I've been waiting for this game to come out but kind of disappointed by how fast the game ended and there's only 8 character to choose from(sorry if I'm wrong). I terminated 2 of them and then try to do another casting hoping there will another character to choose, but nope, still the same girls showed up. Also I can't increase relationship with the guy at the bar (i forgot his name). Is it worth the $15.99 (got it on sale)? Idk. It's too late to refund now. :( Other than that, I love this game.

Cat dad CEO is love. Cat dad CEO is life. I would never betray Mr. Jae for Joo Won, though I appreciate the roleplay option. Things I really liked about this game were the little mini-games (especially find the cat), getting to dress up my idols, but also making sure they were fed, rested, and their very best selves. It felt a *little* short - I got to the idol awards and thought I'd have more time to produce other tracks for a mini-album, so I was surprised when I got some trophies and then the credit screen. I'm also wondering how to get max approval with all of the characters... but maybe I should have spent less time on talking to Mr. Jae and letting the story develop? Something to try on a replay!

Absolutely love this game, it has been scratching an itch that I needed to be scratched for a while. I hope the developers keep updating so it can be an even more involved and extended game but I feel I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of this game and I plan on replaying until I 100% the achievements. This having mixed reviews confused me until I remembered that mostly (if not solely) k-pop fans are playing this, and they are the hardest people to please. I look forward to more of the developer's work!!!

Preface: Go into this expecting a stat-raiser, not a management sim. For a sub-$20 game, the core gameplay loop is incredibly fun and the art style is charming, making it well worth the price tag. However, its biggest weakness right now is the lack of multiple endings—a staple for this genre. Because the roster of idols is small, we really need individual ending cards for each girl, plus overall band endings. I'd love to see this added in future updates! It has massive Princess Maker energy, which I love. It’s a great concept that is 90% of the way there, it just needs some serious polish on the endgame content.

Kis is a raising simulator, I went in expecting a deep management game but it felt more to a raising game due to the limited number of idols It can feel repetitive in the mid-game when you’re grinding stats before the next big story beat and the loop felt a bit mobilegame-ish (claiming reward based on task), but overall other than that, Art and Music are top notch, I feel immersed with the songs when visiting places and arranging team schedule. Solid pick if you want to enjoy what it feels like debuting your korean idol group, I'd debut it again
