Game immediately opens a feedback form with typos when the game is closed.

Edit: This was resolved quickly. Props to the devs.
Game is extremely fast paced early - would like a way to open packs without having to put them on shelves first.

Holy motion sickness!

I'm unsure exactly what it is about this game, but the FOV is so narrow and movement is so choppy that I only managed to play an hour before I felt like I was about to physically vomit. I've never been motion sick from a game before so that was a first!

The game itself is nothing to write home about, it's your average AI simulator slop, it feels practically thrown together despite being in development for quite some time, and this so-called full release very much feels unfinished and more like an early access. Mechanics feel sloppy - playing with two people we still couldn't keep stock on the shelves and had many unhappy customers, there was constantly trash all over the floor, and if we put the price even a penny over the market price customers would complain and walk out.

Upon closing the game I was met with an unwanted pop up of a website asking for feedback which contained multiple typos - in my opinion this should be an option, not a forced encounter.

As for the DLC, I personally haven't purchased it, but I've heard numerous reports that the naughty content is only available after a high level which is not mentioned on the store page.

So, I didn´t play the demo and I just noticed this game was about to release and I was super excited. I love TCG Card shop simulator and wanted more of the same just with Anime. But to my disappointment it´s just a lesser version of TCG. I want to compare some differences to TCG and explain, why this Anime game feels like a cheap copy.

Positives: The cards and the artwork look great. Cute pictures, interesting items to sell and so forth. Unlike TCG you get a great overview over your stock and you can sort the items you want to buy in different categories. And the biggest difference to TCG is that you are able to actualy play the trading card game and not just sell it. But yeah, after thinking for awhile that´s about it with the positives.


Negatives:
Anime Shop Simulator feels a bit chunky. Nothing too bad but mooving around doesn´t feel so smooth.

The items are sold out super super quickly, like immediately. You stock the shelves and after all the customers (it´s way too many customers) payed the shelves are empty. I mean, on the one hand it´s great to sell everything and to have a lot of money immediately but it doesn´t feel satisfying. Every in game hour you have to order the same products again and again because they are allways sold out. That´s pretty annoying.

There is also barely any sounds for things you do. You open a card pack: Nothing. You get a rare card: Nothing. Just pure silence. No satisfaction opening card packs. And you have to click on every single card pack. In TCG you can hold the button and get all the packs, here you have to click for every single card.

Sorting the album stinks. In TCG you have all the versions of one card on one page in the album. Here the same card can be on different pages. Why? It´s also not clear what versions of cards exist and how to differenciate them. Kinda strange. yeah, the album doesn´t look good.

Not to mention so many bugs. When you pick up a card the number and other details on it dissapear. You only see the picture, not really the card how it looks in the album. There are also 4 different card types in the trading card game, like pokemon types: water beats fire, fire beats grass and so forth. But while playing the trading card game YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TYPE EACH CARD BELONGS TO. There is no details showing up hovering over the cards or anything.

IN TCG, once items are sold out the image of it stays on the shelve, so you know where to place it the next time. In Anime Shop Simulator the image on the shelve dissapears once it´s sold out, which happens all the time.

In Anime Shop Simulator, there is an option to set the price of items to market price. This is the only good option. You don´t have to think about pricing the items. If you make it one penny more expensive, no one buys it, if you make it a penny cheaper you loose a penny everytime you sell it. Why does this option exist?

In TCG there is a day night cycle. It gets dark at night and then you have to open the light. In Anime Shop Simulator there is barely any differences, no matter if it´s 9 am or pm.

You can not crouch in Anime Shop Simulator. You can jump, but why do you even want to?


The negative list could go on, but there is no need to. Anime Shop Simulator feels like it was made without love. In TCG you can even change details like the currency, here you can´t. The customers feel kinda lifeless. The whole game feels lifeless. Actually, playing Anime Shop Simulator made me want to play a better game: TCG Trading Card Simulator. Everyone who played TCG will not enjoy this mess here.
