Kairosoft Sale: School And Rest
Calendar16 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 22:00:26 UTC +00:00
Oh, hey, Kairosoft is getting into sales during the holidays! Starting now, and for a "limited time," two of the studio's lesser known but-still-as-awesome-as-ever simulation games are available on the App Store on the cheap. Both Pocket Academy and Hot Springs Story are seeing a drop from $3.99 to an agreeable $1.99. Money saved! Exclamation marks! Before you take the plunge, you probably want to read our respective reviews for the titles in question. While they combine the same charm and spirit of Game Dev Story, they both have angles and mechanics that may or may not appeal to you. Hot Springs Story, by the way, looks like awesome prep for the next game the studio has coming down the pipe: . Description Money, power, and respect. Welcome to the streets of GaW.

Juegos de Kairosoft para no aburrirse nunca
Calendar16 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 20:43:09 UTC +00:00
Construir parques de atracciones o ciudades ya está muy visto, lo que se lleva ahora es la gestion de centros comerciales, academias o hasta de unos fabulosos baños termales. Si ya probasteis Game Dev Story, un juego super-adictivo en el que desarrollábamos nuestros videojuegos, estos títulos que os recomendamos seguro los disfrutaréis, ya que mantienen toda la esencia de los juegos retro o de principios de los 90, además del toque distintivo de Kairosoft. Tenéis un video de cada uno tras el salto. Estas joyas para iPod o iPhone están disponibles en el AppStore a diferentes precios y a diferencia de su predecesor, éstos se pueden poner en apaisado, haciéndolos mucho más cómodos de jugar en el iPad a pantalla completa.

Posted 08/09/2011 at 10:27am | by Andrew Groen As we reported last week, Kairosoft, the makers of some of the most deviously addictive simulation games on iOS, have released their latest epic. It's called Mega Mall Story, and we can't wait to get our hands on it. We've been more than a little bit smitten by Kairosoft's releases over the past year or so. They have a very unique brand of video game that has kept us captivated over several different iterations. The first to win us over was Game Dev Story, and it continued through Pocket Academy and Hot Springs Story. The idea that runs through all of their games is that you're building a company from the ground up. You have customers who will come in to your business and want to be catered to, and so you must provide for them. It's an extremely addicting formula that becomes Read More

Pocket Academy Review

iPhone App $3.99 Our Review By Rob Rich on July 13th, 2011 Rating: :: HONORS STUDENT As with virtually every Kairosoft game on the App Store, Pocket Academy could use a bit more of a tutorial. Those who stick with it will find an experience just as rewarding, entertaining and addicting as any of their previous titles, however. Developer: Price: $3.99 Version: 1.1.0 App Reviewed on: iPhone 3GS Graphics / Sound User Interface Gameplay Re-use / Replay Value Overall Rating: Kairosoft took the App Store by storm (as well as an app could, anyway) a while back with the release of ; a game in which players run their own video game company. They followed it up a bit later with , which had less nerd-appeal but offered more simulation options and was every bit as tough to stop playing. Now we have Pocket Academy, a game which is just as Read More
This week on TAS, we discuss more games than news due to the startling lull in App Store controversies, craziness, or compelling offerings. Pocket Academy takes the first spot, as we go deep on what makes it so good. Then, we follow with a light Puzzle Agent 2 discussion, followed by Street Fighter 4: Volt, 8-Bit Rally, and Amazing Breaker. Somehow, we get off the rails hard enough to have a legitimate discussion about the Xbox LIVE beta program and classic online PC gaming. Also, Jared’s puffy and beautiful beard gets a notable mention among other tangential riffs. As always, you can check us out via the download link just below or on the iTunes music store for music and other things, as well as the Zune Marketplace. If you’d be so kind, we would really like to read more of your questions or comments on air, so throw us e-mails Read More
'Pocket Academy' Revew – 'Game Dev Story' Goes to School
Calendar16 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 22:17:56 UTC +00:00
Kairosoft’s Pocket Academy [$3.99 / Lite] takes the best and worst elements of its prior releases, Game Dev Story [$1.99 / Lite] and Hot Springs Story [$3.99 / Lite], blends them together, and then applies them to a school environment. It’s not remarkable on the surface. It has the same cutesy art direction used in these prior games. It also re-hashes a lot of mechanics, continues to shroud a lot of its crucial foundational and tycoon elements in mystery, and it controls like crap. But it does still deliver in the form of the studio’s should-be patented carrot-on-the-stick design approach and fleshes out a crucial, but oft-forgotten, driver in all simulation games: the people. Provided the gun to my head wasn’t real, I’d argue until the moment the trigger is pulled that Pocket Academy isn’t as much of a school simulation as it is a over-the-top student simulation game because, at Read More
New Kairosoft Title 'Pocket Academy' Hits the US App Store
Calendar16 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 05:30:42 UTC +00:00
We've been sort of Kairosoft crazy ever since they released their phenomenal game company simulation Game Dev Story [$1.99/Lite] last year. Then, Kairosoft followed up that release here in the States with Hot Springs Story [$3.99/Lite], an even more refined simulation that let you manage and expand your own Japanese spa. Since then, Kairosoft has been releasing tons of differently themed simulations using their trademark character and style, but so far none of them have made it out of the Japanese App Store and into the US. Back in April we took a look at one of those titles, which through our powers of mediocre translation we were calling Pocket School Story 2. It turns out that the game is actually called Pocket Academy [$3.99/Lite], and it has just gone live in the US App Store. Pocket Academy looks extremely similar to Hot Springs Story, except that you are creating a successful Read More

The first
Lamar Muster 5.0 stars Version: 1.1.0
A calm and mellow game, the kind of game you play when you go out ot get a drink of coffee or mocha. Gota be a patient guy, game is not for those who love to control people, because you can only control the area and not the people(except with items). a build and watch kind of game. I love their trade mark style in all of their games, I hope they keep using their style in the future. A build and watch kind of game, brings me back to the first gameboy and sims tower, but better :D. Thank you Kairosoft CO.,Ltd <333
Really Addictive

Amazing as usual
Parker Durnell 5.0 stars Version: 1.1.0
This game is just another instant purchase from this developer. These games are scary since they can take hours from your regular day and then continue to be entertaining and making you want for more. Congratulations on another great title! I am looking forward to whatever comes next.

Someones name 5.0 stars Version: 1.1.0
I don't write reviews very much but i feel that such an awesome game should be shown some recognition. I love this series of games that kariosoft has created . Like Game Dev Story and the second game they made afterwords and I adore this one. Also since this company dosen't make games very often right when I saw this one I bought it and I have never been disappointed by there games . I can't wait for them to make another one. I hope they make one related to fashion design for girls. Thank you kariosoft keep making awesome games .
Fantastic Game!
Nick Smolenski 5.0 stars Version: 1.1.0
Really loving it so far. It maintains that Kairosoft charm from GDS and HSS. If you loved their past 2 games, don't hesitate to pick this up!
