Food Street vs Pixel Shopkeeper
Food Street
Food Street is a restaurant simulation and management game developed by Supersolid. In this game, you'll get to set up and decorate your own virtual restaurant where you'll not only be managing it, but you'll also need to farm for the ingredients that go into your cooking. So, in some way, it's a farm simulation as well. That said though, the restaurant sim is still the main aspect of this game, so you can expect to spend a lot more time preparing dishes, serving them to customers and discovering new recipes as you go along.What's most appealing about this game is definitely its beautiful 3D models that bring the entire game to life. Of course, to make the game even more attractive to players, it's very social as well. Yopu can actually trade dishes or cook cooperatively with your friends.
Aside from having gorgeous graphics, Food Street also has one of the most addictive gameplay around for a restaurant simulation and management game. If you get the chance, you should really give this game a try - you'll love it!
Pixel Shopkeeper
Pixel Shopkeeper is a fun, indie shop simulation and management game where you head out to raid dungeons just so you can gather items to sell and then sell them at your very own shop. The looting system in this game is immensely challenging. It has a bit of inventory management that may bring to mind dungeon crawlers like Diablo, but unlike those games, this one employs a tetris-like gameplay. So, basically, you'll be trying to bring back as many items as you can by fitting each oddly-shaped items (like tetris pieces) into your square-shaped bag. You can purchase other bags later on as well. Different bags have different grid shapes, making fitting those items a bit more challenging than usual. Some even have special grids that will double or triple the number of the item that is placed over it.Featuring nostalgic pixel graphics, this game also has a rather unique "crafting system" - if you even can call it that - whereby you can combine lower-level items to create a higher quality and hence, more valuable item. This also means that you may find yourself re-running lower level dungeons just so you can gather enough items to do your crafting.
Being a simulation game, your shop is upgradable too. You can purchase better furniture such as display shelves, tables, or cases to place more items on display. Note that only displayed items can be sold. You can also polish the items while waiting for customers just so you can get extra cash from the "Shiny" bonus. The adventurers you sell your items to may have special quests for you from time to time. Oh, and don't forget to tap on them as they pass by your shop to encourage them to check out your wares!
Despite its simple, pixel looks, Pixel Shopkeeper is a surprisingly in-depth shopkeeping simulation game with some elements of RPGs. It's very entertaining to be able to farm dungeons for the items you sell and even turn them into more profitable goods. If you enjoy a good shop simulation game and you like idle-like RPGs, then this is a game you don't want to miss!
