User Reviews

Overall, CD Market is praised for its immersive, realistic label simulation, lack of ads, and active developer support, with strong replay value. The main recurring criticisms are the endgame depth and balancing, the tedium of managing multiple artists without automation, and occasional event-driven difficulty spikes. The game remains compelling for fans of depth and systems, especially with its 90s vibe and ongoing updates.

Pros

Extremely immersive and detailed music label simulation with deep customization and realistic systems.
No ads or microtransactions; upfront price is worth the depth for many players.
Active, helpful developer with regular updates and a supportive community (Discord) that keeps the game evolving.
High replay value and sandbox-style play; flexible, multi-artist dynamism and strategies.
Rich business mechanics (sales, bookings, touring, and awards) that feel authentic and engaging.

Cons

Endgame progression can feel shallow once artists hit; calls for more endgame depth and automation (producers, automation, etc.).
Campaigns/events can be unbalanced or punishing, leading to frustration and difficult gameplay at times.
Managing several artists is tedious; players want automation or better tools to handle multiple acts or groups.
Some players feel the price is steep or questionable value, though many still view it as worth it.

Honestly have put far too much time into this game since I bought it! It’s entertaining challenging and honestly so fun! Worth every penny and looking forward to playing the PC version soon!

The love that’s been poured into this game is apparent. Plus, with no microtransactions, you’re not left feeling like a pay pig for the developer. This game is genuinely good, deep, and shows a ton of potential. As it stands right now I’d give it an easy 9 out of 10, and I can see it becoming a perfect game if the dev keeps adding QoL changes, depth, and maybe even DLC one day. To the dev: THANK YOU! We need more game devs like you. I will also be gladly purchasing this game on steam when it comes out. I played the demo on PC and I feel like it definitely needs a lot of work compared to the mobile version, but after all; it is just a demo (on PC anyways) All in all, tremendous job done here and this game should stand as a reminder that devs should prioritize creating a legitimately GOOD game over some lame cash grab riddled with features locked behind pay walls. Thanks again!
