TV Studio Story

Gameplay is similar to Game Dev Story so it’s nostalgic that way. I find it easy to get into a momentum making show after show that I don’t notice the in-game years and months pass by. It’s just fun. Combos and compatibilities are intuitive so you can definitely get by by guessing, but there are so many more combos for each genre and theme that it’s fun to discover the others for yourself.

Excellent return to form from Kaitosoft. This one uses the Game Dev Story formula and expands it in a number of different areas, this time in creating TV shows. You have more control over each show, more options in affecting the outcome, and so much more. Fantastic game.

It follows the same formula as a lot of other KS games so I found it boring at first. However when I continued playing I started to really like some of the details like set building, TV guide, picking hosts/studios, and a couple of other unique characteristics of the game. I will continue to buy new KS games, but would love to see some more branching out, or moving away from the traditional team/unit upgrade.
