Dealer's Life 2

Great potential wasted by seemingly random events, the dumb AI allowed me to constantly scam them with no backlash.

  • gameplay
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally praised for being fun, easy to navigate, and engaging with unique characters, pop culture references, and a relaxing yet strategic loop. However, some find it repetitive and shallow over time, with limited mechanics and depth that taper off after mid-level progression. Overall, it appeals as a casual, enjoyable experience without ads or hidden fees, though it may lack lasting complexity for some players.

    • “The depth of gameplay, from haggling with customers to managing inventory, is incredibly realistic and engaging.”
    • “I am having a lot of fun, the game mechanics are very deep, no ads, gives nice gambling vibes and there are a lot of references from anywhere, some of them I believe are from Italian pop culture, I even recognized one joke from the famous actor Corrado Guzzanti, this game is a pearl.”
    • “A great casual game, you can pick up right where you left off, smooth gameplay, easy enough but still requires some strategy.”
    • “Not a real game, just one mechanic of reselling items and nothing else.”
    • “Same mechanics as the last one with a little better graphics and a few new features but it feels too busy.”
    • “But what kills me is the same exact recycled mechanics.”
  • graphics
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature a new, stylized art style that has divided opinions, with some praising it as a significant improvement and others finding it off-putting or inconsistent. While some users appreciate the charm and quality compared to the previous title, others feel the graphics lack depth or are inappropriate in spots. Overall, the graphics are generally seen as decent or good but remain a contentious aspect among players.

    • “The art style is so much better than the 1st.”
    • “I don't understand what people hate about the art style, it's very stylized and a huge improvement from the previous title!”
    • “The graphics are charming, and the progression system keeps you hooked for hours.”
    • “The artwork in this game is so out of place, and even inappropriate in spots.”
    • “The art style is awful and there were no improvements from the previous game.”
    • “Wish I could get my money back; this game is not worth it honestly. The graphics are low quality, and the bugs and the way everything acts is out of whack.”
  • monetization
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a completely ad-free experience with no in-app purchases or hidden fees, allowing players to enjoy deep gameplay and unique item variety without interruptions. This rare approach to monetization is widely appreciated, enhancing the fun and immersion.

    • “The best part is there's no ads and no hidden fees, there isn't anything promoting using your real money, which is so nice. Gameplay is fun and easy to navigate, character designs are unique and creative, and there are so many pop culture references hidden in the items (the appearance or description!) sooooo cool.”
    • “A fun game about running a pawn shop, fully offline with no in-app purchases, so many customer and item varieties, long progression (depends on difficulty). Definitely a must play!”
    • “I am having a lot of fun, the game mechanics are very deep, no ads, gives nice gambling vibes and there are a lot of references from anywhere. Some of them I believe are from Italian pop culture; I even recognized one joke from the famous actor Corrado Guzzanti. This game is a pearl.”
    • “It's very rare to find a game without ads every 5 seconds or the need to check in continually.”
    • “I love when you're given free range to enjoy a game without ads or in-app purchases.”
    • “No in-app purchases!”
  • grinding
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game is notable, especially in the late stages where it becomes repetitive, tedious, and unbalanced, requiring significant effort to progress. While the early game is engaging and fun, the endgame grind can feel monotonous, though some players still find it enjoyable overall.

    • “Late game is grindy and unbalanced, with prices mostly in the 70k-3m range at final store upgrade.”
    • “Great early game with fun cycle/loop, but late game achievement hunting is pretty grindy to get enough.”
    • “The end game is very grindy, becoming tedious and boring fast.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Love it, great graphics, story is cool also.”
    • “It's an already good game, but the first one had a much better and easier to play storyline.”
    • “I feel one more suggestion could be a rival shop system, etc., also more nuanced quests rather than just reach this level of market.”
