A huge chunk of Kairosoft games can be played on Android with Google Play Pass for you to try out before you commit to buying it. I've played and beat quite a few of them and Dream Town Island remains my favorite! I've sunk dozens of hours into it on my tablet. I bought it again for Steam because of Steam Deck/controller support. (The mobile versions don't have controller support for some reason.) There is so much to optimize in the game and so many checklists. If you enjoy the idea of a cute, casual city builder with active citizens you can watch and 10+ hours worth of progression, then this is the game for you. A top tier city builder with these core features that I find remarkable: - Quirky residents that will drive around in the vehicles they buy, adopt a variety of pets to keep at home, and that you can pair together. They develop hobbies based on the job you give them and can enter stat-check contests for their respective hobbies for rewards. - You can modify the elevation of the map in a pretty cool way that I can only compare to Elin. You can lower your elevation all the way down to 0 to make water tiles and form rivers. - Unlike most other Kairosoft games, you can move buildings around for free! Which is important for all of the following below... - Buildings have Combos when placed near synergistic buildings. For example, putting a Sauna, Spa, and Spa Hotel triggers a bonus in all of these buildings and count as a "Hot Springs" combo. - Buildings have a checklist of (technically optional) bonuses that they want fulfilled, such as being near a certain decoration. - Buildings retain bonuses, including Combo activations, of others of the same building. So if you finish one of the checklist items for one Museum, it will then carry over to all Museum buildings on the map and that you will build in the future. Some tips I figured out that might help someone out: -Many buildings require being near 5 decorations or 5 plants. Because buildings retain bonuses once they are triggered, you can just set up a corner of your map with 5 plants/decorations placed around. Then just place any building you want to trigger that bonus with there, and once you check it off the list, you can move that building to where you actually want it to go. - The above can be useful for houses as well. A houses comfort level matters and higher rank citizens will only move into houses high comfort. You can set up an Empty Lot in a spot with high comfort, have someone move into the house, and then move the house to wherever you want. Place a new Empty Lot in the old spot. Rinse, repeat. I had a lot of trouble getting people to move in until I started doing this. - Use "Air Purifier" items as soon as you get them. They increase the comfort level for ALL homes. (I thought for a long time it only increased base comfort for the house I used it on.) - Buildings level up with use, but hit a ceiling for their rank. F buildings can only get to level 5. Use Rank Up items on buildings that are maxxed out in order to level up those buildings more. - Once you reach Year 15, the game "ends" in these sense you get an official high score but you can keep playing your town. Make sure you use up all your Rank Up items on buildings before this point. You unlock New Game+ mode, which you can start on a different save if you don't want to overwrite your first town. In NG+, you start with some money from your last playthrough and you also get to keep all of your buildings rank/level.

Probably The Best Kairosoft game if i had to choose one, considering all their games are mostly just reskins from their previous ones with just a few new features added. This game combines all the good stuff they have had into one complete package with addicting gameplay and enjoyable artstyle. Residents can have jobs, use the money they get from that to upgrade their house, buy mobility things to get around faster (cars, bikes, etc). They can have children who grow up and eventually move out and later come back to town and get their own house to start a family of their own. Residents also grow old and eventually leave the town making their house plot be open for new people. You have to think out which buildings are compatible with what to increase the area value since some people are picky to where they want to live. Overall this is worth playing if you like these sort of games!

This game is literally crack to me. I can play this game for like 4 hours straight just *optimizing* things. It is so addicting that I am not going to bed because there's just *one more* house I want to upgrade. Anyways, I have to uninstall this game now for my own well being.

Another day, another Kairosoft game! I'm really having a blast with this one! It's one of the deepest Kairosoft games I've played yet, the amount of content to unlock and systems crammed into Dream Town Island boggles the mind. It can be overwhelming in a good way -- I don't feel rushed or hurried to manage anything, and all the information is always just a click or two away -- but there's just so MUCH of it. It's really satisfying to grow your town from one single house to a thriving metropolis with multiple generations of people working and living within. And there are three different maps to build on, so you can get weeks of replay out of this one, too. Mechanically, I would say it's closest to Tropical Resort Story and Forest Camp Story, so if you enjoyed those, you will absolutely eat this one up. If you enjoyed Biz Builder Deluxe, Dungeon Village, or any of the building-centric Kairosoft games, you're in for a real treat. And for newcomers: this is Kairosoft at its best! You will get hours of playtime building up your little town and watching your citizens move in, find love, and grow old together. There are job systems, plenty of room to prettify each area, and you never feel rushed or harassed by notifications or the needs of your citizens. It's pure easy fun, and I highly recommend it!

I love this game so much!! Every time I'm stressed or tired from work, the first thing I do is open up Dream Town Island and waste my hours away on it. I love building my city and watching the citizens do their thing and grow into families. I love how whenever I think I'm done unlocking buildings, more interesting ones show up! It's always a nice surprise how much content this little game actually has. The only complaints I have about the game is that whenever a citizen moves in, I wish I could click on the alert so that it brings me to which empty lot it is. My city is pretty big at this point and I always have to scan which empty lot it is. Also, this game is extremely addictive. I have, on one day, spent almost 8 hours straight playing it non stop. Other than that, I love it! Good work to the devs for creating such a cozy city builder.
