Tennis Club Story

Kairosoft is a software developer that is based in Shinjuku, Tokyo and they create PC and mobile phone games utilizing pixel art. It began with a guy named Usui Kazuyuki who would use the pen name "Oyama Kairo".
And he would create games in college and when companies asked him to develop games for the Nintendo DS, he would end up creating Kairosoft in 2007 and would create apps for a membersite, Kairo Park.
And this company would grow to nearly two dozen staff and focus on new apps for Android and iOS, as well as for the PC and consoles. And these popular games continue since 2008 to the present.
If anything, Usui and his company garnered a lot of followers because he created these fun, management driven type of games with many themes that would attract fans of the games all over the world.
It began in 2008 with "Game Dev Story" and over 45 games later, in October 2015, the company released "Tennis Club Story".
The game starts off with you and a partner founding their own Tennis club. Starting from scratch and taking part in small events to make money, training your players and eventually taking on opponents in the community and later to major events, while growing your tennis club to add convenience stores, department stores, indoor gyms, swimming pools, hot springs, etc.
And also attracting to sponsors and if you use their products, they develop better ones for you to assist with you and your star tennis players.
For the most part, "Tennis Club Story" is addicting. And while you don't play the tennis game per see, you are in control of your players development and also selecting tactics ala strategies during gameplay.
And development of the players is important, so you can take on other tennis players from their own club and earn more money, management points, sponsor items and practice points.
But also knowing that to make money, you need to spend money and some of these structures are expensive and also player clothing can get expensive (especially if you grow your tennis crew as it will be important to develop a team of guys, ladies, seniors, kids who can play the game) and development to play solo or doubles.
It's a very addictive game like other Kairosoft games.
With that being said, it does become a bit grindy (like an RPG Tactics game) especially once you start adding more players, you're going to have to develop each one and also teach them how to coach and that means, making more money, earning more management points and practice points.
I do have to say that I love the nod to Seishun Gakuen (for those familiar with the manga/anime "Tennis no Ojisama"/Prince of Tennis), as one of the better clothing gear are the Seishun Gakuen style of tennis gear.
But I am enjoying this game and slowly trying to get everyone up to level 20...that is a grindfest on its own. But I am enjoying this game a lot.
And while it's one of their older games from 2015, one thing about Kairosoft games is they still look fresh and new because it's pixel-based.
"Tennis Club Story" is a game that will entice those who love tennis done Kairosoft style and are into management-based games.

Definitely too grindy vs other Kairosoft games I enjoy,but much less so than Kairosoft games I dislike.
Not much to say other then that it barely passes my recommendation criteria.
