    Disappointingly clunky and boring, especially so since it's from the developers of Game Dev Story, THE best game for iOS I have ever played. Hot Springs' interface is a bit too complicated for the small screens and the mechanics a little too Japanese to be instantly understood like GDS was.

    It's difficult to draw a distinction between the qualities of Hot Springs Story and Game Dev Story. The latter will be inherently more interesting for gamers and as such, probably fares worse on the iPhone, while Hot Springs Story is more casually slanted but skews for a unique cultural niche.

    This lack of interactivity and interesting things to do really hurts Hot Springs Story.

    The game is at once incredibly simple to learn and play, but at the same time, that beautiful Lego-esque state of constant building, destroying, and rebuilding, always searching for that optimal configuration, is so satisfying.
