You can hire workers, choose the genre of the game, the platform and the features of the games you want to work on. Review: Game Dev Story (Nintendo Switch) Review by Matt S. Game Dev Story is a genuine classic. Originally a humble little iPhone title, featuring a cute sense of humour and colourful characters, it really was the title that launched its developer, Kairosoft, into the stratosphere, and has since led to dozens of other casual simulation titles.
Gameplay[edit]
The menu on the left-hand side of the screen allows the player to control the direction of their game studio, while the bottom menu row shows the sales of their currently released game.
The player takes control of a start-up video game developer, with the goal of making hit titles and consoles in order to make money.[2] The user controls a number of factors which can help or hinder the quality of the games released, including hiring staff, controlling the direction and speed of development, and using items which give boosts for workers or change their jobs. As the player progresses and earns more money, their building is improved upon and they are allowed to hire more staff, and thus create better games.[2]
Games are assigned review scores upon completion of a game ranging from 1–10 with a comment from the associated reviewer with his score. The scores generally affect the sales that go along with the game, and as they are in real life, sales are ranked with a number according to how they sold that week.[2]
When the player reaches the Hall of Fame level, they can hire more staff. To reach the Hall of Fame, the player needs to get the critics to give a score of at least 32.
Development[edit]
The original Game Dev Story was released in Japan for Microsoft Windows in April 1997.[3] It was ported in 2010 to both iOS and Android.[4]
A Windows Phone port was released in July 2015.[citation needed] It was also later released on Nintendo Switch on October 11, 2017.
