Heian City Story 9+

Just completed play through of the first area. It allows you to keep playing that area if you want to, and it will be fun to keep building my city.

This might be my favorite Kairosoft game yet. It’s a good city builder, plus a lot of other side things to do like build up your residents so they can participate in various tournaments (my favorite is the poetry contest), and build up your guardians to defend the city in an RPG tower defense type of mini game.

if you like Kairosoft games Dungeon Village or Ninja Village in particular, you will like this one.

Cute graphics and sounds. Lots to do. Good little quests. Addictive in a good way.

My phone does NOT get hot playing this and does not lose much battery at all while playing it. Thank you for that!! 🙌

Looking forward to continuing to build this city but also trying out the other areas now.

I’ve been playing Kairosoft games since their first English release and own all their games. I’m a huge fan! Thank you for your hard work! Here is my review.

❌ You don’t get your own unique character ): Kairosoft allowed us to do this with other games, but not this one.
❌ I wish there was more to do and customize. I want to customize names, clothes, etc. We can only choose different jobs for villagers, but that’s it. I wish there was more complexity in the game. Dream Town Story is amazing because it has both layers and customization ability—players can rename characters, choose their partner, name their child, etc. Characters even had unique pets.

✅ They took what worked from Edo Towns and other town management game, and put them into this game and expanded on it. It’s good to see them take elements that works! Riding, changing jobs, building combos, the news announcing, etc.
✅ I haven’t experienced a bug or crashes. Kairosoft games are so stable.
✅ The pixel art is beautiful, as always. There’s variety to plants, buildings, and clothes.

I want to play this game for years to come, so while it is beautiful and interesting, it just isn’t complex enough. You’ll replay the game to try different maps and find out all the building combos, but that’s it. There’s a limit to how you customize your game, which is only the characters’ jobs and where the buildings are placed.

I’ve been a fan of Kairosoft games for a long time. The last 2 years they have really incorporated all of their diverse lessons learned to make even better games. This one is probably my favorite. Although TV Show story is a close tie. Hope you enjoy as much as I am.
