Convenience Stories 4+

This is my second Kairosoft game. The first I’ve played was the game dev one. If the grocery store theme interests you, get this game! Setting up the stores and choosing how to stock the shelves is pretty fun. It’s a little difficult to make money in the beginning, so you really have to pay attention to the various features so that you can stay afloat. My biggest tip would be to take advantage of the “special event” and the advertising features, as they bring more customers into your store.

One gripe I do have is that reorganizing your store can get tedious. Once you expand the store, you have to move things around again. Unfortunately, there’s no way to select multiple objects at once. Also, saving enough to research new products can take quite some time.

I also wish we could stock vegetables. There’s one indoor fixture for veggies, but I would like more variety. Overall, though, the game is really fun! I’ve spent a lot of time playing this game, so it’s definitely worth the price.

I’ve been a fan of Kariosoft for many years and have been impressed with their ability to innovate on an already enjoyable experience. This is particularly the case Conv. Story, which highlights a complex, challenging, and most importantly, fun gameplay experience. I loved the additions of stock and economic fluctuations which made the game dynamic. My only feedback is the trash system in New Game+. Fast forward with this feature becomes tedious in having to tap very quickly spawning trash piles — particularly during Fame Up. A automated NG+. Object or NPC which mitigates this annoyance would be a great quality of life change for an already fantastic game.

I’ve been a Kairosoft fan for the past 15 years. I’ve played every single one of their games (even the freemium ones). They’ve had hits and misses, but man are the hits rea time sinks. I’m glad to report that this one is a veritable hit. It has everything I like in Kairosoft games (inventory management, combos, customization, cute graphics, fun system messages/dialogue) and a good pace of progression, without overwhelming you with things to keep track of like some of their recent games did. If you like management sim games please do yourself a favor and try this one out!!
