Hey, I played the hell out of kairosoft games...I have all of them. I'm looking for something similar but I didn't find anything yet. Does someone know about a good game in that style? I liked the earlier games more (like gamedev, gp story, mega mall...). And I know these iap/timer based games. Maybe you know something without that...would really appreciate your help
Star Command and Knights of Pen and Paper both are similar. Besides that not any I can think of. Pixel People kinda has that vibe and although I'll get flamed for saying it, Adventure Bar Story did too but in an RPGish kinda way.
Persional, i see most of games of Kairosoft belongs to research. With who like research feature should go to Kairosoft
I played Star command, sim city and knights of pen and paper as well. I guess kairosoft games are kind of unique...what I think I like the most is the management part. I will have to wait till they put out something new
Epic Pirate Story, Hotel Story, and Pixely People Making Movies are 3 iOS games that are HEAVILY inspired by Kairosoft games. Game Dev Tycoon, too, but it's a PC game. I've only played EPS, and it's got some of the vibe, but none of the fine-tuned balance of a KS game; on the plus side, the Lite version is full-featured and free. Hotel Story looks like it's basically Hot Springs Story with IAP shoehorned in. Haven't played PPMM yet, but it looks promising.
Minako My game is similar, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hendojo.minako. I used kairosoft as my inspiration.
