Shoppe Keep

I don't know if it's clear from my hours, but I do enjoy this game. Mostly because I enjoy a game that I can pick up for an hour or two, zone out a bit, and put it down again. Which is what this game is best at, if you're expecting something with substance and story, this won't be the game for you.

The game is filled with tutorials for easy playing, and anything that's unclear, is super easy to find online. While it's repetitive, the game never hides that from you and I feel that's kind of the point. You're not an adventurer, or a hero, you're just a shopkeeper. Your life will be the casual day to day, selling products, (and zapping thieves.)

If anything, I find the achievements difficult due to the sheer scale needed (Killing 1000 thieves, 100 barbarians, playing a whole year, etc). My second issue (That I find more funny then upsetting,) ist when Barbarians attack, all the brave heroes, with armour and weapons, flee for their lives. Leaving you alone to deal with the attack. I just find it odd that you, the humble shopkeep, are expected to fight the barbaric army.

I def recommend, it's bare bones, but it's entertaining, and the 'bare bones' style works well for what the game is.

Ugly, clunky, and buggy, but still somehow totally enjoyable.

Great game It's a bunch of fun. Well worth the price tag for the hours you'll be entertained. If you like running a shop or management/tycoon games you'll like this one. Everything is explained with short concise written tutorials and I find it to be fun despite the slight repetitiveness. Getting the helper robot is probably a good thing to do early to keep yourself from getting bored of stocking. 7.8/10

While the game seems rather unfinished, what is here is still quite fun, it has a good gameplay loop with a charming style.

i loved this game, i still do and play it when i get nostalgic. too bad they abandoned it.

Shoppe Keep. I should play this game again. Its a Classic. So much better than Shoppe Keep 2
