User Reviews

Hot Springs Story is praised for its addictive management gameplay, distinctive art style, and nostalgic value as a classic Kairosoft title. However, users commonly report that the game becomes boring after the early years due to limited new content and slow progression. A frequent complaint is the inability to move or rotate facilities after placement, which restricts customization and strategy. Additionally, many find the game’s price high relative to its limited variety of buildings and short playtime.

Pros

Addictive and fun gameplay with engaging management mechanics
Unique and appealing art style
Classic and well-loved Kairosoft game
Enjoyable building and upgrading experience
Good nostalgic value for returning players

Cons

Gameplay becomes slow and content dries up after mid-to-late game
Cannot move or rotate facilities once placed, causing frustration
Relatively high price for the amount of content and game length
Limited variety in facilities and events
Slow progression and slow customer walking speed making gameplay feel dragged

I know this game is old, but i'm going to try to be unbiased. The early game was very good, the mechanics are well explained, and building the hot springs were very fun. But after around the 4th year, the content (facilities, events) starts to slow down drastically. All that's left is to wait for the shop to refresh, buy some items to spend, wait again. The second half of the game is painfully boring. The small variety of facility and store are also a tad dissapointing. (Cleared the 16th year)

I played the light version of this game before getting the play pass trial so I could play it fully, this game definitely has lived in my mind rent-free for years and I'm glad to be playing it again, the art style is so unique and it's very fun leveling up. I do wish it was similar to Cafe stories or maybe you could take on guests troubles or just have more things to do in the interim other than upgrading and building.
