Super fun!!
Played it for about 45 minutes... It's pretty good overall. I'd say its a $5-8 game. The bones are there for sure, it just needs refinement. And that will 100% be on the developer and how interested they are in making a good game vs making a game. It needs heavy mod support too. Any game like this that isn't easily and heavily modded is just not good enough to compete with the others.
Bon jeu qui a beaucoup de potentiel ! Certes il demande encore quelques améliorations mais les développeurs ont l'air très réactifs. Les graphismes des jeux et consoles sont très beaux et le système de gestion dynamique des prix est intéressant. C'EST UN JEU A SUIVRE !
Rapaziada acessível, pensando no melhor do game, da comunidade que se inicia e com carinho na parada. Compra sem medo que o futuro vai ser ótimo!
Le jeu est formidable, beaux graphisme, gameplay agreable. Il y a toutes les consoles de mon enfance, et surtout la Philips Videopac, en 1978 elle a était ma premiere console.Que de souvenirs, je conseille ce jeu a tout le monde.
I've been having a really good time with Game Store Chronicle so far. It's a relaxing management game that\s easy to get into, but there's still enough strategy to keep me coming back. Building up the store, managing inventory and watching my business grow is a lot of fun. Looking forward to future updates and more content.
Love this game, Chilled music is great the art takes me back to the early 90s as well as the consoles and games. On day 23 and level 25 each new game and console comes out at a great pace.. Can't wait for employees to see how they work.. Massive thumbs up from me
Gunna start off and say that I only ran into a few bugs while playing this on release day. I like the game and the concept really had me hooked from the announcement! There are a few things that I think can be fixed or looked at in the future. The checkout portion seems kind of clunky, but specifically when handling the cash but the credit card portion is smooth asf! I like the idea of the timeline, but it does not seem like we're given a lot of tasks in the HUD that can help us level up, only given it in the red line on the top of the screen. I really like the implementation of different buffs we can get when we leveled up. The only few things that were annoying was guests spotting dirty floors or garbage before the player can, maybe adding a highlighting system would be good! Also getting negative impact on our store rating when a guest sees delivery boxes isn't fun, especially when we're actively restocking. I also wish that delivers were instant especially to help restock on game release day. All in all, I really enjoy this game so especially with the future it could have!
le jeu à beaucoup de possibilités à voir si les développeurs vont en faire quelque chose... honnêtement c'est le meilleur jeu sur ce thème a l'heure actuel vous serez vendeur dans une boutique de jeux vidéo de la génération odyssey à la playstation 1 (à la sortie du jeu ) console disponible à la 1.0 odyssey atari2600 NES Master system Snes Mega Drive N64 Ps1 les + : -jolie, le jeu est soigné sur les console ,les jeux, les périphériques (jeux ,boites etc) -il a la particularité d'avoir des prix qui fluctuent en fonction des ventes donc rien n'est fixe -vraiment grosse possibilité de devenir un jeu super par la suite si le suivi est la les - - les HAHA! des clients tous les deux secondes -la boutique qui se salie trop vite, et les gens en font tout une histoire. Une trace de pas , un gobelet par terre -2points sur la note de votre boutique ,trop contraignant a l'heure actuel, je ne comprends pas cette fonctionnalité .Il faut aussi nettoyer les meubles avec un marteau la aussi encore pas compris le principe... -on ne peut pas embaucher de caissier à l'heure actuel (mais on peut choisir de valider directement la vente sans avoir a rendre la monnaie )
rendu jour 10 trop de bug des ranger quon ne peut plus bouger remplir rien
