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.

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 ...

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.

This 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.
