    I heard iPad versions aren't that great might be better on iPhone/ipod

    It doesn't look very good on iPads. Basically it's just like you would use an iPhone-App on your iPad, including big black borders ;)

    I've been playing for a bit and it's great, probably one of the bests of Kairosoft.

    I couldn't figure out, though, how to replace the main monsters of my party by newcomers. 'Swap' command on the menu is just for positions, apparently. Any help?

    After you click them there's a remove or replace so you can switch out but can't do it when exploring.

    Further exploring I found that this is highly freemeium but good though.

    Getting monsters from the shop requires medels
    Upgrading equipment and survival gear cost medals

    But you can buy them but don't know how yet. I don't even know when you get tourist yet.

    Are you saying this game has consumable IAP?

    Bad move for Kairosoft if that's the case.

    Yes the medals you earn at a slow pace are needed for upgrading items and getting monsters with out catching them.

    Yes there are, but you really don't need them at all. I've already played through the Japanese one without ever spending anything on IAP's

    I've not played far enough to judge anything about the consumable IAPs, but I'd be surprised if they were an issue since these games have never had much persistence, always about restarting and trying a different way of tackling the same general problem to see if your score improves or not. Building in any sort of 'necessary' consumable IAP, when the game itself is so ephemeral would be a self defeating monetization.

    While I've played the bejesus out of several Kairosoft titles, there hasn't been a single save I played more than 3-4 days.

    Thanks, I didn't notice that button somehow.


    It says they come when you travel to other islands after researching maritime skills. I'm not too far in the game though, haven't gotten tourists as well.

    Paid $4.99 immediately to show my support. Now it's just a waiting game for Sushi Spinnery, The Pyraplex, and Dream House Days (there are more but those are my favorites).

    Yeah I own pretty much all but two of the releases Kairosoft has had on iOS. Atro Story is one I'm still waiting on a sale for. Currently I have Beastie Bay (obviously), Game Dev Story, Mega Mall Story, and Venture Town installed on my iPhone. My kids love all of these games so I asked them which 3 I should keep on my phone to eventually try out.

    It's kind of funny the one I want to try the most is Free. I don't mind ads, that should give the dev a little revenue for the game.

    This looks horrid on the iPad 4th gen, did they not test this on it?

    I ran into grammar problems on a part. Never seen a problem with it before.

    Im ready to shell out the $5, but i want to know if the game screen expands when the ads are gone. On an ipad mini by the way, as there's this black border around the game screen., but with ads at the bottoms. The way I see it, the dimension of the game screen is the same ratio as that of the ipad's full screen so i was wondering if removing the ads makes this fullscreen then..

    Well the iphone5 has a different dimension ratio. The small screen having the black border still looks 4x3.

    True. I actually might do iap just because it kairosoft and it is getting more fun longer I play. The monster agency I used 12 medels and got a big skeleton monster (dragon warrior looking) but it is kinda low blow spending 5 bucks to get rid of ads and yet spend more to get medels. We should have at least got some to begin with.

    Yeah... it's a bit more of a money sink, but i can see there is much fun to be had , especially with the gotta-have-em-all mentality active.

    But yeah, they should have given out free medals upon paying the $5 at least.
