TCG Card Shop Simulator

Жаль русского языка нет. Сделали б хоть машинный перевод

I wanted to like this game and I do like it for a lot of reasons. The reason for the neg review is simple, big money cards are completely worthless in the game because of the progression wall the devs use. By the time you can get a customer that can actually buy a 20k+ card, you won't need the money anymore. This makes the best cards in the game a downer when you pull them instead of reason to celebrate. It kills any joy when you get a lucky pull, which is kinda why people open trading card packs in the first place.

在demo状态挺久了，没有翻游戏的话甚至没印象有玩过。 一般般。

Boring.

played it a while back, glad it got its official release, will be playing it soon <3 on a gameplay note, its quite addicting, maybe because im too broke to open pack irl </3

This is a great shop sim! This game on my steam deck got me through many sleepless nights with my newborn. I'm pumped to create a whole new shop with the 1.0 release.

It's "ok". But I appreciate it's also still in EA. My issues: - Licences make no sense, and are so expensive. - No easy way to lookup a card's grading value when it's being held, making it a nightmare to figure out which cards to send for grading. - No way to get an idea of whether a card is even worth grading. Some basic indicators to go off of would be better... scratches, centering etc. especially when grading is so expensive in the early game, and takes forever. Just simply throwing random cards at it, feels wrong. And to add a layer to this, being able to 'inspect' a customer's cards when they try sell them to you. And being able to explain to them why you're offering a lower price (they may not necessarily agree, or may take offence being blatantly lied to, but you can try your luck). - Pull chance %s should be displayed per pack (and abided by), if you do the math after opening 50 packs, the value of the cards is always more than the value of the pack (this makes no sense). - "Rare" and "Common" packs are an interesting choice of approach too. Why would anyone buy a "Common" pack for £2, when they can buy a "Rare" pack for £2.50? With TCGs, you have different series of packs, not ones simply classified as common and rare. 1st prints, and reprints could add an extra layer too, with 1st editions being heavily sought after. - The game should take an approach similar to Retro Rewind, with new pack release dates, where their demand will be higher (scalpers) etc. Negative reviews from customers because you're sold out because of the Scalper issue - imposing meaningful decisions onto you like limiting sales per customer, at the potential cost of number of sales vs reputation - or granting opportunity to price hike if there's a reported shortage of stock (become the greedy scalper yourself as the store owner). - Realistic human faces, but everything else cartoonish just makes the game feel a bit cheap tbh. People of a similar style to Schedule 1 or Retro Rewind would be far better (unless the environment was made more realistic to match). - Prices in general are just massively nonsensical, especially furniture and the licenses I mentioned above. To me, it feels like the devs couldn't establish how to create a natural progression system, so just slapped on massive price tags to gate progress that way, even though there's a level restriction in place as well. If they wanted to increase the cost to counter the increase in sales over time, make the shop more at risk of break-ins when reputation grows, forcing the need for security costs, shutters etc. Anything more creative than just "Oh we'll make this pack require a £2000 license to even buy any of them, that'll slow things down for the player". - Also, let us access the stock room at the back, for our personal storage etc. I immediately assumed this would be available from day 1, and was surprised when the door was just a PNG on the wall. Retro Rewind gives you a back office from day 1. - Deliveries thrown onto the street outside? That'll keep the game feeling immersive?? Having a back office where deliveries are made, fixes this too. - It would also be nice to have 'shady' ways to play later on in development. For those who wanna play again with a different approach. I mentioned a few ideas above, but things like weighing packs etc. at the risk of people starting to suspect never getting rare pulls (especially as they chat during playing etc. and word of mouth gets around). Resealing packs maybe, obvious risk of getting clocked doing this etc. etc. And ultimately, store reputation to REALLY feel impactful. Sky is literally the limit with this game, and I hope it gets there, and I hope some of the above are factored in, because the gameplay cycle is generally fun overall. Just a lot of jank and "wtf" moments as immersion gets pushed out the window again and again.
