My Cafe: Recipes and Stories vs Shop Heroes
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories is the simulation game to play if you enjoy the intrigue and storyline in games like Suburbia 2 and yet love the idea of managing your very own virtual cafe. Partner up and help your friend Ann in the classy cafe you both own and manage it to the best of your ability. In some way, the game feels a lot like a tycoon game mainly because you can actually adjust the prices of the food and drinks you sell. The profits you get can then be injected back into your business through the purchase of beautiful decor or even building a new restaurant.There are also various special recipes that you can discover. The best part though is the many compelling stories you'll be privy to whenever an interesting customer enters your shop. You can even interact with the customer through a selection of dialogues and influence the plot. In some way, through these tiny snippets of gossip, you can learn more about the town and the residents in it.
My Cafe: Recipes and Stories is a pretty unique cafe simulation that fans of games like Suburbia 2, or even restaurant simulaiton games in general, may enjoy. If this sounds great to you, well, be sure to check the game out!
Shop Heroes
Shop Heroes is an incredibly fun and addictive, medieval/fantasy shop simulation that has some RPG elements. In this game, you play as a shopkeeper with a newly established shop that provides various types of RPG adventurers with their weapons, armor, and accessories. As opposed to only selling them, you will also need to hire crafters to craft the said items, and each crafter has their own sets of skills while each item will require certain sets of skills to craft. Thankfully, you can hire more than one crafter (eventually) and hence, you will be able to produce more than a few selected categories of items later down the road.These items can then be sold to the RPG adventurers who approach you at your shop. Selling to them, however, usually means that you'll be selling at market price, though you are given the option to lower your prices to earn Hearts or use Hearts to inflate your prices. Since most adventurers would want a very specific item to buy, which you may not have available, you can also use Hearts to change their minds. Naturally, trying to suggest a closer alternative to buy would cost you fewer Hearts.
The game also has RPG elements where you can recruit and send adventurers into various dungeons to earn special crafting materials that these dungeons only provide. There's PvP as well, where you can assemble a team of 5 to battle a randomly selected player's team of your bracket. Not to mention, you can even group up with other shopkeepers via guilds and work together on weekly challenges to win freebies, in addition to cooperatively building up the guild facilities so as to obtain a better guild-wide buff.
Shop Heroes is a game that is one of its kind because it not only managed to flawlessly merge both shop simulation and RPG into a fun and exciting package, but also to provide its game completely free. You can advance, albeit at a slower pace, in this game without spending a single cent if you like, but of course, if you enjoyed playing the game, you might want to spend some cash just to show your support.
