Cooking Tale vs Merchant
Cooking Tale
Cooking Tale is a fun yet somewhat simple, cooking-themed time management game that is developed by Gamegos. In this game, you'll assume the role of a fresh graduate with a culinary diploma and a determination to make it on her own. You stumbled upon a rundown burger stand and thought... well, why not start there?The gameplay in Cooking Tale will definitely put your time management skills to the test and keep constantly busy as you try your best to fulfill all your customers' orders. Unlike other games, you have a pretty trimmed-down upgrades system for your kitchen tools but in terms of shop decor, which should help you extend the patience of your customers, there is only very few of them. Due to this, the game actually relies more on your skills rather than the tools you use. But of course, if you need some help, there are always boosters to tilt a game to your advantage.
Featuring over 730 levels of widely varying themes, Cooking Tale is a mobile/Facebook game that's simple enough to be perfect for some casual time management fun and yet is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more.
Merchant
Merchant is a fun little idle game that's designed to be played on the side, while you're doing something else on the computer. In the game, you'll need to hire heroes who you will then send out on adventures to gather crafting materials. The materials obtained can then be turned into numerous types of armor and weapons, which you can in turn equip on your heroes or sell them off for a tidy profit. There are two main ways for you to sell your goods - you can either put it up for sale in your shop or you can fulfill the orders of passing merchants and heroes.Although the game starts out as pretty fun, the progression in this game gradually becomes rather grindy after a while - imagine: sending the same hero on the same quest will require the same amount of clicks as sending the hero on a new quest or even sending a new hero. Some automation would be great here, especially considering that the game's an idle game.
So, despite the fun concept and gameplay, its progression can truly kill your interest in the game. That being said, if you just want a simple game to play as you watch Netflix or YouTube on your computer, Merchant might just be the kind of game for you!
