Tattoo Tycoon

Looks great, and i was really wanting to get into this game, However tattooing just Two lines & the tattoo is then complete seemed to little. Would seem you can't even colour the tattoos in either. This made the games price seem to much and a waste. So i refunded this.

Price point may scare some people off but personally I really like this game! But yes, I believe the 2 DLC's should have just been included with the base game. Graphics remind me of a blend between Nintendo's Mii's and Two Point. They are very charming. Your character is completely customizable from facial features to hair, clothing and accessories. More goodies unlock as you progress in the game! The Tattoo Parlor is your oyster as you decorate, furnish and tidy up to heart's content. Objects you place can actually be interacted with by your character which add for a lively world! Same as for the cosmetics; new objects become available with progress. But they still need to be unlocked with 'inspiration' points. (More on that later) The tattoo loop goes as following: You consult with your client about their interests/dislikes/preferred tattoo style and suggest a stencil. If the consultation goes well: once at the tattooing chair you can look together for a perfect placement (higher pain levels give more $$$ but are more difficult). After choosing a position for the stencil a tattooing mini-game pops up where you have to stay as close as possible to the blue line and collect 'stars' (aka inspiration points) along the way. It doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you don't see too many ' X ' on your screen and keep your clients pain levels in check, some have a higher tolerance than others. After completion the client will show off the work you put on their bodies. If you made too many mistakes you won't get paid. I have to say the first time doing the mini-game was a bit uneasy but you really grow into it and it stars getting easier, just don't give up! It's handy to know you don't have to do the ENTIRE tattoo but just a couple of lines here and there until it completes itself. If the tattoo mini-game is not your cup of tea you can skip it entirely and choose for auto-tattoo. Next to cash you receive a special currency called 'inspiration points' which are used to unlock various options in the game. Furniture, stencils, booster packs and a whole array of skills in different categories, depending on what you'd like to train first! If your business is booming, you can rely on hiring staff members, each with their own special talents! So you can let someone else do the consults and/or tattooing for you so you can focus on other things. During your day you have random events happening and challenges you can accept. Story and characters are fun so far. My only complaint is that there is a bug during dialogue where some of lines get skipped. I hope this review helps to paint a better picture of the game and will help people with their decision about buying. For me, this one's a bop! ᡣ𐭩

[h3] I wanted to love it, ended up hating it. [/h3] First thing [u] every single NPC [/u] , looks like a non binary or transgender individual. (No offense to those.) But is like a normal female or male don't exist in this game and that is a no for me. If you're tattooing manually, the mini game makes little sense, doesn't matter if it says easy or hard it will always be hard and I think is an issue of the gameplay. Basically the difficulty only changes the customers pain sensibility and if you choose the tattooing automatically feature it doesn't guarantee success or a happy customer even when choosing the correct tattoo based on what they like. I honestly believed the game had great potential but the things listed above killed my enjoyment.

This game looked super fun, and I love simulator games, so I was super excited when it went on sale after being in my wishlist for awhile... but I really did not like this at all, and wish I had read through the comment section first before I bought it. Would have saved myself the money and time. The gameplay is odd, the tattooing is weird and not at all enjoyable, even when you do well you don't feel as though you accomplished anything by drawing a couple of weird lines and calling it a day. I could rush through it and do a crappy job and get the same kind of reaction. For the price that it is (and I got it on sale) it is not worth it. Unless there's some kind of difference in gameplay after the 2 hour mark that I've just not hit yet, but I doubt I'm going to give this any additional time. Maybe if I'm super bored one day. Lol.

Ich hatte mich eigentlich sehr auf das Game gefreut. Die Grafik ist cute. ´ Die Story doch recht nett gestaltet. Witzige Nebencharaktere. Coole Dialoge. Ein eigenes Studio zum Einrichten und Erweitern. All das sind eigentlich gute Grundzutaten für ein solides Gaming Vergnügen. Bis dann das Gameplay passierte... Alles mit Mini-Games. Das Tättoowieren an sich, ist extrem schwierig, besonders an der Tastatur und mit der Maus. Es benötigt eine sehr sehr ruhige Hand, Feingefühl beim Nachfahren der Linien und dann ein sehr knappes Zeitfenster um von Punkt zu Punkt zu gelangen. Man hat je nach Tattoo 2 -3 Linien maximal die man vervollständigen kann. Mehr geht nicht. Kein Colorieren, kein Akzente setzen.. nix. Klar kann man das Minigame überspringen, mit dem Automatischen Tättoowieren, ABER! Man wird mit einem Malus belegt.. Weniger Geld, Inspiration, Reputation plus.. es ist nicht einmal gewiss, dass man das Tattoo erfolgreich beendet. Hinzu kommt, das es gibt keinerlei Einstellungen für die Maussteuerung in den Optionen gibt. Bei Controller sind es zig Einstellungen aber für die Maus? Nix. Sehr bedauerlich. Die Menge an Energie für die verschiedenen Tätigkeiten geht schnell zur Neige. An manchen Tagen kommt man ingame nicht einmal dazu, alles zu machen. Erinnert mich sehr stark an das Prinzip von manch einem Handygame, wo es zuviel zu tun gab, aber nie genug Energie. Das Freischalten der Items , sowohl von Mobiliar als auch für die Tattoos ist doch ein bisschen much. Gefühlt braucht man die Inspiration für alles, bekommt aber sehr wenig, wenn man alles mal auf Automatisch versucht. Und dann, muß man auch noch für alles was man gelernt hat, Geld obendrauf bezahlen. Da sollte sich ggf. doch nochmal drangesetzt werden, zu überdenken, ob die Mechanik so das richtige ist für dieses Game. Zu guter Letzt, der Preis. Mich hat der Preis bei Release doch etwas erschrocken. Hatte doch eher unter 20 Euro gerechnet, statt fast 30 Euro. Es erscheint mir derzeit auch nicht angemessen. Dazu gibt es zuvieles, wo die Entwickler nochmal draufschauen sollten. Plus, das Game ist noch nicht ganz 2 Monate vollständig im Release und hat bereits 2 Pay to Play DLC für neue Tattoo Motive, ein wenig Kleidung und ein Paar Dekorationen. Warum sind neue Tattoomotive hinter einer Paywall?

The Tattoo mini game is literally impossible

You for real aren't able to create a hetero male character in this game, no kidding.

Too much microamanagement and minigames. Just boring and not fun at all. 3/10.

目前不值原价。美术和ui确实很不错，风格上有点像the tenant。但是策划太拉跨了。 1. 我很想知道里面这个手动纹身游戏到底是设计给什么设备玩的？数位板玩家吗？还是触屏玩家？做出这个玩法的策划请问你自己用鼠标或者控制器玩过吗？那么长的一条线，还细，又有曲线又有折线的，甚至真的是描平时常见的纹身图案，用鼠标要全描下来，甚至还有时间限制，我有这手我直接去当真纹身师多好啊。从来没玩过一个游戏教程关都能失败两三次的，这个玩法真的需要改一下……已经丢失了休闲的本意了，而且虽然咨询和纹身都可以自动or雇佣员工，但是每次特殊npc都要经历一次手动纹身失败2-4次的地狱，真的真的太折磨了。 2. 数值上，顾客的耐心值也有问题，我从隔壁房间马不停蹄走到柜台的功夫，顾客已经开始不耐烦了。 3. 除了第一点最难受之外，其他地方也多多少少有点别扭。纹身图案是会消耗的卡牌，纹过一次就要花费灵感值补新的牌，刚开始获取灵感值很慢很慢，但补一张牌就要几十一百多，助力包也是一百开始卖，这还只是店里其中一个需要花灵感值的地方，其他的解锁家具、学习技能、学习新风格每个都是100-150起步，也并没有循序渐进的系统，最重要的是灵感值，竟然！每天晚上都要清零!这个设计到底是为了什么！并且晚上还有午夜强制要回家的规定，结合第二点，我为了让顾客不因为没耐心而离开，我一天也得守在柜台前，忙忙碌碌到下班，还得花完灵感值才能走，一不小心就午夜了……形成了一个下班后忙得要死，上班前啥也干不了的诡异局面，安排上自由度变得比较低。 4. 不知道是中文翻译的问题还是什么，里面出现了很多显示*missing*的地方，感觉像没读取到翻译。 总之不值，我甚至还买了全部dlc，希望开发能尽快完善下吧。

Tattoo Tycoon is a great tycoon game with a story and optional goals for each in-game day. There is also a mini-game for placing tattoos. No miserable achievements and completion takes around 40h.

Most Tycoon games don't have a story at all, and while you can ignore the story here, I'm glad it is there! I noticed the game first because of the cute art style, but stayed for the story and how much fun it is! You start with a small business where you do everything yourself, consulting as well as placing the tattoos. However, soon you'll be able to hire people to help you out. You get tasks to level up your shop and when you reach 2 out of 3 stars you can move on to the next shop where you'll discover new tattoo designs and get new challenges and more story moments. I love the management in this game, being able to have people working in the store and even having the main character kinda do some tasks without much of your input if you want to. I also love where the story went to, at first it seems shallow but it gets more depth later on. What I love the most is the quests, small checklists to work toward to increase your store level and with that also how many people will visit your business. You have an overall quests to increase your store level, as well as short daily quests to strive toward. The tattoo mini game takes a bit of time to get used to. I highly recommend first setting tattoos manually on "easy" spots only. To get used to it. And focus on staying on the line or on speed, not on both at the same time. You'll get better at it and be able to do well on both parts. I was totally fine using my trackball mouse to set the tattoos, but I heard from my friend [url=https://www.youtube.com/@Tchii/videos] Tchii [/url] that she preferred using a gamepad. This might be different per person or a difference between a normal mouse and a trackball. I struggled a bit with keeping up with the store. I love that you were able to add all kinds of extra selling items to your store, but keeping them in stock was a struggle. When you have one of your staff members not assigned to a spot, it will clean up trash cans and dirty spots on the floor, but sadly, it will not restock the vending machines and other sellable items. Achievement-wise, none of the achievements are missable. You can just focus on the main quests and move on to the next store location after reaching 2 stars. To be able to unlock the last location you have to consult and place 10 legendary tattoos manually. This seems to be a bug as it says "manually set 10 legendary tattoos," but for now, it is also required to be the one who consult the customer and not letting your staff members do this. I haven't finished the story yet, as I'm struggling with the last location, in which you have only 1 day to complete a bunch of quests. It feels like the difficulty level went up a lot in this last challenge, which makes sense for the story but after like 15 tries I still haven;t been able to successful pass that event. I give Tattoo Tycoon 4 out of 5 stars. [code]Do you enjoy games that don't have missable achievements?
