One of The Greats

So 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.

Old Flame

I 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.

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

The one that started it all

I 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.

Always come back again

Such 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

The Best Game on The App Store

I 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.

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.

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.

Has aged great

Bought this game ages ago when it first came out on the app store, i think i played it on my 4s. I fell in love with the game and spent many hours on it, then moved on to other games but came back to play the devs other games especially mega mall story. I recently redownloaded this game for the first time in many years and am once again hooked, fantastic game just as fun as i remembered.

Just Amazing

I 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.
