Dessert Chain vs Merek's Market
Dessert Chain
Dessert Chain is a very addictive and challenging time management game featuring popular desserts, including a particular dish that's very popular in the South-East Asian region. Developed by Indonesia-based games company, TouchTen, Dessert Chain features the somewhat frantic gameplay that you love in most time management game while adding in its unique charm by weaving its local culture into the game's gameplay. When it comes to upgrades, the game uses a system that resembles Cooking Fever, where players will need to use "premium currency" (also gems) to unlock higher level upgrades. And yet, interestingly, players can also collect these gems for free from each of the restaurants they have unlocked in the game.With so many levels to complete and 3 stars each to earn (to fulfill the completionist in you), Dessert Chain is one in many of Touchten's Chain game franchise. Fans of time management games will love playing this game, and from our own positive experience of Dessert Chain, we can confidently say that we recommend this game too!
Merek's Market
Merek's Market is a whimsical shop simulation game with time management elements, putting you into the running shoes of a shopkeeper in a medieval fantasy period where adventurers are aplenty. Craft and sell a huge variety of useful items, be it armor, weapons, potions, or even… pottery, serve your customers as quickly as possible, and try to upsell your items whenever they decide to haggle!As you play, the levels get increasingly more difficult, making that shiny gold rating a real achievement to get. The game also comes with a host of twists to its gameplay, spicing up the typical time management levels with mini-games and funny dialogues.
If you’re a fan of time management games, Merek’s Market offers the kind of gameplay you seek with a couple of nice twists, slathered with enough tongue-in-cheek humor to make you bark out a laugh once or twice on every level. Although I’ve not tried the game’s co-op, its single-player mode is already very entertaining to play, and challenging too, if you’re aiming for that shiny gold rating. Highly recommended!
