Kairosoft how I adore you <3 Not the most difficult game ever but it's whimsical and cutesy and that's all I need.
It's was just Game Dev Story but with a fresh new coat of paint... Nothing new was brought in at all... more slop to come out of Kairosoft.
It's a little slow to get going and you will struggle really fast but if you keep at it you will get ahead. Other than that being the main issue, there's nothing else that's wrong with the game and it's pretty fun to play. You can create your own character and give it points to help it out. Karisoft games are also easy to max out your achievements but it takes time. So if you're into that, then I say go for it.
Anime Studio Story, developed and published by Kairosoft Co., Ltd, is a charming management simulation that gives players the opportunity to run their very own anime production company. True to Kairosoft’s signature style, the game features colorful pixel art, a whimsical tone, and an addictive loop centered around incremental progress. Players start as the head of a small, inexperienced studio with limited funds, a handful of staff members, and the dream of creating hit anime series. From that modest foundation, the game expands into a complex and rewarding cycle of creativity, resource management, and experimentation as you build your reputation, discover new genres, and compete for fan approval in a growing entertainment market. The presentation is instantly recognizable for fans of Kairosoft’s library—adorable character sprites, upbeat background music, and satisfying sound effects that accompany every small victory create an atmosphere that is both cozy and motivating. At its heart, the game is about producing successful anime while managing the delicate balance between artistic ambition and commercial success. Every new project begins with a decision about the genre, theme, …
If you are looking for a game like Game Dev Story, you found it. While the game is fun, it has alot of issues in my opinion. It is much slower paced. Time moves quickly in the game, but your workers move at a snail's pace. There are points where i am forced to sit and do nothing because I am so broke that I cannot make an anime, but there are no subcontracts to do because I completed them all. You have to wait for them to respond. I am STRUGGGGGLING for money in this game. Much more challenging so maybe the pay off is great. I will probably keep playing but this one is definitely much more annoying. They also forgot to add mouse controls for the menu popup. So you cant right click to pull up the menu, you have to manually click on it.
Yep it's good
