Love hot springs story. Downloaded 10 years ago, play it all the time
I love this game. It is easy and relaxing to play. Build your inn with rooms, amenities. And scenery. No extra dollars to spend. I love it. Classic building game at it’s finest.
I love this game I’ll never get tired of playing it
Reviewed 1/7/19 on an iPhone 7 The flaws are too insignificant to warrant taking off one star. This is my first Kairosoft game. It can be played in both portrait and landscape mode, with automatic rotation (a setting can lock rotation). There is an option for a game pad, but it’s probably unneeded for modern phones. Controls are still smooth, despite the age. The mouse cursor is irritating and can not be removed, but it’s a small flaw and can be useful for selecting facilities that are hidden by other facilities. This game has aged well. It’s flawed and hasn’t been updated in two years, but it still runs smoothly (and a little warm, which is strange considering it’s 7 or 8 years old). The menus don’t feel cramped either. The gameplay is fun and relaxing. One of my favorite aspects of the game is that you can play as casually as you want. You don’t have to maximize profits or configure rooms using expo sheets, but you still can (and that would be a hefty amount of work, too). There is still no 360° rotation. There are only some facilities that can rotate at all, and even then, there are only two directions to rotate. Regardless, people can walk through some walls (but not others). So it becomes a matter of figuring out which rooms open where. Be careful when considering this, as some facilities have doorways that seem like walls. This game is complex but slow. I find that relaxing, as watching people happily filter in and out is interesting to me. However, while it can be a micromanagement game, the micromanagement isn’t constant. You will have to wait for money to fill from time to time. If you need a continuous experience, consider getting another Kairosoft game. People undergo a variety of activities based on how many facilities you put down, so the animations are not uninteresting. You can tell they’re old, however, as they aren’t as fluid as modern pixel game animations, including the studio’s newer games. I have yet to find a bug in the game. It hasn’t crashed yet either. I’m assuming the “glitches” people are complaining about are how customers can walk through walls. It’s not a bad bug, if it’s even a bug. Better that than have you constricted by one or two entrances when placing facilities. At least this “bug” somewhat makes up for the lack of rotation. The music is repetitive, but the sound effects aren’t annoying. You can lower the volume or mute both of them, if you want to listen to your own music. For an old title, the menu system is surprisingly user friendly. I find the double tap to confirm feature is a good feature and a necessary one, as placement can be inaccurate. The movement of new facilities is pretty simple and easy. People complain about the fact that you must destroy a facility (you can’t simply move it). I don’t find it annoying at all, as it’s still relatively quick to get rid of something. I guess redesigning can become a chore, in which case it’s easier to start over. That’s what some reviewers mean by “replay value”. If you find yourself uncomfortable with a design and you don’t want to bother redesigning, it’s much easier to start over. I haven’t done this yet, but supposedly some stats and unlocks carry over into new game plus. A solid experience with minimal flaws, all considering. I was surprised and pleased that this game went beyond my expectations. Please don’t be deterred by the age, lack of updates, or reviews; as the flaws may not be nearly as bad as they seem and the game still plays very smoothly. If I continue to be impressed, I will buy another Kairosoft game. (It’s not optimized for iPhone X though. I know because the last update was from before the iPhone X came out.)
For some reason my game won't work! I try to open the app and it shows me this long message in another language and then the screen goes black! I was really far in the game too! I don't understand what happened I love this game!
THERE IS A SWITCH PORT COMING!!
I give four stars because i have yet to try everything it has to offer in game. Really fun and starting to be worth the buy its getting more challenging with the new features in a good way. now unfortunately i want to buy another pocket app. fun addicting nice app
It's a super cute game honestly and it's supplied me with plenty of entertainment. The graphics are adorable and it's so fun to build a hot springs from the ground up, it definitely keeps you entertained for five hours or so. I highly recommend if you like games where you build your own business.
Not worth $2 or your time. Ignore this shoddy game.
I am so happy I can finally get the Chinese version, I can't wait to buy all your games in Chinese.
Thank you for making the Chinese version possible! Even enjoy it more now!
Thanks Kairo!! Korean support Nice!!
Bad game I ever play!! Waste of money!!!!! I hate japan!!
Another hit by Kairosoft. I love this company, I love their games. You can play them over and over, learn how to play them better every time.
First kairosoft game-- got me hooked
Nice to see Kairosoft updating their apps to work with newer models! You wouldn't know it based off their app updates which usually only say bug fixes, but they have been going back and updating older games.
By far one of my more favorite Kairosoft games.
This game is incredible! I hope more games that turn out this successful will be in the future!
This was one of kariosoft's earlier games, and while it's perfectly fine, it's nowhere near as good as other recent games. This one gets repetitive after a while and there isn't a ton or variation in your spa amenities. I recommend hotel story for a similar mechanic better executed
Retina, iPhone 5 friendly and fixed the issue with leaving the app making your game exit.
thank you for the dev team
Yay :) one of my favorite games ever - now it doesn't have to restart when you switch apps. Thanks Kairosoft!
I love this game so much but! I want you update for iphone5 full screen.
I'm mad cause they havent made a new game in forever I think they should make a like hotel one ware like you make ur own hotel
I was playing hsp and I got to year 12. Then I started playing after I slept. But guess what!? I had to start all over again at year 1. Fix it and I'll give you a 5 star rating.
I really love this game. It's super fun! DO NOT GET HAPPY HOTEL!!! IT IS A COPY OF HOT SPRINGS STORY!!!! Got Instagram? Post screenshots of any Kairosoft game (preferably World Cruise Story) and tag #worldcruisestoryforiphone if you want World Cruise Story on iPhone!
I love this game on my iPhone 5 but I wish it was compatible with the new iPad. When I installed the game it didn't fit the entire screen. Please fix!
I love this game and I played it about a year ago on my old iPod and now I got it on the iPod 5 and the screen is small. And it would be nice to add more stuff in the game. I did the last expansion land deed and it feels like it's still too small. More items would be great like more room types and more stores. More trees would be good too!
First I dwnld this game in lite version. It's fun & addictive! So I buy full version. It deduct from my Gift card but until now, the full version never appears :( why?
Favorite developer, never any problems. This one is my favorite yet!
It would not save my progress not worth 5$
Its a really good game but i wish u guys would update it :/ and add new people and more buildings and more trophies
Very fun strategy,but I found a glitch.Late at night,if a young family is using the ping pong table,the father left to go to the roof and I made no money while the wife and daughter played ping pong all night!!
Please make a game called Criuseline Story!!
I have bought other "stories" in the past, and saw this on sale; it was a must buy. Kairosoft delivers a charming throw back to the retro ages. With it's unique design, traits, bonus items, it's well worth it. Great Game, A must have for iPhone.
I really wanted this game but it was $4.99! I'll probably pay $1.99 at the most. But when the sale came out. BOOM. I bought it as quickly as I can. And if course I love it! All the graphics and stuff are great! But I wish the days were longer. But other than that it was over whelming. Get this game before the sale is gone. Trust me, you won't regret it. You should also get Dungeon Village if you like RPG.
I've been waiting for one of these Kairosoft games to go on sale and I'm glad this one did! Love it, same as your other games!
This title offers far less variety than other Kairosoft games such as Mall Story and Developer Story. There are only a handful of different rooms to build, so it gets very repetitive. Save your money on this one. .. Read all my reviews on crosswa.lk ..
Awesome game I just can't get the beautician to like my inn .…So when is world cruise story coming?<Plz answer
Absolutely love this game, very addicting but I wish there were more stuff to buy and add I bought everything so quick :/ . Would be cool if there were rooms for special vip or you could adjust the price to your liking and more people to reserve. Game was fun while it lasted worth the money.
Was not my favorite but still a worthy buy. Tons of playing time on this game.
Make a theme park one!!!!!!
I have been waiting for another game from Kairosoft! Yay!!! But please, please make mor for Anerica
Great game like all games from kairo but the wide screen will not show the money I hope they fix that
It's a great game and I could not stop playing
Better than skrim!!
I am a boy and still love it!
This is one of my favorite game on iPhone so far and its very very very addicting game to play.🎐🎎
