Comments on Game Dev Story for Android

★★★★★ berker aşırdizer · Jul 17, 2026
More than worth its price. One of the games I played on the phone.
★★★★☆ Cassidy S · Jul 15, 2026
I beat it in one day and was disappointed that there wasn't more to the story. I do appreciate that there is a fast mode right off the bat (usually airsoft makes you beat the game to unlock fast) but I kept feeling like "...this is it?". Once you get game of the year there isn't much more to do or spend your money on. Wish there were more quests or goals to reach.
★★★★★ Cahin Harlequin · Aug 6, 2026
Ive been playing this game for at least 12 years and always find myself coming back to it! Very simple and fun concept, also love the other gamed Airsoft has to offer!
★☆☆☆☆ Mwaka Monze · Apr 28, 2026
Repetitive and becomes extremely boring/formulaic very quickly.
★★☆☆☆ Bryan Mader · Oct 24, 2026
They intruded my gaming experience and led me here to leave a review because I was too good at the game. Shame on them.
★☆☆☆☆ Darko Pecanac · Jun 21, 2026
Every time I get the highest points in each category the "oh no we had equipment failure, we're up and running, but we lost some points" message pops up, EVERY time. Out of 140 developed, 55 had this happen to. I owned another similar game & that had more modes where you could hire multiple teams & work on MULTIPLE games at once, same with having ability to create a console, graphics, software etc. This game lacks a lot of content that make these types of games engaging and wanting to come back.
★★☆☆☆ The Reviewer · Jul 14, 2026
Highly addictive not in a good way I think, dopamine hits galore.
