About
Recettear is the story of an item shop, the girl who lives in it, and the fairy who turned her life upside down. Recette Lemongrass finds herself in charge of an item shop built into her house, in order to pay back a loan her father took and then skipped out on - and Tear, her newfound fairy "companion", won't take no for an answer! As Recette, you have to decide how you'll get your stock - either through playing the markets in town or going out into the wild with an adventuring friend and thrashing beasts until they give up the goodies - how much to sell things for, what the shop should look like, and how to best go about getting the money Tear needs to pay off the loan. If you can't come up with the money... well, hope you like living in a cardboard box.

The best shopkeep game with high replayability and just the right amount of challenge.
I just didn't have fun with it. Cute concept, fun interactions, but ultimately not fun for me.

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale kombiniert raffiniert Wirtschaftssimulation mit Rollenspielelementen. Als Ladenbesitzerin verkaufst du in einem charmanten Fantasyreich Gegenstände. Das einzigartige Gameplay, bei dem du sowohl den Ladenführungsaspekt als auch Dungeon-Erkundungen meisterst, ist fesselnd. Die Charaktere sind liebenswert, und die humorvolle Geschichte hebt sich ab. Die steile Lernkurve und der repetitive Ablauf können jedoch zunächst überwältigend wirken. Die Grafik ist einfach, aber effektiv. Insgesamt bietet Recettear eine originelle Spielerfahrung, die jedoch für diejenigen, die sich nicht auf den Mix aus Genres einlassen können, möglicherweise zu herausfordernd ist.
One of my favorite shop games. There's a couple ways to play it, either by dungeons or just trading! Dungeons, market, item discoveries, nostalgic art, characters and storyline are very cute and engaging. Easy to pick up and replay. I come back to it every year or so and still discover new items. I do wish there were customization features, but overall a very fun, cute, and nostalgic game that I keep coming back too.
Yay Capitalism!
Jogo muito legal, recomendado para quem gosta de gerenciamento e crafting.
