Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Stressful at times, but fun

I've had this game on steam for some time now. When I first bought it, I no life played it just to see the ending only to find myself constantly running out of money and making stupid mistakes ( which had me grinding back to where I was with a fresh game...) This game lets you play as the merchant who outfits adventurers; it's all about making money to pay for your stupid dad's quest to be a hero. That said, you can play the game a number of different ways. You could be a market flipper, you could be a sponsor to an adventurer (who you control), you can craft items to sell, or you could just pray to the rng gods that the old man and the woman will actually buy stuff and not haggle you till nightfall. Speaking of nightfall, this game has a day and night cycle that determines what you can do each day with random events that can drastically change how you play the game (some items will be more common or rarer from day to day or you will find special adventurers who you will need to unlock via story.) This game has plenty of replay value and a pretty solid economy system. By far, this is one of the best shop "tycoon" games out there. (On the subject of economy, you level up the economy of your shoppers by giving them deals on cheap items early on. There are plenty of guides about this leveling system.) The end game to this game is decent as well, but can be hard to get to on your first run do to simple early game mistakes screwing you over.
