Shop Heroes vs Shop Titans
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.
Shop Titans
Shop Titans is a shop simulation game with some RPG elements that you can play on your android device. Similar to Shop Heroes in many ways, the game will have you craft a variety of weapons, armor, and accessories for the adventurers of the fictional world, including the heroes you’ll hire, to use as they head out into various locations to battle enemies for rarer crafting materials. The game is surprisingly social as well, as it features a guild system where players can work together to develop their own city.Despite looking like a clone of the popular Facebook game, Shop Heroes, Shop Titans is actually quite different - partly in good ways and partly in bad. The great parts include the addition of research scrolls, which gets players to keep leveling up lower-level blueprints just so they can unlock higher-level ones; the lack of a PvP feature, and the importance of your shop’s item displays.
On the other hand, the bad parts include the subscription system, the obvious restriction on Ascension Shards, and the game’s very grindy gameplay right after you hit level 20 since most crafting will require a lot of materials you can only get from adventuring (no one is selling the stuff in the market) by then.
