Pocket Academy 3

    Pocket Academy 3 is the latest entry in developer Kairosoft’s Pocket Academy series. In this game, you’ll take control of a school as you work to help your students improve their skills and get their dream jobs after graduation.

    Your students are the main focus of the game and the lifeblood of your academy. They spend three years in total at your school, during which they will take classes, participate in clubs and festivals, fall in love, and work towards achieving good careers. New students enroll at the beginning of the year, though individual transfer students can also enroll later in the year. Winning contests and impressing students through tours will result in potential students that can later enroll in your school. The two main measures of how well your students are doing are their grade stats and their test results.

Burger Bistro Story

Take the fast food industry by storm in this management sim! Overtake rivals, design new menu items, and collect furnishings for your stores as you work to expand your small starting restaurant into a popular chain spanning a city.

    Creating new recipes is a major part of this game. From your restaurant’s test kitchen you can create new recipes, including of main dishes, sides, drinks, and desserts. Sides, drinks, and desserts are more simple than side dishes, letting you combine a smaller number of ingredients that have predetermined outcomes. You have full control over what ingredients are used in the main dishes, regardless of how well the ingredients mix. Want a towering burger made of nothing but meat? Go right ahead! Want a sandwich full of fruit that uses pancakes for buns? Entirely possible! You can track the popularity of the food based on the ingredient combos as well as other attributes such as spiciness, temperature, or weight before completion. 

Tropical Resort Story

    Vacation season is wrapping up in many parts of the world, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to end just yet. Kairosoft’s Tropical Resort Story puts you in the shoes of the owner of a resort spanning an island chain. You’ll build hotels, discover new fish to populate the waters around your resort, attract new guests, and work to build a popular vacation resort.

    Tropical Resort Story falls into the “town building” Kairosoft game archetype, where you work to build up the area and satisfy visitors to your retreat. You can arrange the various stores, plants, and decorations you unlock around your hotels to unlock new vacation packages for that facility. Combos aren’t as difficult to discover as they are in some other Kairosoft games, and many are listed within an in-game menu even if you haven’t already discovered them.
