Community Insight:
This one is probably our all time favorite. A sequel would be amazing.
Do a volleyball story, archery story, dog racing, track and field, competitive swimming, to name a few ideas. Let us know if you read this. Thanks.
This is one of kairosofts best games. Enjoyable and engaging all the way through. Where is our hotel sim, kairosoft? Were waiting.
Ive been playing this game for years now and would love to see an update for more countries and facilities! But Ill still play it anyway because thats how much we like your games.
We had played the demo of this game when we had Google Playstore. We were so angry that it was a demo and not a full game because we love ships. We wanted to buy the full game so badly and now we did. We got addicted to it quick when we played the demo version, now buying the full game Im enjoying it very much.
This is one of our favorite games. This company makes these games so addicting its incredible.
Solid game, just needs more content. You can just add new countries, facilities, items.
We loved this game, but just when we were about to beat it the game will no longer load. Very disappointed.
We were 90 percent done just had to go to Kairoland and then our game says error when we go in so we delete and reinstall our game so that works but our save file didnt please make a back up system to retrieve past save files we had been playing that file for 2 years.
This is a classic must play kairosoft game along with game developer and mega mall story.
We get all the games and they are all good and are fun for months this one is so fun too. We recommend this game.
Honestly we love cruise ships they are our favorite, but before they made this game we could not find any good cruise ship games. Finally this game came out and we played the free version, and we loved it so much that we bought it. We recommend this game to you if you like cruise ships, management, building, designing, planing, simulators, and if you want to go to the top. We also recommend trying the free version before just to be safe, but be careful because the free Version does not save to the game if you buy it.
Play now! It was worth it to pay the game.
First of all this game is soooo fun, we started off playing high sea saga and have been playing that game everyday since! So we know it's gonna be the same with this. We wanted to find a game that we don't get bored and delete after a week we been playing high sea saga for a month straight! So it will be the same with this! You guys make amazing games! Keep it coming! Our addiction game number 2.
App is really great it's worth the money trust us you'll love it.
This game is very addicting. We love that you don't have in app purchases at all. The game is fun all the way through and makes us want to play again and again . It would be cool if some passengers came as family's that stay in the big room, since cruising is kind of a family vacation type thing.
Hello. We love your games! In our opinion you guys are the best game makers! Just one thing. You made World Cruise (Boat) You made Station Manager (Trains) But Your Missing A type of transportation. (PLANES) If you guys could make a plane game where you make an airport that has planes that you can design. Some things the airport could have would be… Security,Lost and found,Information Kiosk,Restaurants,Gift Shops,Gates,Baggage Claim, Bathrooms,Pay Phones, and more! We'lol leave the rest to you.
We thought that we wouldve wasted our money but it was worth it we love this game and Im so happy we bought it! But we think that you shouldnt have your game delete at year 16 its kinda stupid.
They only care about their games in Japanese not English. If you are to make a game make it in both or nothing at all.
We've been playing this game for a couple of weeks now and it's really fun! We could play this for hours! :).
We absolutely love this game!! The creativity and innovation in the this game is amazing! Our only advice is add more stuff.
Not our favorite of the Kairosoft line of games, this one is still addicting (except towards the end where we felt like getting the reviewer's perfect scores was more of a slog than fun). We will still buy less than perfect games from this company though because it is one of the few that don't make those awful abominations where you keep having to spend money for the next cool item. Five bucks and you have yourself hours of entertainment. Will continue to support this company as long as they keep making fun stuff that is pay once.
Somehow, this game update lowered the resolution of the game. Both the app icon on our phone and the textures in game are now more blurry and pixelated. It wasn't like this before. (This is happening on our iPhone 5, iOS 8.4.).
Bilingual in English and Japanese change into English after update, and Japanese version launch at the same time. It's cheating who had purchased the game before!we wont buy your games any more.
We love this game, but there's only one problem. We think you should put the price down a little bit, and maybe get in-app purchases. Not the pay-and-play type, but just little special things you can use to make the game more fun. But besides any of that, it's awesome and keep up the good work.
This is a great Game there are lots of features in the game. You can change how many days you want your cruise to be. The one problem is in order to get more countries you have to satisfy the King of the country which cost you money and it takes forever. Other than that great game.
This game is a great addition to the Kairsoft series of games. It is by far one of our favorite games from them along with Pocket Clothiers.
If you like Kairosoft, definitely get this one.
We found this game very fun and addictive, but it would be more better if you could rotate facilities and stuff, but overall, it's a good game.
We love this game but we dont see how we can transfer from our 5s to 6+.
It's a fun game but after a while things get slow and the Kings are very hard to please, and we don't understand what they want. We've been stuck on the Kings for weeks. We keep investing in them but at they end they always say they aren't satisfied.
This is a fun game but why can't we move things around and re arrange on the ship, that's our only problem.
Do not buy if you Have a Tablet the screen for it is too small for it.
Now we have played many games,but this one sickens us to think about.it is so simple and there is no challenge; you can't even go bankrupt! It is so unrealistic;who ever heard of a school on a cruise ship!?!?nobody. Lots of spelling mistake with the contries.5dollars.wasted (sob) we wish the App Store would give refunds.the music is headachy and so are the animations.the game honestly has no point. All we can say simply is go spend your good 5 dollars on roblox or terraria or something.
We absolutely love this game! We have one suggestion: increase the amount of starting money when you play through the game a few times. We found it difficult to build multiple cabins to meet all the passengers. Increase to maybe $5,000 for the playthroughs either the 2nd time or the 3rd time and up. Please allow that change! Thanks for making an amazing game.
We love this game it's another fantastic game.please make more of these.
It's a great sim game we recommend you play it.
We have had no problems playing this game, and it is another great one from Kairosoft.
The buttons and display of all the recently updated kariosoft games are broken. We love this company please fix.
We can't play the game in our iPad 4. The game only displays half of the screen, even if we switch the screen. Please fix, we're a fan of the company and we have most of your games because they're awesome and fun! (we'll give more stars until the screen is fixed).
The update broke the game with have resized screens for the iPad 2. As well as un working buttons. Its the same with Dungeon Village and we are guessing any other recently updated game of theirs.
Once we got into the part that we need to input ship name, the display was not right. But when we tried to open the menu to build amenities, not working at all.
We enjoyed this game and spent many hours we like how some area became more popular tourist areas.
This game is quite good. If you want to beat this game quick. You only need to invest following: red carpet, Persian rug, suite, all kinds of plants and 4 floors total for better quality of suite. SAVE ALL your money! No need to pour money on everything else. Use quality seed ONLY on toilet and vending machine. Ours have 300+ quality, both of them. Then you can make all kings happy and reveal Kairo island before the eighth year. The trick is to sacrifice the rest, and make what you have to be the best(quality). Again, doing so just to beat the game easily and carry the rewards to the 2nd games then you can enjoy it well. Suggest: add more interactions so it's not just stare at the screen, wait things get better. And Add more mechanisms. It's easy to know that rms should next to windows, carpet should be everywhere, quality and money must be first to consider. After knowing these truths, the game has less fums.
To point where we see it's a karosoft game and we just buy, .. Brought em all love em all.
We've played every Kairosoft game and every single one is a home run, touchdown, slap shot goal, hat trick, and three-pointer combined all into one game. We honestly think we're the biggest Kairosoft fan. Hats off to the best game developer ever.
We love all your games we got pretty much all of them our favorite is probably ninja. We're writing this because we want to give ideas on your future games like for example maybe you can control a neighbor hood start with like a couple houses or so and start upgrading by upgrading your house all the way up to A mansion, add tennis courts, and playgrounds. Buy land to get more houses and stuff all of that would be fun! You can also do control your own airport by starting off with these small planes than upgrade them to travel father faster and mabye try to be the best airline in the world or something. We hope you read this and take it into consideration because we just want to give knew idea of how to keep these awsome games flowing.
Have almost every app made from kairosoft and add another great to the list.
Please keep making more of these awesome games.
We loved game dev story and MM story, and when this came out AMAZING. We love those game anyway, but it encouraged us to try lots of the other games. They make the games addicting! And our friends love them. We suggest this to everyone who has patience and loves a good game.
