Idol Manager

Tired of playing Resident Evil, Battlefield, Sekiro, etc. It's time to play a real gentleman game (*There's a mod in the workshop for AKB48 and Nogizaka46 if you're into those groups)

Is this worth a buy? Depends. Do you like the aspect of managing a studio of pretty girls so they can bring you money? A game that moddable? Then the answer is yes. Now for the ugly. The more you play this game, the more bugs you find and questionable balance decisions. Sure, the mods community help, but shouldn't a game being able to stand on its own without having the community finding ways to patch it? So what is the ugly I speak of? - Idol salaries at 1 fame compounds their demand to be paid until they hit a soft cap wall. Unfortunately, early game, you don't make enough to pay them because what they want you to pay them is the very profit you made; while the salaries and rent chew at the rest of your balance. If you can make it to true profit (where you hit the salary demand soft cap of idols and you make far more than they ask), then the game becomes easy. So clearly, poor coding. - Scandal points can ruin your game quickly and there's no system in place except firing people. A poor approach at what the real world of entertainment; where in the real world people eventually forgets bad rep. In fact, almost every game has a similar system that let's you get rid of bad karma,…

I LOVE this game, i cant find another management game thats this good.

I can't event play the game. it keeps stuck at some point.

It's alright, pretty decent, pretty entertaining. But, it gets dull after a while as the gameplay loop becomes hectic as more idols and groups are formed. Coupled with lack of future updates, and a minute mod community. Replayability is low, unless this is the genre you enjoy. Overall great to play in your spare time, like after a few years or so.

good game
