Had a lot of fun with it on my PS4 and have had mostly good luck with it on the PC. It's not without it's share of issues but it's a decent enough game to overlook most of the issues I've had

Was great till you realize that the MP elements directly affect the SP elements in ways you don't want if you are a casual player.

As much HATE this game is getting due to the addition of MTs, I can honestly say its really not that bad. Through the time I've played I've been finding much better gear and orcs just out in the wild. Graphics are about as good as the first game though there are free downloads for better graphics, for this I'm glad for since it doesn't bog your system down with settings that you might never use. Game play is soild and haven't really came across anything to really complain about. Online Vendettas are just like it was in the First game where you don't really suffer any penalties from it. Online Conquest, I'm still messing around with, and it doesn't seem like you loose too much from that when you have a failed invasion. I haven't been invaded myself yet so I can't say if you lose your defenders but the defences you buy, with ingame currency, are permenant and swapable whenever you want. I will say that if you invade someone else and you lose a captain, that captain stays dead unless you rez them before the end of the fight, you also don't get to keep any captains you might take control of during said Online Siege.

So far the DLCs have been really lack luster and questionable business decisions. Wildlands itself is a rather amazing game, and the DLCs for it just seem very meh. It's like they made Wildlands and took everything bad out of the beta of it and then turned around and try to sell that bad back too us as DLC fodder for the Season Pass.

Back when fallout 4 was first released and this was only thirty bucks, it was a decent deal since the game had a lot of promise. Now, looking back at them raising the price and releasing a bunch of sub par DLC, this is just a cash grab and them raising the price was only them trying to milk it.

A good game, though still has a little ways to go before I would classify it as great. My only bug issues so far are very very random and sporatic CTDs, quick save is your friend, and sound randomly cutting out. Yes i know i have a loose wire in my computer that will randomly unplug the speakers but, i have to completely quit out of the game, just for the sound to work again after i fix the speakers. Getting the Iron Man armor early was nice as well, till you have to deal with a deathclaw that would just simply not die and the crafting screen doesnt always likes to go away quick enough when you are under attack.

With those issues aside, a voiced player character was a nice change for the series and doesn't seem too out of place, for someone that has been asleep for 200 something years, and the increased custmization with your weapons seem to be rather useful as well. The handy pip boy app for the mobile device is also rather well done and i only have issues with trying to view the local map on it and the fact that it DRAINS battery power like the titantic sinking. Its everything that a compainion app should be and even more. You litterly dont need to bring up your pip boy in the game at all, unless you are leveling up and picking your new perk. I just really wished you started off with a few extra perk points to help make the early game a bit more bearable.

All in all i would give this game an 7/10 without the app and 8/10 with it, but with new patches/dlc i might come back and change this later.

Things that NEED fixed,

CTD bugs- come on, the dev himself said he played how many hours and haven't beaten everything yet? I've had mutiple cases of CTD within the first hour or so of game play so how could they have not noticed them?

Might add more later if something major comes up.


EDIT: Whelp it's been a rather long time and mostly a good ride though a lot of broken promises and quick cash grabs. The base game itself isn't bad, the couple DLC, isn't too terrible, the fact that Bugthesia upped the price on the Season Pass for no reason and recently introduced this "Paid Mods" bit just shows how much they want to milk the player base. I would of been fine leaving this review to rust had it not been for them swapping out the potential for a dlc worth the added bit to the Season Pass for just yet another cash grab. Save yourself a few bucks and get this game as a GOFTY edition with all of the DLC bundled together on sale and go through other means to get your mods instead of this crap

I sold a magizine called "Booze of the World", that contains a sample of the alcohol with it, to a little girl, just to make sure i didn't have to lose the house... Would do it again XD.


Now on to the serious bit...

Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is a rather unique cutesy blend of a item shop sim and a dungeon crawler. You have to try and raise about 820,000 pix within a 36 day cycle by buying and selling itemsfrom people, or you can try your luck, and sell items you find in the dungeons.


Why choosing Recettear?

Its a cute, little game that does a very good job combing the two genres it tries to represent. The dungeon crawling even has its own little side story line that you can explore all the way into post game. The item shop portion is just the base story and you can just keep to the shop to finish the game, if you wanted.

Graphics 7/10
Nothing really big in this department. Just your 2D with some basic shadowing to make it appear slightly 3D. Still, for what it is, rather cute and simple. Its a nice break from the games that are currently main stream.

Music and voice acting 5/10
Voice acting can get REALLY repetitive and, at times, you just want to put the game on mute. Its okay to start off with, but, expecailly in the item shop, your MC really likes to hear herself talk. The music, however, isnt too bad and its a nice relaxing backround noise that keeps things flowing rather nicely.

Game play 10/10

Controls are really simple and it does a very good job at teaching everything you need to know about them, within the first day (or two). Each adventurer has a unique feel to them and the only thing that i had issues with, was that some of the later dungeons, seemed rather repetive and it got to the point of me wanting to skip the loot and GTFO. There are only 4 dungeons you will have access too, without endless mode, and its reccomended that you keep going to the last dungeon you have availible to you, inorder to get better things to sale. Bag space is a BIG issue, but a nice challenge, to deal with as you can only carry so much with you while out adventuring. This means that you have to sell any items you want your adventures to wear, in order to free up bag space. BEWARE!!!!! THEY WILL TRY AND BUY WEAKER GEAR OFF OF YOU AND REPLACE THIER BETTER GEAR WITH IT Yes I'm looking at you Charme... If they try to do that, either go for the money, or super price the item they want so they go away for a bit.

User interface/Game Mechanics 9/10
The user interface is rather simple and easy to figure out. you only have 5 buttons you need to worry about and most of the information you need, like keeping track of your orders or keeping track of the news, is easily accessible whenever you need it.

Game Mechanics, on the other hand, is deviously clever. You will get random news events that will dramtically change how you run your item shop and even dungeon crawl. The game will even keep track of what you are taking advantage of, and react to it. For an example, The start of a random day, I had a boon on weapon sales. All weapons were marked up a good amount. Eariler, I had bough a bunch of one kind of dagger, since at that time it was at a low price, and filled my shop FULL of them. After one or two time sessions, that one kind of dagger's price norrmalized, while all of the other weapons stayed at high price.Also each npc that visits your shop, there are barely any if you dont dungeon grind and unlock more adventures, has a particular budget and you can "level up" how much they have by buying and selling items from them around where they think its worth. The table below is a good and relible way to get the most out of your store while trying to level up their pockets. One last thing, if a customer wants to buy something off your shelf, they will automatically have enough to buy that item, regardless of how much their budget is. The budget is only really implimented when they ask you for an item (like a book) or orders.

Difficulty- what you expect from a game like this

With the table above, it was rather easy to almost finish the game with my first run. I had issues on the second to last week, but just bought a carp load of candy, and spent everything else i had on items for the second run. Game over isn't a big deal, since you reset to day 2 with almost everything you had when you failed a payment. I have heard some of the later dungeons can be rather tricky, but as long as you try and keep your adventurers gear reasonable and you do some runs with them, it shouldnt be too bad. I mostly stuck with Charme due to her speed and the fact that she crits like someone trying to roll a 4 on a d4.

Price

I got this game rather cheap off of the steam summer sale, but i wouldnt pay the full price for it. If you can find it under the $10 or even the $5 I would go ahead and get it. Its a decent game, but a little pricey to just pick up if you are bored and wanting something different to play. (why i originally picked it up xD )


Conclusion

All in all, its not a bad game, just a small and cute game that can easily become a guilty pleasure to the point that you are asking yourself, "why am I playing this game and why can't I stop?"

I would rate this game a 78 out of 100 or 3.9 out of 5.0.

A good classic that has aged rather gracefully for me.
