Game Dev Tycoon vs Shop Heroes
Game Dev Tycoon
Game Dev Tycoon is a fun tycoon game where you get to experience growing a start-up into a successful games company. Here, you not only can enjoy managing your team of game developers; you'll even have the freedom to create a game that you like by simply mixing and matching genres, engines and platforms, and by determining development priorities. There are many different successful genre combinations for you to discover along the way as well and from time to time, you'll be surprised with events that change the public perception of your game. Even a previous successful franchise can fall flat if you don't take into account feedback from your players.Aside from letting its players strive for the "indie to triple A" experience, Game Dev Tycoon does give players a very nice insight into the ins-and-outs of a typical games company as well as into the history of games (game platforms in particular) in an entertaining way. Do give the game a try if you enjoy tycoon games. It is definitely worth every cent you'll spend.
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.
