Pawn Planet

Fun but glitchy. Items duplicate but aren't clickable so just take up room in your inventory till you find the original and scrap or sell it. I want to be able to buy more repair machines, I've upgraded my shop all the way and still only have 1 repairer, and I REFUSE to sell anything but awesome quality items. The different auction worlds look identical and some bins cost less then the first world unlocked. My janitor robot got stuck in the delivery bay at the back of the shop and I cannot move it from there, it still does its job just magically now.

Lowkey fun and addictive, obvious AI artwork in some spots, which i dont fw tho

I like the game > steam cloud fragged my save and this game wont restore from save file The save system has had me start over to often to be fun

Pawn Planet is a lighthearted yet surprisingly involved simulation that reimagines the familiar pawn shop fantasy on an interstellar scale. Developed and published by Gambol Games, the game places players in charge of a small trading business on a distant planet, where everyday retail instincts collide with bizarre alien technology and unpredictable customers. From its opening moments, it establishes a playful tone that never takes itself too seriously, while still delivering a layered economic loop that rewards attention, risk assessment, and long-term planning. The core gameplay revolves around running your pawn shop day by day, buying and selling items presented by a steady stream of customers from across the galaxy. Each visitor brings their own personality, budget, and tolerance for negotiation, forcing you to quickly judge whether an item is worth the asking price or if there’s room to push for a better deal. Some objects are immediately valuable, while others hide their true potential behind damage, mystery, or incomplete information. This constant evaluation keeps interactions engaging, as every transaction carries the tension of potential profit or costly misjudgment. Beyond simple buying and selling, Pawn Planet deepens its simulation through repair and restoration mechanics. Many items arrive broken or partially functional, requiring players to invest time and resources into fixing them before they can reach full value. Deciding whether to sell something immediately at a lower price or repair it for a higher payout becomes a recurring strategic choice, especially when cash flow is tight. Managing parts, repair queues, and workstations adds a subtle layer of logistics that transforms the shop from a simple counter-based operation into a small production pipeline. One of the game’s most distinctive features is its auction system, which introduces bursts of high-risk decision-making into the otherwise steady rhythm of shop management. Storage auctions allow players to bid on sealed units filled with unknown contents, turning speculation into a central mechanic. Winning a unit can result in extraordinary profits if rare items are uncovered, but it can just as easily saddle the player with piles of useless junk. These moments inject excitement and unpredictability into progression, rewarding players who balance intuition with restraint. The broader structure of the game is built around gradual expansion and reputation growth. As profits increase, players can upgrade their shop, unlock new tools, and access a wider range of customers and opportunities. Missions and objectives provide direction without overwhelming the sandbox nature of the experience, offering optional goals that help pace progression. Occasional complications, such as theft or unexpected expenses, add friction that prevents the game from becoming purely mechanical and reinforces the need for financial buffers and smart planning. Visually, Pawn Planet embraces a colorful, stylized sci-fi aesthetic that gives personality to both environments and characters. Alien customers are exaggerated and expressive, and the items themselves range from mundane trinkets to strange, otherworldly artifacts. While the interface favors functionality over elegance, it generally communicates necessary information clearly once players become familiar with its layout. The presentation supports the game’s humorous tone while remaining readable enough to manage increasingly complex inventories. As playtime extends, some repetition naturally emerges, particularly once players settle into efficient routines and understand optimal strategies. Certain mechanics could benefit from additional variety or deeper systemic twists to maintain long-term unpredictability. However, the game’s charm and pacing help offset these limitations, and its steady stream of decisions keeps engagement intact for players who enjoy incremental growth and optimization. Overall, Pawn Planet succeeds as an approachable yet thoughtful management sim that blends shopkeeping fundamentals with speculative risk and sci-fi humor. Its strength lies in turning ordinary economic choices into moments of tension and satisfaction, whether through a perfectly negotiated deal or a gamble that pays off spectacularly at auction. For players who enjoy trading simulations, casual strategy, and games that emphasize personality as much as profit, Pawn Planet offers a relaxed but rewarding journey through the strange economics of the galactic marketplace. Rating: 7/10

I usually don't touch pawn shop or auction games, but Pawn Planet managed to hook me. It’s surprisingly fun despite my usual preferences. The Good: The main hub (pawn shop planet) looks great, and the NPC designs are actually pretty solid. I picked this up at 40% off, and honestly, it’s a steal at that price. The Bad: Environment Design: The auction planets are way too barren right now. It's just endless, flat ground. It really needs some terrain variety—adding hills, mountains, or even some lakes/seas with different colors would make a huge difference. Bugs: The inventory and storage locker are currently buggy. I’ve had items randomly disappear, though a quick save/reload fixes it. It’s a bit annoying and definitely needs a patch. Good game, but it needs a little more polish on the terrain and inventory system to be truly great. Recommended if you catch it on sale!

CAN YOU PLEASE FIX THE STORAGE IT JUST DELETES EVERYTHING I TAKE OUT OF IT

i do like the game and it is fun to play but go into it with these bugs known so you can avoid issues. items purchased from the discount parts seller can dissapear i lost x5 tongues overnight, now i only buy things as needed for repair. items in storage stack accidentally and get lost, art wont generate so its a blank space or they are overlapped and hard to seperate, worst one is the customers standing at your counter and cant be interacted with, if you run out of items to sell they just stare ar you and you cant do anything, juckily i had soome in storage awaiting repair so i put it on shelf and after 10-15s the ai noticed that new item and offered a deal, the next 7 npcs all asked for same item and i just rejected them all to finish day. when you go to an auction, if it says auction is over just reload the game, it saves each morning so you shouldnt have lost anything. crafting is done at the bar next to casino, i would complete it for quest then no longer use it, used 9k worth of materials to add 10k value, but it failed 3 times first so im in the red 27000. anyway, use a common item thats awesome quality, for me plunger and the bottom bottle worked. buying the house added no benefits and was a waste of money, advancing questline seems to be pointless since it doesnt give much. i reccommend giving it a try, art style is nice and all the cool art is worth it

Le jeu de base est pas mal mais encore trop de bug, les missions de braquage en plus d'être trop chères sont quasi impossible les armes ne tirent pas dans certains cas :( ! Je me suis retrouvé bloqué plusieurs fois quand un client veut un produit déjà acheté par un autre :/ ...

sadly have good chances and i really do give it a chance..... but Bugs after bugs force you to quest reload game,,,, and some times you losee dayes of work not ok..... then if you sell out they wont leave shop ( again force you to reload game and start over ..... come on game how hard can it be Atleast do 1 planet per day open for getting items ..... so many little things ♥♥♥♥ up the game...

klasik al - sat oyunu. yalnızca tema ve birkaç şey daha farklı ama sarıyor. ben beğendim. eşyaları tamir edebilmek için 2 makine olsaydı daha iyi olurdu. sırf depolama sıkıntısı yüzünden açık artırmalara gitmek istemiyorum. oyunda ciddi bir tutorial eksiği var. oyunda birkaç saatimi geçirdim ancak hala daha eşyaları nasıl üreteceğimi bilmiyorum. hadi eşya üretmeyi de geçtim müşteriden valiz satın aldım. satın aldığım valizi ne yapacağımı da bilmiyorum. onun dışında geliştiriciler Türk olduğu halde oyunu neden yarı Türkçe yarı İngilizce bırakmışlar anlam veremedim.
