A lighthearted and charming management sim where you build and run a dream arcade, with gentle strategy and simple retro pixel visuals.

What players say
Players are split on Pocket Arcade Story. Many enjoy the familiar Kairosoft management loop of building and decorating an arcade, but a loud group finds the required fighting tournament minigame frustrating and random, calling it a tedious grind that overshadows the simulation. The need to grind characters through a poorly explained friendship system to unlock machines also draws complaints.
