★★★★★ AWESOME but plz add more things!!!!!!
Sun Dec 10 2017 Mariomaster09871234Alright, first off. It's an Awesome game!!!! I now have more respect for game creators and daaannnnngggg competition is tough. I think that's how you say it right? XD anyway you should add employee personalities because it's kinda boring and what's the point of firing them? Besides to get a better employee. An example of it would be like an employee is a "bully" and yelling others and things like that. It makes a whole new purpose in firing them which makes you pay attention to your employees more. 2- You should add character/ CPU interactions just to make it real ish. It would be cool if u did add it :D. 3- at the end of the game, why don't you make up more consoles? Your able to progress more and be able to generate ideas to new gamers and inventors and maybe invent a similar model and console like that. If you keep doing that, you could evolve the company to the office place in a 3/4 floor buildings and move the research lab thing and the console builder below it and more floors of your company above it. 4- speaking of research lab, you should add more research topics because after the grid and MMO, it's basically conventions and more conventions. 5- speaking of conventions you should get something for being top in the 3G , or G3 idk. I know it's still an early game (I think) and your maybe adding more things. So these are the things I suggest you to add :D Thx!!! Ps. The Game Is AMAZING!!!!
★★★★★ Lots of potential, but significant oversights
Sat Sep 11 2021 Anarchris2032I love the original Game Dev Story, and GDT makes a lot of dynamic innovations over GDS. But some major problems in the game logic make this one more annoying than enjoyable. The first is the way they base the rating off the game on the previous rating of them game. Instead of building a company by gradually improving your games, you have to rig the system by making a bad game to get a good game. In other words, the game penalizing you for making consistently good games. Getting a 10/10 on a game ends up being something you want to avoid, rather than a positive achievement. Other oversights are the way they handle costs, where some things are too expensive to ever be worth bothering with. MMO games are a prime example. They have no cap on the increasing maintenance costs over time, so they become a financial black hole. So why make them. The key to winning this game, in other words, is to learn the non-intuitive ways to succeed in the game that you pretty much only figure out by trial-and-error or by reading Internet forums on the game, because so many of the decisions you make in the game have consequences completely outside any intuitive logic. The original GDS is simpler, and lacks a lot of the cool features of GDT, but it’s still a more enjoyable game to play because it follows some identifiable logic that players can discover more intuitively in the game to become successful.
★★★★★ THIS GAME IS EPIC
Fri Aug 21 2020 sussyptThis game is AMAZING! It really shows you how games are developed. In addition to that, the creativity options in this game are amazing. Whenever you make a good game you are rewarded which really makes you feel like you accomplished something. However, a bad game penalizes you in a very user friendly way. It shows you what you did wrong so that you can improve it later. You may lose money and a few fans but nothing a good game wouldn’t fix. This game is extremely balanced and for those people who think the game is short and easy, there is a piracy mode which is EXTREMELY difficult and will make veterans of the game think outside the box. Overall this game is extremely good and can be replayed over and over again. As I’m writing this review I have 10 companies fully finished and I’m working on my 11th and I haven’t gotten bored once. The achievements in the game also give people another thing to do on top of the countless of things to be explored in the game from Easter eggs, to game combinations and research. This game is countless months of fun for a day’s work. And to top it all off, there are no in app purchases and ads! Something that not many games can say. This game is definitely worth it and I thank the developers for making a game that I have enjoyed for months on end.
★★★★★ I absolutely love this game
Mon Dec 31 2018 AveryjjonesThis is everything I have been looking for in a game in which you have to run a business. I love that I get frustrated when a game doesn’t do well or get really excited when I get the ratings and profit I want, it’s because of that, that I have been able to play to for hours on end. But now I want more and I have ideas. My one concern is that when I opened my hardware lab there were a lot of options for consoles but now I only have 2 options and there both cubes, one white and one black. I have a lot of money saved up so I don’t think it’s anything about that but I am curious as to why there was once a big selection, and now only 2.
I would also love a feature where we can interact with the businesses of other players too. Maybe being able to partner with companies, invest in them, buy hardware or even license hardware and game engines, that would be very cool. Also I think if at a certain point, like maybe when player generates enough money and gets a feel for the game, what works and doesn’t, there should a feature that allows players to start teams, like the graphics team, the dialogues team and so on, I feel like that would be a good way to continue growing.
★★★★★ I WANT A SEQUEEEEEEEEEL
Wed Oct 27 2021 zooman6784Okay, I'm just gonna say this game is AWESOME! And I think it’s ironic how I want a sequel for the game and there’s a review in the the game that says “can’t wait for the sequel.” So im just saying that I really want a sequel 🥺 I think what could be added in the sequel is 3D and that would definitely make the sequel amazing. If I could buy something from this game I would HANDS DOWN. Another thing is that, when you wait, after the game is finished and you want to add more to the game I would like it if you would add both Tech and Art at the same time for every week. It would definitely make the game better and not too easy. Also, I would like you to add a more accurate time line. What I mean is like adding “this takes place in 1983” or something like that. Also with the months as well. Also another thing is the comment on the reviews, I feel like some comments on 5-2 maybe 3 definitely should be changed because the comments on 5-3 just pick me apart and makes me upset. It is an amazing game and I just wanted to give you this review to say what I would want if you made a sequel. Have a wonderful day!
★★★★★ Great Game
Tue May 28 2019 Great app nothing but good things to say.First of all I’d like to say how much I appreciate a game that does not use the Freemium business model, which is ruining video games in my opinion. So, I give you a 6th star for making this a buy once and own it game. I would not have giving this a second look had it been freemium.
With that out of the way, I will say that this game is fantastic. Perfect for mobile. Basically you are a small business owner when you start and have to earn money by making games. You make all the decisions about what games are made, what research to do, who to hire, what audience to gear your games for etc etc. I can’t stop playing. If you like simulation style games where you have to earn money and build a business by making decisions and strategizing, you will love this game. If you have an appreciation for the history of the video game industry then that will be a bonus, but you don’t need to know about the gaming industry to enjoy this game. I just moved to my new office and hired my first employee and am looking forward to seeing how big I can make the company grow. Please keep making game like this. I will keep buying them.
Cheers!
★★★★★ One of my favorite mobile purchases
Wed Jan 01 2020 Zer0ActualThis game is probably my favorite mobile purchase. I’ve been following it probably since it came out and just a few days ago, I got to buy it and today I just finished my first playthrough.
I feel, however, there could be a few things you could add such as:
• A map which you can view to buy other offices to expand your business
- I think this would be good because it could add another challenge to the game. It would increase monthly costs and whatever other things you would decide to add as a challenge if you added this
• Actual competition
- This would add an actual challenge (such as timing game releases, not making the same style of game as another company at the same time, etc.) I feel as if it would make the game more fun and rewarding. Especially since it would be harder to grow as a company when you are starting because of the other Game Titans. The stage is already set because the names of companies are already in the game: Electronic Mass (if you lose), Vonny, etc.
•• If you decided to add any of these I would gladly buy them as long as they weren’t outrageously priced, I feel $5 would work or if it required a lot of time and effort to make these, then $10 would work too and I would still buy it.
Thank you for making this game and potentially, considering my ideas.
★★★★★ Excellent and Addictive game
Sat Jan 06 2018 toknowyouI originally played the PC version and became hooked! I played through it three times and found each one enjoyable. When I heard this one was out in mobile form, I had to give it a try. I have played Game Dev Story as well, and while that game is fun for a bit, it felt much more formulaic then Game Dev Tycoon, which I believe was released first. The redesign to mobile that the developers did plays well in my iPhone 6S. I can tell that thought was given to how it would look and feel as opposed to being rushed. The other part about this game that I love is Greenheart Games stance against “Pay to Play” or “In-App” purchases. When you buy it, you get the whole thing and are never pestered with advertising or nudged to buy anything additional in the game. It’s not the most profitable model of game anymore, but it makes the overall experience so much more enjoyable in my opinion. It’s an all around great game and worth the money.
