Community Insight:
It's the best game in our opinion. Can't believe it has been 9 years. Please develop a venture town 2.
We love these games but this game needs bigger land we ran out land so we started a new game it needs more land.
Please keep all the buildings available even the parks so that we can use them over again. The thing thats really bad is when you invest in a new store and it never shows up to build. We keep losing so much money despite making numerous combos. Please update soon. We really love this game the best.
Our favorite moment is when someone gets a 20K bonus at work, then strolls into the Chinese food place with his pet hawk and spends his entire paycheck on chow mein.
New version works well. So happy the developer fixed all the problems.
We have been a longtime fan of this game but we wish we hadn't updated it. Now we can't add new buildings and some just look like blue blank tiles. We can't seem to find new jobs either. We hope they fix it soon because it is otherwise very fun.
We are a huge fan of kairosoft games but ever since they updated this over a year ago its been glitchy and unplayable. Please fix.
Venture Towns is simply perfection. Kairosoft is imo the best game developer on the App Store and our friend and we have logged a combined 2,500 hours between all of the various games. Venture Town is Kairosoft exemplified, and we highly suggest giving it a try.
Love all the kairosoft games but last update made buttons disappear, can't place buildings. No point in even trying to play.
This game takes the city building formula and brakes it down to the core elements. Now apply some strategy by placing buildings where they need to be and within proximity of your residents. Where you place your building is key to building an ever expanding city. The tutorial will guide you and as you unlock new building it will become more challenging and Interesting. Thank You Kairosoft … Hey Kairosoft, just waiting on the English translation of your Train game "Miniature Garden City Railway". Or else we will have to learn Japanese.
So every time we want to tap in this game be it their menu or trying to see the residents stats etc it takes us a good 4-5 taps instead of it being only 1.
The good: It's a fun and addicting game, and it gives you the idea that you can build a town of your choosing. The bad: Buggy. Basically, when the game was updated recently, they added a bug that makes it very hard to tap the screen. You can only get the "signal" of you tapping the screen in certain places, and those places change every time a dialogue box comes on. That's why this game only deserves 3 stars. We're usually pretty happy about Kairosoft games. Yet, this was disappointing.
We're a big fan of both kairosoft games and city building games so we were excited to try this one. Several reviews mentioned the touch not responding appropriately and we were having the same problem. We're playing on our 6s and we found that when we switched from graphics to performance in the game settings that it got much more responsive. It didn't fix it completely but made it much more playable. But in our opinion it's not worth $5 until they fix the problem.
The tapping in the game is very nonresponsive and absolutely ruins the game. An update is unlikely to the game so we would not reccomend buying it. Instead get a game like pocket arcade story or even better the game developer story game. If this were fixed it looks like it would be fun but for now we're going to ask for a refund from Apple.
No bugs, and is soo fun to play! We almost have all of the Kairosoft games on our phone.
We love all of there games so we love this game in general because you can do so much with it and it's worth the buy.
We really enjoy this game and we look forward to Kairosoft's games. Games like this rock! It's worth buying and playing.
Another Kairosoft title has been silently updated to work with the larger screens of newer devices! You wouldn't know it based on the update which just says 'bug fixes'. Hopefully the rest get updated soon a well.
Really great & fun game but we would like to see a re-arrange option in update otherwise a flawless masterpiece.
We bought another game by the developer and thought we might try this one. It is by far the best game of theirs we own. It took awhile to get the hang of it, 5 hours of playing, but after that it's been all fun since. Truly a wonderful game with loads of replay.
A very fun game but could use an update adding more building preferably more types of houses and offices and maybe make people move in more often. It would be cool if you would add the buildings from pocket league story!! Thanks.
We like this game. It needs to be updated to work with the new OS7. It would be nice if they would add new cities as well.
This is our favorite app game. It rinds us of simcity only different. Better than angry birds.
Please bring down the price to like 1$ or 2$ then we bet you guys will get more buyers but fun game.
Please make update for iPhone 5 screen.
Too hard to get started, we haad to start over MANY times while in the others we had no trouble getting started.
Charming little game that combines elements of city simulators and Japanese RPGs. If you happen to like both genres, you'll find plenty to like here. It wasn't quite clear to us right away how all of the parts affect each other, but that's par for the course and we pretty much figured it out by the end of our first game. Here's hoping that Kairosoft releases map packs for the game to add to the replay value.
Amazing game but kinda expensive.
As much as we love Venture Towns, there is an error when we place a vacant bldg. When we press on the vacant bldg, it says a new resident has appeared, when really nobody moved in; please fix.
We don't know how to make the cosplay set turn off, and if you can't, plz update.
We love this game just like all the others!! We have 8/10 of your games but we think you should have a sale once and a while. We also am wishing you can make a game to do with and aquarium/zoo or both! You guys have amazing ideas. We hope cafeteria nipponica and pocket clothier come to ios soon.
This game is more or less everything we expected and hoped for when we downloaded it. Aside from being a good city management sim, there are a number of fan-created "guides" online if you get into the game and need some help.
This game Is very fun it's also a little difficult which makes it fun. Can't wait for an update :-).
We downloaded the lite version, and a day after we downloaded the full version.
Super fun and addicting enjoy hours of playtime with this great game.
Not our favorite, but it is still perfection.
More saves but other than that the game is AWESOME.
- different maps + a lot cool buildings + random events + different jobs – hard – you will be in negative dollars if your not so good at economy games PLUS it's they're is soo much different buildings and jobs you can find.
Too typical but entertaining. Please come out with new one soon.
Great game! If youre reading this we think you should get this game because: 1.)the system that uses research points is so easy 2.) its not an online game therefore meaning you dont have to buy anthing to add on 3.) you can choose from 5 unique maps 4.) each resident has their own job and you can unlock new jobs on the way The game is NOT hard at all we truely love it! Our favorite part of the game is seeing the residents going to work and spending money at the store. We love it when they hit the lotto too haha a must have for a gamer of any type.
Loved the game! Maybe the the best one yet, looking forward to new ones.
Another fabulous addition! Game ends at year 15? We can easily play til year 30 and not be bored! Kairosoft games are never a let down. Although combos are almost entirely impossible to figure out alone… Everything keeps a steady pace. Get this app, you won't be sorry. :).
Okay,we truly LOVE this game,just how do you get towers,or cars or PLANES!!!this game is fun but it's hard to develop the town,still makes our top5 in favorite games,which happen to all be kariosoft games.
Dear kairosoft: this game is awesome but The soundtracks of town and super town we dont like them. Kairosoft change these soundtracks to a nicer tone like the village and burg ones PLZ so we can think of some cool updates for this game.
You need to be able to delete worlds once your done with them.
A fun game by Kairosoft, but this game is not nearly as fun or UD as pocket academy or Edo towns. Hold your money for world cruise story when it is released.
Money problems r wat we hate about this game.
This isn't our favorite Kairosoft game. An airport game would be fun. Got Instagram? Post screenshots of any Kairosoft game (preferably World Cruise Story) and tag #worldcruisestoryforiphone if you want World Cruise Story on iPhone.
Usually when we think of Kairosoft, we think of amazing games and what not. But this game REALLY DISAPPOINTING. It's exciting at first but gets boring later in like a day. You're better off with the others ones.
Lets be blunt. Simulation job game scenario: Lack of hints in figuring out how to advance to endgame. A slow beginning, to a crawl to middle, then a speedy finish. Like most kairo games, same cuddly graphics (whom we adore.) Soft MiDi music. (but who plays sim games w/ sound anymore? We.e repetitive tunes) The gameplay has a strong learning curve to aquire, but just like pocket academy. If you don't layout the proper "combos", (unless you cheat and search interwebs. Killing the fun in any discovery sim game) then its pretty tough to survive through normal gameplay. Just finished this week: Epic astro, Megamall and now Venture (also have game dev and hot springs). Venture was by far the biggest burnout to date. Sigh. Such a promising company.
