  • gameplay
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the retail company simulator is characterized by a straightforward and user-friendly interface, focusing on a repetitive loop of buying, displaying, and selling clothing. While the core mechanics are simple and enjoyable, some players find the experience somewhat sparse and lacking in customization options, leading to a grindy feel over time. Overall, the gameplay is solid for its price point, though it has room for improvement compared to its competitors.

    • “Gameplay is not obnoxious; it doesn't make you stop.”
    • “So insofar as the core game mechanic goes, it's pretty simple: buy clothes from a distributor, set up displays, stock the displays.”
    • “Gameplay revolves around a loop of buying clothes and footwear, selling them at the recommended price or whatever you want, managing your stock and keeping an eye out for changing prices; customers will moan and leave if you don't have what they want sometimes.”
    • “I liked the management of the licenses with logos that recall famous brands; however, I find the gameplay sparse and very repetitive. The possibility of customizing the shop is missing (with accessories/mannequins/mirrors/lights/floor colors/wall paintings, etc.). Today, it is still immature and far below its main competitor in terms of functionality.”
    • “The gameplay is fine, but I've noticed there are some graphics glitches primarily when taking a card payment.”
    • “It is surprisingly fun to run a retail shop from what I've seen so far, although it's fairly the same gameplay loop every time.”
  • graphics
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many players noting good detail and a lively atmosphere, including animated customers and environmental elements. While some users mention minor glitches and a tendency for character models to appear repetitive, the overall visual experience is considered solid for a simulation game. However, some players feel that the graphics could be improved, though they acknowledge that the game's primary focus is on gameplay rather than visual fidelity.

    • “The graphics and the game atmosphere are extremely impressive; I really felt like I was managing a big department store.”
    • “The game's visuals are very good, one of the best I have seen for a simulation game. I love the fact that the expansions are different and harder to get, which means you're forced to play for long periods of time.”
    • “Let’s start with the look of the game: the graphics are good and everything ran smoothly with the highest settings possible. The people do have a tendency of looking a bit samey, and you can tell they have been copied and pasted a few times with different outfits. I don't mind this, and it's understandable why the developers would limit this due to memory and performance reasons.”
    • “The gameplay is fine, but I've noticed there are some graphics glitches primarily when taking a card payment.”
    • “While graphics, sound, and art style may not be RCS's forte, luckily the gameplay is.”
    • “Graphics could always be better, but the main focus of the game is not to look good, so I understand the developers are content with the way it looks.”
  • grinding
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be significant, with many noting that it can feel repetitive and time-consuming, particularly in managing the clothing store. However, recent updates have alleviated some of the tedium, making the experience less strenuous, though the core gameplay still revolves heavily around grinding. Overall, it's recommended for those who enjoy simulator games, but potential buyers should be aware of the grind-heavy nature before diving in.

    • “But before you buy, you must know this game might be a repetitive and grindy game, so make sure that you are okay with that kind of game because we almost spend a lot of time only in the store; there are no other activities other than managing our own clothing store.”
    • “It is recommended to launch a small cart or to carry multiple cartons at a time, because more and more goods are ordered at a time after the game, and it is very tedious to move dozens of goods into the warehouse one by one.”
    • “Retail company simulator is grindy for sure, but which simulator game isn't!”
  • optimization
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the optimization of the Retail Company Simulator is well-received, with most players noting smooth performance and good graphics, even at high settings. Some minor issues, such as occasional lag and repetitive character models, are acknowledged but do not significantly detract from the experience. Players generally find the game runs well, making it a solid entry in the simulation genre.

    • “Retail company simulator is a solid entry in the simulation genre, the game delivers exactly what it promises: a well-rounded and immersive retail management experience that runs smoothly.”
    • “It is a good simulator game, surprisingly this game has good optimization; it runs well.”
    • “Let’s start with the look of the game, graphics are good and everything ran smoothly with the highest settings possible. The people do have a tendency of looking 'a bit samey' and you can tell they have been copied and pasted a few times with different outfits. I don't mind this, and it's understandable why the dev would limit this due to memory and performance reasons.”
    • “The graphics are good and everything ran smoothly with the highest settings possible, but the characters tend to look a bit samey, suggesting they have been copied and pasted a few times with different outfits. While I understand the developer's limitations due to memory and performance reasons, it does detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The optimization is lacking as the game struggles to maintain consistent performance, especially in crowded areas where frame rates drop significantly.”
    • “Despite the impressive graphics, the game suffers from poor optimization, leading to long loading times and occasional crashes that disrupt gameplay.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as relaxing and enjoyable, but it suffers from repetitiveness, which detracts from the overall experience. While the sound effects are basic and could benefit from more variety, the background music adds a calming atmosphere to the gameplay. Overall, players appreciate the music but feel it lacks depth and diversity.

    • “Enjoyable music”
    • “Quite relaxing music playing in the game, although it is quite repetitive!”
    • “Sound and music is okay with a bit of background and very basic sound effects for the till.”
    • “Also, the music is repetitive!”
    • “Completely lifeless, and the music isn't much better.”
    • “Sound and music is okay with a bit of background, but very basic sound effects for the till like scanning and cash register. A bit of chat from the customers would have been nice; the ability to say hi or thank the customer would have been good.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game particularly enjoyable, highlighting the clever brand name swaps and the amusing NPCs as standout features that contribute to the overall comedic experience.

    • “The brand name swaps are hilarious, to be honest. The NPCs in-game are also quite funny—you'll see!”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game allows players to invest in advertising, such as billboards and TV spots, to enhance visibility and reach. This feature emphasizes the strategic use of financial resources to promote in-game content effectively.
