The reviews highlight a strong appreciation for Kairosoft's storytelling, particularly in titles like "Pool Slide Story," which is praised for its engaging narrative and depth. However, users express frustration over the availability of games in English and the need for translations, as well as concerns about the length and content of some stories. Overall, while the storytelling is generally well-received, there are calls for improvements and updates to enhance the gaming experience.
- “Pool Slide Story is in English and really good.”
- “It plays like Hot Springs Story with much more depth, which is no bad thing.”
- “Pool Slide Story is a great, funny game.”
- “I love your badminton story game in your Kairosoft app, but I can't seem to play the free unsupported English game you have in your app. It would be much appreciated if you translated the game for non-Japanese speakers/readers like me.”
- “Yeah, I'm a Kairosoft fan, but most of Kairosoft's games are short like Beasty Bay, Dream House Story, and Pocket Academy. Can you update them and make them longer? I like them, and one thing, update your cool games with new features, etc.”
- “This sucks... I have bought every Kairosoft game except the new Pool Slide Story one because it's only available in this crappy app. Why the hell would I want to buy all my games a second time?”

Users express disappointment with Kairosoft's gameplay, criticizing its shift to a pay-to-win model that detracts from the company's previous reputation for straightforward, ad-free experiences. Suggestions for improvement include introducing a dungeon mechanic where players control monsters, as current gameplay is seen as overly menu-driven and lacking depth.
- “Why not create a dungeon type where you control the monsters and are attacked by the humans? Of course, it would include building mechanics and the usual Kairo style.”
- “So many things wrong with Kairosoft. First of all, the pay-to-win gameplay honestly ruins their reputation as a boutique game developer, which used to simply sell the game in one go without any ads or in-app purchases.”
- “Nothing to gameplay, other than another menu in the way of actual play.”
