You started with a garage, a dream, and a marketing budget. Dojo Tycoon is a martial arts management simulation where you grow a single rented space into a multi-city franchise empire — one student, one belt, one dojo at a time. BUILD YOUR ROSTER Recruit students and watch them train. Each one has a skill level, satisfaction rating, and belt rank that advances through real training time — yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, and black. Earn renown every time a student earns a new belt. HIRE YOUR TEAM Take on skilled instructors to handle growing classes. Match their discipline specialty to your students' styles for a satisfaction bonus. Keep your student-to-instructor ratio in check — overcrowded dojos breed unhappy students and higher dropout rates. CHOOSE YOUR DISCIPLINE Unlock five martial arts styles, each with its own student archetype, tuition rate, and retention profile: • Karate — the reliable foundation • Muay Thai — high energy, high turnover • BJJ — committed students, slow belt progression • Judo — steady and dependable • Taekwondo — fastest belt progressions in the game GROW YOUR EMPIRE Progress through four dojo stages: • Garage — scrappy start, 15 students max • Strip Mall — real space, real money, 30 students • Academy — full facility, four instructor slots, 60 students • Franchise — the dream, 80 students, city-wide reputation MANAGE YOUR FINANCES Balance tuition income against rent, utilities, insurance, instructor salaries, and marketing spend. Watch your cash flow daily. If you spend 30 consecutive days in the red, the bank calls in your debt — game over. RANDOM EVENTS Rival dojos open nearby. Local media covers a student's tournament win. A supply shortage hits your gear order. Every few in-game weeks, a narrative event fires that changes the landscape — respond wisely. ONE-TIME UNLOCK — NO SUBSCRIPTIONS The base game is free to play. A single $4.99 purchase removes the student cap and unlocks the Strip Mall expansion. No ads. No energy meters. No subscriptions. Pay once, own it.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Dojo Tycoon at 4.5 against Guildmaker Tycoon's 3.7. Dojo Tycoon also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Guildmaker Tycoon's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
