Kairosoft has done it again with TV Studio Story. If you’ve played 'Game Dev Story,' you’ll feel right at home, but this game adds its own unique flavor to the management sim formula. Managing a TV studio involves a lot more than just choosing a genre; you have to scout locations, build rapport with talent agencies, and meticulously design your sets to fire up the studio audience.
The 'combos' between genres, themes, and performers are the heart of the game, and discovering them is incredibly addictive. The pixel art is as charming as ever, and the sense of momentum—where you're making show after show—makes the 'in-game years' fly by in a blink. It captures the frantic preparation of TV production perfectly while keeping the gameplay intuitive and fun. It's a must-play for fans of simulation games and the Kairosoft series.
Available on: iPhone, iPad, iPod
Version 1.17Thu Dec 28 2023
Now available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Korean!
Lights, camera, action! Get ready to enter the TV industry... Kairosoft style!
In this charming pixel art sim game, you'll create your own shows, deciding everything from the theme and genre down to the set and the performers who star in it. Experiment with different combinations, and you might just have a hit on your hands!
Where would a TV show be without its stars? Build rapport with different talent agencies, find performers that specialize in certain genres, and get the studio audience really fired up!
Preparation is an important part of any production. Send your staff out to scout new locations, and they'll come back with new themes, genres, and decor items, giving you even more options to work with.
Once one show airs, you can start on another right away! Publicize it in magazines, on the radio, or on social media to win new fans. How high will the ratings on your next show be...?
It's time to take control of the airwaves and create a hit that will go down in TV history!
