What starts as a challenging and potentially exciting management sim, Idol Manager fails to keep your attention in the long term. Once you overcome those early financial hurdles and the money starts rolling in, the challenge ends, making for a stale simulated day-to-day experience.
"Idol Manager" is a simulation game where you manage a talent agency and guide the careers of young pop stars. Oversee their training, hiring, and promotion, while dealing with their personal lives and the scrutiny of the public eye. Balance the highs and lows of the entertainment industry to lead your agency to success.
