Our Expert Score

88/100

Forest Camp Story is another delightful management sim from the masters at Kairosoft. If you've played their other 'Story' games, you know exactly what to expect: charming pixel art, deep but accessible simulation mechanics, and a gameplay loop that is impossible to stop. You are tasked with turning a patch of wilderness into a thriving campsite.

What makes this one special is the focus on nature. You have to balance building amenities like stores and bathrooms with preserving the 'forest' vibe. You can even create activities like fishing and guided tours to attract different types of campers. Seeing a group of campers set up their tent and start a campfire is oddly heartwarming. It’s a slow-paced, cozy game that rewards patient planning and creativity. It’s easily one of the best 'chill' simulation games on iOS.

Game breaking bug? Not anymore!
Sun Apr 03 2022 Matty Kahler

UPDATE: Changing this from a one star to five star! A few days after writing my original review complaining about a game (and save file)-breaking bug, the game’s been updated and the bug is gone! Now to the game itself: It’s an amazingly relaxing camping sim in the same vein as other Kairosoft games. Cute, fun, and with ever increasing numbers and research projects, making a camp that’s fun looking AND useful is an enjoyable challenge! One interesting aspect of this game is that you don’t just manage a campground, but you also manage a store in town that sells camping gear! In a cool attention to detail, the goods you sell in city will also show up on the campers that come to your campgrounds!

I’ve loved kariosoft games for years and years, my favorites being sushi spinnery, pocket stables, pocket clothier, and game dev, amongst a few others. This one is a good concept but unfortunately I didn’t find myself getting hooked, and I think that was due to progression. It felt a bit slow and formulaic, with not much in between spending and saving sprees. Usually these games have me hooked and coming back for hours on end, but with this one I played for about 3 hours straight, then couldn’t find myself wanting to open the app again. This could entirely just be my own experience, but I believe the concepts of the new ones right now like tropical resort and convince store might just be a better fitting theme for me. Overall, give it a try! It’s good fun as always but just felt slower and not much to keep me personally engaged for very long.

Perfect!

This is exactly the kind of kairosoft game I want. It’s fun, cute, lots to do, easy to learn. This whole game is so charming and makes me feel like I did playing some of my other favorites like Cruiseship story, hot springs, ski resort, and The Megamall. I love that we can alter terrain and add water to the landscape and that the pathing for the visitors is better. Visitors can walk through/around everything to get to where they need to go so it’s easier to place buildings and decorate. Thank you for those improved features. I definitely recommend this game.

One of my all time favorites

I absolutely adore this game, the art is beautiful as always and this game takes decoration to a new level with the beautiful character art a gorgeous day night cycle and just the most serine and cozy kairosoft games to date. This, spa story 2, and dream home story are just my absolute favorites to build and create it. The only thing that would make this game better is a creative sandbox mode hah

It’s fun but..

I was excited to play this since I’ve been a kairosoft fan for years. This one though left me a bit unsatisfied. The map looked exciting at first but it soon felt very small and limited as I couldn’t really expand as much as I wanted and to satisfy the guests, you have to stack the planes extra high for some and it gives very little space. Plus there’s only one kind of map and you couldn’t try other layouts. The store was a fun addition and enjoyable all in all. To give you an idea, my favorites from the developers are: Hot spring 1, world cruise, cafe nipponica, dream house.

Enjoy the pace of this Less pop up boxes during the game play which is good Less strategic placements allows more creative in planning However the bulldozer land formation doesn’t work as expected.

Game Keeps Crashing.. And Too Easy
Mon Mar 28 2022 Arkham Inmate

I’m surprised at how easy it is to get ahead in this game compared to other Kairosoft titles. The discovery of combos and unique tiems/characters in other games was a great part of the fun when balanced out against making income. Making income is way too easy. My main problem now is I can’t move the store to the next town. Every time it is ready to move, the game crashes. And, since I can’t read Japanese (which is the language the error message is presented in), I have no idea what is going wrong. Very disappointed and will be seeking a refund for the game. I am running an iPad Pro with iOS 14.3.1

Thank you to Kairosoft I have killed hours and hours with them. My girlfriend gets mad at me everytime I play because apparently I play too much but that’s ok. I’ll still support you guys 100%
