Cooking Tale vs Shop Heroes
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.
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.
