tell you I feel GREAT!!! I finally won the Grand Prize after years of playing this game and restarting I can’t even believe it . It’s all about making games your sequel games back to back with almost about 100 around the board . Just make sure that 1 out of 4 is great!!! You’re welcome.Drandolph765Version: 2.43

One of the best games I’ve ever playedI first played this game back in 2014 in high school and throughout the years I’ve come back to download and play this game because I miss it so much. Used to wake up before school to play and even now it brings me a lot of enjoyment. Definitely download and play!!.Ricko123Version: 2.43

Super Fun Game / Surprising DepthGreat game that I've played off and on for over 2 years. Several play-throughs later I decided to drop a review. There is plenty of content out there for you to dig up to read about the mechanics of the game, but rest assured, if you are looking for a quality game to entertain you then get Game Dev Story. It is in one of my top 5 favorite games on iOS..JRascalVersion: 2.09

OG fan still playing to this day!Ive been playing the Kairosoft games since I played this one back in high school 12 years ago, and I still enjoy it and all the others to this day! Thank you for what you all have done for the mobile gaming industry blessing us with classics like this!.Shadowstrike5555Version: 2.43

Love these Kairosoft games!This game keeps me coming back through the years, and it always comes back with a vengeance! It’s so simple but so addicting! The only issue I have is that when you level up a genre AND type to 2 stars you can’t get 4 development points, only 2..D&B Marine TrumpeterVersion: 2.43

AddictiveThis game is HIGHLY addictive and you only purchase it once! I played Game Dev Tycoon and somehow found Game Dev Story. Game Dev Story is definitely a better game and it’s older.. The “what’s going to happen next” is going to keep you going well last when the game ends. One of the best simulation games I’ve played in years...Nethawk1000Version: 2.43

Addicting but lacks staying powerI have owned Game Dev Story on multiple devices, so I love this game deeply. However, even those you love are not beyond criticism. So, with that said, I wish that there was more attention put into the details of characters and the company you own. I don’t want them to flip the script, just give me more of what you already have..Directional JoyVersion: 2.43

Best simI’ve played this thing for literally hundreds of hours. I replay it on almost every trip we take. The length is perfect for flights, and the pace is perfect for my brain. It is kind of like Civ 5 in that you always want to take just one more turn….FlibbertigibbetsVersion: 2.43

Love and CharmThis game has been entertaining me for years and has always been a fantastic time killer. It's always so fun to build up a little studio and strive to get the perfect critic rating on your game or create the best console. I highly recommend this and I have such fond memories of this little gem..XI MrGibbs IxVersion: 2.43

Kairosoft's bestThere are a ton of kairosoft games now but this is still by far the most entertaining. This game really has that "one more turn" addictive feel, so watch out if you're playing it before bed because it's pretty easy to lose an hour or two without noticing. Also, "A animal game?".PorkDorkVersion: 2.09

Still a great game after playing it for yearsI’ve been playing this game for at least 7 or 8 years. And I’ve been having a blast to play it each time. Especially in regards to trying to mix and match different genres for games..XOm3gAxFr3aKxVersion: 2.43

Best Mobile GameI’ve been playing this game off and on for probably ten years now. I’ll get really addicted to it for a few months, then not play it for a while, then pick it back up again for months on end..SidewaysforattentionVersion: 2.43

Some troubleIt's a very addictive fun game without any crashing in game purchases or lag spikes but the tutorial wasn't that clear so I had a very hard time picking up on the game. There are still many things I don't know after countless hours of play. I would give it 4.5 if I could. It is one of the best tablet game I have ever installed other than that..Bobtheking 😎😃Version: 2.09

I’ve been off and one playing this game since I was a childI remember playing this game on my iPod back in 2009 or 2010. I’ve played it off and on over the years. I hope to play it off and on for years to come. It’s so simple but also fun to play.Duckboat12Version: 2.43

Can’t stop playingThis game starts quietly, but then over time you get more and more involved, caught up in the drama you tell yourself about Mr. x and King ackbar, as well as trying to make a game that captures the grand prize! And thank god, does not beg for money everything 30 seconds. A great game!.CwodtkeVersion: 2.43
