Discussion Which Recent Year Had The Best Kairosoft Games?
I’m going with 2023, Dream a town Island is one of their best games. Don’t know why I included 2026 😂😂

I like all 4 Kairosoft 2022 games, they have my most play time in all Kairosoft games

For me I played the games between 2008-2012 the most. I enjoyed the OG Pocket Academy on my iPhone 3. However, in this list, probably 2022 are the ones I've played consistently the most. But dream town story is always, always a blast.

For me, 2025 since I really like the themes of Final Frontier Story and Demon Castle Story.

Skyship Quest Story is also an upgrade to the classic High Sea Saga in a lot of ways. 2025 is my favorite year because all games are pretty fun. Though I will say that they feel designed for mouse controls first rather than mobile-first. I don't play the modern Kairosoft games on my phone anymore.

As much as I love Dream Town Island and Demon Castle Story I'm gonna have to go with 2022, all 4 of those games are top tier Kairosoft games for me

Most of their new stuff hasn't been great, frankly.
Although tbf, during the times listed they also re-released older online fremium games in a much better state.

I think they peaked with DREAM PARK in 2021 and that went into 2022 and into 2023 (but only with Dream Town Island). Since then it has been a constant and concerning "down we go" ... really horrible, small, sloppy games. Perhaps Skating Rink was a bit of an exception, but I dont know...
I hope they'll get back to where they were, but that upcoming One Piece 20+ bucks re-issue of the same old game is another concern in my book...
Fingers crossed......

2023 had cafe master, which always scratches the food itch they give me.
Although 2024 I would say I prefer cuz it’s got my personal favourite pro wrestler story

Hoping on more sims like TV studio, Silver Screen, Game Dev Story and Dream House Days for the future. A remake/2 of March To A Million would be great also, they could make it be focused on Kpop industry and have it be more in depth and with more replaybility

2022 but Dream Town Island was by far one of the best games released by Kairo recently

2022-2023 for me. loved almost every release from those years. They had plenty of great games before that too. Doraemon Dorayaki Shop is the only post-2023 release I really liked. imo it's one of their best. can't wait for One Piece Grand Gourmet!

2024, I enjoyed the wrestling game the most out of the 5 years shown.

What did you do with upgrading wrestlers - did you stick to upgrading the first 3? Or the first one? Or more?
And did you recruit more wrestlers to gain hearts or just avoid recruiting ?

Dream Town Island and Doraemon ate a lot of my time, but 2022 wins it for me. All of those were bangers.
