Classic Kairosoft Charm

With adorable pixel art, upbeat music, and intuitive gameplay, Pocket Arcade Story DX carries the signature charm Kairosoft is known for—while offering deeper mechanics and newer features for longtime fans.

Build & Customize Your Arcade

Choose the layout of your arcade with total freedom to place game cabinets, decorations, vending machines, and even snack stalls like a crepe stand! Use your creativity to design an inviting, fun space that keeps customers coming back.

Merge & Upgrade Games

Start with a few basic arcade machines and, as you grow, merge games together to create unique and exciting new titles. Better games attract more gamers—leading to bigger profits and even more customization options.

Host Fighting Game Tournaments

One of the standout features in Pocket Arcade Story DX is the brand-new fighting game tag battles. Unlock special tournaments by building a loyal customer base, then watch your regulars battle it out with special moves. Winning a tournament boosts your arcade’s reputation and foot traffic!

Master the Claw & Token Machines

Adjust the strength of the claw crane or the winning probability of token machines to balance fun and profitability. Too easy, and you lose money; too hard, and customers walk away frustrated. Finding the sweet spot is part of the strategy.

Keep Customers Comfortable

Add chairs, soda fountains, and other amenities to keep visitors happy and spending more time (and money) in your arcade. Their satisfaction influences your arcade’s rating and overall success.

Reach 5-Star Status

As you grow your arcade, your ultimate goal is to earn a 5-star rating. This requires smart management, engaging design choices, and satisfied customers. Can you build the next legendary arcade?
