Shopping Tycoon

Shopping Tycoon is a relaxing management sim with a lot going for it. It could loosely be compared with Project Highrise, but there are marked differences in both gameplay and the artistics. It's flexible and can be as clicky and micro-manage-y as you want, yet the characters do have a certain level of autonomy for those of us who prefer to manage things at a higher level. The Devs are engaged and responsive to feedback, and have been pushing out updates regularly. There are a few quirky bugs and gameplay issues, but they should be squashed in the near future. I'm looking forward to seeing if there is workshop integration in the future. One issue to be aware of is that the store page claims that trading cards are available, but after playing for 18 hours, I have yet to see one drop. Otherwise, a very engaging game and I would recommend it.

Scrolling with the left and right arrow keys killed it for me. Can't press escape to quit the game. WASD is the norm dude. Simple things like that mean alot to me. Maybe if they change that about the game, I'll buy it again . Its a cute game though. Edit: I said I would change my review after a couple things were fixed with the game., and they were! The Devs are great at doing regular updates and they take your ideas into considaration. They fixed my problem in a matter of days, not weeks or months. Thanks Devs!

Its terrible. Does not do what is says it does.

I have had a few hours on this game and already am loving it. Sure, there are a few things to iron out but none are game breaking at all. This will be one of those games that you continuously start again as you learn a better way of doing something :) Recommended for this price!

Nice idea but execution is miserable. First the graphics are bad, nothing works, there is no design harmony nor any design idea behind it. Best way to describe the gameplay would probably be, "One huge Bug". Employees get stuck all the time, they stop moving, customers going through walls, cars driving trought the ground. Just stupid. Game has some potential but current version from the developers is just laughing stock.

There is so much glitch i couldn't even get past 10 mins of the game.

this is one of the best games i have played this year i love it.

Game is full of non-decisions, and is really just about grinding up your cash to build more stuff. No decision is really right or wrong.

I love this game! Unfortunately at level 60 it stopped saving for me, and I lost all but my first floor. I keep going back every few months to see if there is an update, but so far none. I contacted the developer who did try to do everything to help me, I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. Seems like it's an incompatibility to my laptop - which is strange because I've never had that problem with any other game. Developer not only refunded me, but gave me a free game, which gives me hope to keep coming back and checking to see if the glitch has been updated. Maybe it will work on my next laptop....

Unfortunately, there are just too many issues with the game, I can't recommend it. There are glitches where both workers and orders get stuck. This happened three times during my short time with the game. With workers, you fire the stuck character and then re-hire a worker of the same type. Unfortunately, when you do this, you lose any money invested in training the fired/glitchy worker. My store didn't have a lot of lights or other hot items, yet it was very difficult to get the heat down in the store to an acceptable level. I had to install 10 A/C vents just to get the store temperature under 24 degrees celsius. It takes the workers a long time to build and install bought parts in the store. This really slows down the gameplay. It is lacking the marketing aspect of owning a store. I think being able to promote your business would have really added to the gameplay. The graphics are fine for the game. I didn't feel as though the praphics held the gameplay back. There are ot...
