Our Expert Score
Mega Mall Story is Kairosoft at its absolute best. The 'sim' formula they are famous for works perfectly in a retail environment. There is something deeply satisfying about watching your tiny pixelated mall grow from a single floor with a few shops into a massive, multi-story landmark complete with heliports and sushi bars. The depth of the management is impressive—it's not just about building; you have to strategically place stores to create 'special combos' that boost popularity and sales.
The 'Fever' mechanic, where customers flood the mall, provides a great adrenaline rush and a sense of accomplishment for your design choices. Beyond the mall itself, the ability to invest in the surrounding neighborhood to drive even more traffic adds a layer of 'city builder' logic that keeps the gameplay fresh. Like all Kairosoft games, it's charming, addictive, and perfect for long play sessions. It’s the ultimate management sim for anyone who ever dreamed of running their own retail empire.

Don't just spend on the mall. Invest in local housing and parks to increase the population of the surrounding area, which provides a steady stream of new customers.

Absolutely love it!
Sat Jul 29 2017 PsychovampyreSo I'm an avid simulation game player and I used to love sim tower when I was younger so I decided to give this game a try. Well it wasn't very long before I was completely hooked on it. Mega mall story is a wonderful tower/store simulation game. There are a large variety of stores and facilities that you can build and many different types of customers to serve. The graphics are cute and colorful and game's UI is very easy to use. I've been playing it for hours at a time. One again Kairo has delivered a delightfully complex yet easy to understand sim game that you can play over and over again and without those infuriating in-app purchases that most games require you to buy to fully enjoy the experience. Well worth the $5 price. My only wish is that the devs would add some more content in an update. Thanks guys!
My favorite app
Wed Jul 12 2017 cryostaticroseVery cute and fun game with good replayability. The only suggestion I have is that rival malls should not appear so often after you’ve completed all investment plans as that’s the only way you can get rid of them besides waiting for two years (in the game) for them to go bankrupt. Other than that, Mega Mall Story is a solid app!
Seriously needs an update!
Tue Mar 14 2017 CupcakesGamingI love this game. I can play this for hours on end, but there are some issues that need to be fixed. First, the mall rankings. Before the most recent update, I could easily rank #1 so I could get the casino. Now, no matter how much money I rack up with any of my stores(after continuously using hold sale every month) I always rank #5. I even got close to making $10,000,000 and I STILL got #5! I don't know if it's the way I'm playing or if it's a bug, but it needs to be fixed. Second, the cost of placing different shops, facilities, hallways, etc. Before the update, if say a hallway costed $1000 to make, that's what it costed. Now, it's far more expensive. Let's say if I make 10 hallways, it doesn't cost $10,000 like it used to. It's more like $250,000 or some other ridiculous amount like that, and the cost INCREASES as I make more floors! This is the same with making shops, adding facilities, etc. I love this game, I really do. It's a nice little distraction for me when I need it. But these bugs need to be fixed.
Wonderful.
Wed Dec 05 2018 TrueFilmmaker209Wonderful example of Kairosoft's expertise in tycoon games. I loved playing this game and want more, though I understand this game might not receive updates any time soon, and that's fine. It was a great use of time, and I highly recommend it.
Needs a new update
Wed Apr 28 2021 Update EnjoymentSo yeah, I built my mall fairly well, but I keep losing money despite combos. Items cost too much to build and I don’t understand how to run a fair. No where in the instructions does it tell you how to do it. Every time I try to place it over sections of stores, it won’t take it saying no boxes available. I’m assuming they mean the boxes hanging off the stores but I guess not it doesn’t work.
Pretty Good! Worth the money!!!
Fri Dec 28 2018 AligroseThis is the BEST of the builder type games I’ve played. The throwback pixel graphics brings the innocence back to video games! If you don’t over spend into too deep of debt- you really don’t have to wait long to build stuff. Unlike some “Tycoon” games where you need to spend real money and wait overnight for game credits- you pay one fee upfront WITH NO IN APP PURCHASES😁 and there’s no prolonged waiting. You get a real sense of accomplishment with so many things to do you won’t get bored. It’s really addicting and I highly recommended it!
Great game
Thu Jul 06 2017 IfdseyijncchjytddfMany hours of fun. Very in depth. It's not one of those builder games where you have to wait for things, it's actually pretty fast paced. The amount of content makes it so that you can't finish the game in a day.
Would Recommend
Wed Aug 02 2017 bbygirl 🙊💞I love this game and kairosoft!! Although their apps are pricy which is a minor problem to the game... the game is mostly depended on by patience which is alright. I love the art style and the game really hyped me up sometimes. Although it's a bit pricy, I would recommend. :)
