Pixel Shopkeeper vs Sunken Secrets
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!
Sunken Secrets
Sunken Secrets is a pretty unique farm simulation game mainly because most of the gameplay takes place under the sea! With magic as the main way to uncurse buildings so you can restore them, you'll need to build a variety of magic-producing structures to collect magic from. Being a farm game, you can also plant, grow and harvest a variety of fictional crops - you're already growing stuff underwater... what you'd expect, right? - which you can then turn into other products like delicious beverages and foodstuff. Aside from being able to trade with other players through the market, Sunken Secrets also has an exploration aspect since you can discover and travel to different islands.If you love playing farm sims with a dash of adventure in it (like Fairy Kingdom, for example), then you'll love Sunken Secrets! You can play the game by downloading it from Big Fish Games or on your mobile devices (Android and iOS).
