Been fun just like most of the Kairosoft games
- Daniel Szimanouss · v127
Game is good. Cannot stop playing. Thumbs up
- michael titian · v127
It's like, Game Dev Tycoon meets The Movies. But not as complex as those two and still has plenty of depth. Tutorial is helpful, quick, and not annoying. Once you master the menu option commands , game becomes a blast, if you understand. Took me less than an hour to know i was gonna enjoy playing this game over and over. 80s game style animation is perfect. Very rare to find Excellent simulation game, worth the money.
- James Todd · v127
One of the most fun Kairosoft games I've played. It combines the classic management gameplay of game dev story with many of the improvements and subsystems of their newer games, making effectively a better version of one of their best games.
- Amber W · v127
great game as always
- Dumb Nuts · v127
on of my favorites from the dev
- Sarah “AmyPenguin” Meyers · v127
the UI throughout the game is over complicated, needing you to select something, the press another button to "confirm" the selection, yet that button never reads the same. sometimes, it says "select", "proceed", or "continue", and is never in the same location. overall, the gameplay is lukewarm. it felt more of a chore than "gameplay". would not recommend.
- Jesse Bones
As usual kairosoft delivers a great game 🎮 👏
- Dionte Kang · v127
I have not much to say other than, keep making games Kairosoft!
- DeuceManTheHreat · v1.17
Kairosoft always delivers. combinations are endless. run your tv studio of your dreams.
- Michael Wallace · v127
completed. really fun and interesting
- Josie · v124
So far it is an excellent successor to Game Dev Story, adding a few more layers of things to manage: sets, set pieces, actors. If you've played any Kairosoft games you know how addictive they can be, I'm having quite alot of fun with this one, anybody whos worked on a set or dreamed about doing so would get a kick out of this, as would anyone into simulation games, this is one of the best I've played.
- Bothe Kretsinger · v127
It's a different take on their original game with lots of more options with a lot more characters. Pretty fun for the money.
- Greg Clem · v127

- Anthony · v127
Kairosoft games is always the best pixel game ever
- Asia Last · v127
One of the best experiences I had in a simulation game, the best part would be the fact that it requires a lot of trial and error to actually get the right combination of genre, theme and set. Kinda makes you think a lot more about the people working in the industry and teaching you some knowledge about how it may feel joining it very neat!
- Arbiter of Fate · v127
Might be the best Kairosoft game yet. Very similar to Game Dev Story except a lot more depth.
- Jonni Lip · v127
love all kairosoft games- this is no exception :)

好玩

kairosoft keeps making fun bite sized games for on the move and this one keeps that trend going.
- Brandon Whitworth · v125
Exceptional

Love!
- Kiki Koko · v124
so good
- Jeremy Schoenlaub · v124
it's an upgraded Game Dev Story- with more options and more to do. Has an annoying bug on Android where you can't change anything's name, though.
- Christopher Longair (Eerookah) · v124
I bought this and it won't let me play it for some reason... something about not able to save the game even when I can't even Boot It up
- Sky Walker · v124
Amazing game, I love the design of it.
- Kagi Will · v124

It's really addictive and fun. Not just this game but all the games of the production house is fabulous. Keep up the good work.
- Treeza Abraham · v122

- Matthew Cooper · v122
good game
- Van Helsing · v122
I always find myself drawn to their games! Always fun, and familiar.
- Keebler980 · v1.17
bought it cuz it was on sale but honestly didn't get me hooked into it like the other games kairosoft made
- illyia
solid yo
- Alex Cunningham · v122
it's gud 👍
- N K · v122
Addicting!! the limited decoration helps me because I can get wayyy too into it. progression is easy to figure out. very fun!
- Charlie Cervantes · v122
I like it. It's a little confusing (what's the difference between Music the genre vs. music the theme?). And as with all Kairo games, guessing what they consider compatible can be challenging. But ultimately it's fun and addictive and unmonetized and for that, it gets 5 stars from me.
- Margaret · v122
classic style kairosoft, very enjoyable. I say it's not as strong as others BUT customizing the actors is very fun and I love that about it.
- Kirsten
b3st game yet
- A W · v122
Love this game
- SnowVibeGamer · v1.17
Fantastic little evolution of Game Dev Story. Addictive, and it's fun to give shows ridiculous names.
- Jordan Prothero · v122
It's good fun. I played most of kairosoft games, but its kinda grindy.
- The ReaLDoT · v122
Fun.
- Timothy Garber · v122
very cute game, pretty fun and addictive.

Nice
- Sir Scott
Kairosoft games are always a HIT I never get bored & they always come out with amazing career paths to play & pursue.
- mher2323 · v1.17
The design and mechanics aren’t different from other games Kairosoft has developed, but the concept is fun and it keeps you engaged enough to explore the other mechanics. Def recommend! (But def want to see a new Monster Bay style…)
- Erin LH · v1.17
So I give this game one star for each hour
- dzdsfsffsfsrsdaddqqrqfrwwdw · v1.17
Kairosft games are always peaceful and perfectly entertaining for a winding down mobile game
- ImTheDaddy22 · v1.17
Gameplay is similar to Game Dev Story so it’s nostalgic that way. I find it easy to get into a momentum making show after show that I don’t notice the in-game years and months pass by. It’s just fun. Combos and compatibilities are intuitive so you can definitely get by by guessing, but there are so many more combos for each genre and theme that it’s fun to discover the others for yourself.
- arxesxiv · v1.17
Very similar to Game Dev Story but with just enough different elements to keep it interesting.
- Calinoron · v1.17
I really do like this one. Idk why, I can’t explain it. But it’s super fun learning combos and what works with what and earning the rewards for doing those combos. Very nice. Can be confusing however..
- Squishiely · v1.17
AMAZING
- Julio@2002 · v1.17
Fantastic game if you loved Game Dev Story
- Bossman89854 · v1.17
棒不多说
- 豆荚眼 · v1.17
I quite enjoy it, it’s a fun, but slightly tedious, time waster.
- Zachanator · v1.17
The exact type of game that I want from kairosoft.
- Y0u can d0 it · v1.17
Engaging, constantly evolving game scape makes for a consistently attention-grabbing experience.
- ClubLuluFan · v1.17
Please make a Game Dev Story 2 with as updated systems and visuals as this!
- PyroGodzilla913 · v1.17
Yeah this a banger
- Ayyyyyy Pizza Rolls · v1.17
I love it!
- ExileInBuyville · v1.17
Everyone should play this game because it’s everything and fun at the same time.
- Mrs. Alyssa D Short · v1.17
Is a great game. I’m totally addicted to it. Also it may seem tedious, but to me I just enjoy the gameplay and trying to find all the combos. 5/5 just a great game.
- kohh_real luv · v1.17
😃
- justintm91 · v1.17
Title says it all its worth it for what it is but it’s a more in-depth game dev story.
- justletmerate27382974 · v1.17
Love a lot of the Kairosoft games and this didn’t disappoint! If you liked Game Dev story, it’s pretty much that but more detailed and more involved in TV production, it’s super interesting and fun(:
- Jo-Beezy · v1.17
Kairosoft has not released a game this good since GP racing and I am thrilled. It plays a lot like game dev story but with more parts to the game and I could not be happier with this purchase
- Holmes Family iTunes · v1.17
nice
- eeNINGee · v1.17
This is my favorite so far. It combines multiple elements from games outside of Game Dev Story while bringing back all of the same feels. Full recommend to newcomers and old alike.
- ErsatzMorals · v1.17
Soooooo FUN!!!
- Scarlett Yeoh · v1.17
as always!!! i love kairosoft so much!!!
- Syreassa · v1.17
I feel like some of the new games are money grabs. This game has no ultimate goal.
- Simplyme011 · v1.17
Alright great. Now apply this winning formula and further refinement of systems to a SEQUEL for GAME DEV STORY. Here’s additional feedback for THAT game: 1. Interruptions are worse than ever. Put them on a scrolling banner or something, but the windows that pop up every 2 seconds is all the gameplay you’re giving me. It’s okay to let me watch the cute little simulation play out without anything to do for more than 2 seconds, I promise. 2. Longevity: add 100’s of years to that sucker. Make it incremental. Use your imagination for the future. Cyberpunk? Time travel to run a game studio in jurassic? Why not. Add more game. 3. Port the great refinements on systems you’ve made such as picture-in-picture, hold-to-speed-up, applying knowledge of post dated projects to training, and so much more - put that great code into the next Game Dev story. The market, your fans, the tycoon fanbase, we need you! Give us the sequel to Game Dev Story! Give us Game Dev Story 2 !
- Shattered Vrael · v1.17
Add it to the collection :) Another classic Kairosoft winner!!! Thank you 😘😘😘 Please keep’em coming!!!
- The Guarini Family · v1.17
Hours of gameplay. I enjoy every game
- calalyre · v1.17
Kariosoft hasn’t been making bangers like the old days but this one is nice. Has good but not crazy depth to it
- Teleologic · v1.17
So fun passes time quickly go play!
- Psycojustin · v1.17
This niche genre of games is always enjoyable when I have 15 minutes to play during my busy schedule. Keep up the great work
- Arctic_Voltage · v1.17
Love the brand kairosoft, love how they make games. This game really reminds me of game dev, which is a classic of theirs. Very fun and cool replayability with the points you can add from the previous game.
- Goobie Sack · v1.17
As always
- Holelight · v1.14
Excellent return to form from Kaitosoft. This one uses the Game Dev Story formula and expands it in a number of different areas, this time in creating TV shows. You have more control over each show, more options in affecting the outcome, and so much more. Fantastic game.
- Danimal613 · v1.14
Its really similar to game dev story but thats a good thing.
- Aakadarr · v1.14
Another wonderful game!!!
- Sscreen · v1.14
This game is so addictive. It really makes you think and strategize.
- lilmissbap · v1.14
So much more fast-paced than any title before it! You are constantly constantly grinding out show after show. Otherwise your income stagnates, or worse, you just lose money! A very fun addition to the series.
- Tessa’s Opinion · v1.14
Been putting a lot of hours into this game the last few days! It has everything I love about Kairosoft games, especially my favorite one Game Dev Story, but with a great TV twist.
- DrYaco · v1.14
cool :))
- djaurorpakfosiwie · v1.14
No micro transactions, just adorable graphics and numbers going up as you discover combinations
- Hyperchump · v1.14
love these games. i’ll always download :)
