Первое это то что бывает почти постоянный дефицит науки, качаешь одну важную функцию, появляется новая, но не хватает на вкачку. Второе это что то сильно лагает на 26 iOS, играл на 10 XS Max лагов не было, как перешел на 12 про Макс, так он лагает будто играю на калькуляторе, а когда заряд 20 и менее процентов, то считай что ты даже что либо вкачать или сделать не сможешь от лага в несколько фпс. Я бы хотел чтобы разработчики сделали оптимизацию под 26 iOS, а также чтобы добавили разработку своих компонентов как процессор, так и ГПУ. Надеюсь разработчики читают еще комментарии и что они добавят это в следующее обновление, если они конечно еще обновляют ее. Очень хотелось бы верить в это. ### 4/5 — Just a little note *2026-03-18, version 1.3.3* The game is very fun but i do have one problem that you cant evolve stuff early and always have to be the second company to do it. I would like if somehow you could unlock stuff earlier but it’d be more research costly. Also, i wish customers reviews would help exsplain whats wrong a bit more since, ive gotten many like 3 star reviews and they allways say “ it wasnt good” or somthin like that. And i have only found a single review that was under 5 stars that actaully told me why it was bad. And one last thing, it should be a little bit easier to get in the top sales as i can lisence like 3 games and create 10 games all averaging 8/10, but ill still only have like 1/2-4 as much sales as the top console after like 2-3 years. And past that point to continue making a console more popular just feels wrong as they become very outdates. Finally, please organise the upgrades by console, hand console, headset, and games because, they get anoying to try to find what is the upgrades for what your looking for. Also, Im currently at year 1997-1998. ### 4/5 — Good game but could have more features *2026-03-02* I love this game and I just got sandbox mode and it’s been way easier to get the parts for the games but they should add more console shells and make it so you can change the starting year instead of it being hardlocked to 1980, and make it so you could add extras on to the console in the packaging like headphones subscriptions and or free games to come with the console and or a camera accessories and making when making a vr you could choose the option to include it in the console packaging ### 4/5 — Слишком душно *2026-02-27* Максимально душное исследование. Во всех подобных играх есть проблема, исследований всегда не хватает. В отзывах на продукт жалуются на одно, ты вкачал, теперь жалуются на другое. Максимально душная и ужасная система, бесит во всех таких играх. ### 3/5 — Turn off ads (post in-game purchase) *2026-02-22, version 1.3.3* Turn off the ads after an in game payment is made. I started a new game to speed run, and I’m getting ads every 2 minutes. This is wild. ### 4/5 — Love the game but its unfair *2026-02-16, version 1.3.3* Why is the NES still selling millions a year but I can’t sell my stuff after 5 ### 4/5 — Better than device tycoon (their previous game) *2026-01-11, version 1.3.3* I was surprised on how much more polished this is than the previous game I would love a feature to make a gpu and cpu for your own console ### 4/5 — Please add 100 billon button *2025-12-20, version 1.3.3* I bought the sandbox mode and billions go by so quick and it takes forever to get back just to 100 billion please add 100 billion + button for sandbox mode ### 4/5 — Great game one problem *2025-12-11, version 1.3.3* This game is good I like it and play it everyday, but I really think sandbox mode should be free or be cheaper because $13 is a bit too much ### 4/5 — Problrm *2025-12-09* The problem is that contracts for games are too difficult to draw up, just too much ### 3/5 — Game development could be better *2025-12-08* My biggest issue with this game is creating games. Now, this is a console developing game, but making games is also a crucial mechanic in succeeding, and this part feels very limited due to one single factor. I have recently unlocked AAA+ games and I was looking forward to this because I thought I would be able to do a lot more than with the previous game types, such as AA and even the AAA games. I was sadly disappointed. You would think that with an AAA+ title, you could put a whole lot more into it, but you can’t. It’s basically just a larger file size, and the rest of the pieces, such as graphics, story, and sound scale accordingly. In a game like Red Dead 2, for example, there is a WHOLE LOT. The graphics, world-building, and story are very-well developed. But when creating an AAA+ game in this game, I still have to manage between graphics and story. The rest of the game, like the features and language localization comes last. I’d like the freedom to choose between how long and how much money I put into developing a game. Let me throw my money at developing this game, let me throw my time, and maybe as a balancing mechanic, the more time and money you spend on developing a game, the more critical the reviews and the harder it is to get a good score. That’s pretty real. ### 2/5 — Great *2025-11-02, version 1.3.3* It’s good but it’s to real like make it real for smartphone 2 except for bank rupt ### 4/5 — Great game *2025-10-09* Love the game but good god the contract system is so horrendous it’s not even funny. I love how much stuff you can do but don’t expect to get contracts for any reasonable price, and the negotiation system is absolutely negligible, with them just insulting you after you offer a frankly ridiculous amount of money. Love the game but for the love of god FIX THE GAME CONTRACTS. ### 3/5 — So close *2025-10-04* GREAT GAME but once you get to a point where you have 30+ items researched. It is beyond tedious to have to go and click the same upgrades Every. Single. Time. There needs to be a feature where you keep the progress of the last console or game you made. ### 5/5 — Every thing is fun *2025-09-28, version 1.3.3* I wish this had a fast forward button ### 4/5 — Pretty good game but why bankruptcy from a sensor *2025-09-27, version 1.3.3* I made it to 2008 in this game until I went bankrupt! For a sensor in the controller for my console in game yeah I added that in one of my controllers and boom why bankruptcy I worked hard on that ### 5/5 — Игра отличная *2025-09-21* Игра клас ### 5/5 — Love the game *2025-09-13, version 1.3.3* A great game but would love the ability to do hardware revisions for the same console since it’s so annoying when you release one and just after like new ram comes out and u need it to get game contracts. Also I think you should have the ability to buy game studios would add depth to the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Strong bones within a mannequin. *2026-05-30* I love games like this. Tycoon and automation games mixed with the multifaceted nature of the act of game development is right up my alley. Obviously I knew this would, essentially, be a clone Game Dev Story/Tycoon; I’m fine with that. What I’ve found irritating after 20+ hours of play is the blatant use of AI generated assets, shallow systems regarding the actual development of the games and consoles, and the phoned in AI generated office spaces. The interview portions are especially embarrassing. Like I wouldn’t tell someone I’ve played this game. Only reason I’ve played this long is, again, because this specific gameplay loop has been done before — better — by other games that I’ve genuinely enjoyed. This game feels like a hollow Skinner box. But if you want a tappy game that’ll scratch the tycoon itch, this game does manage to pull it off despite it having the depth of a puddle. If there were some love put into creating an actual art style and animations for it, it’d be ten times more enjoyable. As is, it feels like I typed “make Game Dev Tycoon but for consoles” into ChatGPT and this is what it coded for me. Plus side: verrrrrry few ad breaks and I really respect that they aren’t egregiously long interactive rage bait ads either. Huge win for a free game. I really would love to see this dev try harder to establish some kinda art style because they have a fine mind for systems and gameplay loops. ### 1/5 — DONT BUY ANYTHING *2025-12-11, version 1.3.3* Bought all the premium and the sandbox gamepass, and now it’s saying “in app purchases are not allowed” and my game passes won’t work and it spits out an error when trying to rebuy ### 1/5 — Don’t buy anything *2025-06-28, version 1.3.0* It robbed me for 12.99 for sandbox Works but when I checked offline it disabled and wanting me to pay again Paid is one time payment means it should be still there ### 1/5 — Fix it *2025-06-21, version 1.3.0* Many Times im neg. Im Close down so Fix it (Time Neg. Agg. So yeah) or else! ### 1/5 — Фигня *2025-04-20, version 1.2.5* Лучше скачать Device Tycoon там все понятней и сразу у тебя есть много денег это вообще непонятно у тебя маленький офис непонятный кнопки вообще у тебя ноль денег и всё закрыто невозможно ничего сделать я сначала даже не понял обучение вообще не понял лучше скачайте одевайся Tycoon там понятнее ### 1/5 — Devices tycoon *2025-04-02, version 1.2.5* Focus on the main game dude, like yes i get the idea of adding the consoles is fun and its new, but your main game is so much better its not even fair, so maybe sprinkling some attention over it once in a while wont hurt, and you could even incorporate the consoles into the game itself ### 1/5 — NICE!!! But *2025-03-15, version 1.2.1* Cool game and nice but the console types no Xbox One or one s or one X or original or series s/x ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me? *2025-03-11* ₹1200 for a sandbox mode that’s full of bugs? I’d rather put that money into buying AC Shawdows DLC. I already regret paying for the Devices Tycoon which has still not been fixed for 7-8 months. These developers are just releasing new games to loot their players instead of fixing the old games. ### 1/5 — ( *2025-03-08* Слили прогресс после обновления ### 1/5 — Lack of research points *2025-03-02, version 1.1.4* The lack of research points given to you ruin the experience. - you cannot progress or keep up with the technology dropping every five seconds -have to make games that get 1/10 ratings just for research points all the time it’s frustrating. - cannot get exclusive game contracts -what’s the point of having money if everything costs research points. It gets to a point. The major bugs -game freezes you have to close and re open the app - visual bugs -when you create a software engine the workers won’t stop working so you have to open and close 10x for them to stop My man issue is the research points. Please fix this and my review WILL be changed this game has alot of potential. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Игра просто супер *2026-06-15* Не понимаю почему у игры мало отзывов ведь она просто суперская , в дорогах можно играть и не скучать тк игра без интернета ### 5/5 — Это интересно *2026-04-08, version 1.3.3* Очень Крутая игра часто зависаю в ней ### 5/5 — Change the year 1980 to 1995 please *2026-02-07, version 1.3.3* Read the TITLE ### 5/5 — Здравствуйте *2026-02-01* Everything is fine, but please make it so that you can sign game contracts for portable consoles ### 5/5 — Ideas *2026-01-30, version 1.3.3* I love this game but I think it needs more features like... 1. Custom stuff I would love custom ram for consoles it could be 500-600 points and 10-100 million dollars! I wish they added custom cases once you get every case theirs nothing else so this is a nice thing to add. 2. Time Time is slow and I wish you could choose the year from 1975-2010 this could be even more fun! ### 5/5 — Best tycoon I’ve ever seen *2026-01-03, version 1.3.3* 3 words.beautiful, masterpiece,creative. Plus barely any ads ### 5/5 — UPDATE THE GAME ADD MORE THINGS *2025-12-06, version 1.3.3* the game is nice i love the things you can make with your thoughts but theres bugs and not enough things in the game, add a menu where you can update games that the person makes ### 5/5 — Thanks!!!!!!! *2025-11-18* This was one of the best tycoon games i have played ### 5/5 — Просто отзыв *2025-11-18* Игра классная хотелось что бы вы добавили возможность создавать сво Игра классная хотелось что бы вы добавили возможность создавать свои процессоры как в Devices Tycoon и можно было завершать продажи консолей когда их ажиотаж ещё не дошел до 0 + я нашёл 2 бага 1 когда консоли заканчиваются если два раза быстро нажать на создать то вычтется х2 сумма а 2 во время награждения лучших консолей года там выигрывают консоли которые были выпущены несколько лет назад например у меня в 1985 году 2 место заняла консоль Atari 2600 которая ### 5/5 — Very cool *2025-11-08, version 1.3.3* Very fun and good game, only problem I have is that it makes you put the title of the game down 1st, would be better if the genre was 1st saves me time to keep going back to change the title and type of game. Please can you change some of that around please --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
