This game is very well designed. There are so many different pieces that you can use to figure out what works best for your store. You can always tweak it and make it more efficient.

I think it's understable to get angry at the developer for "abandoning the game" BUT there might be a good reason for it. You see this game has very very good aspects like you can not only run a shop but an entire company empire and even invest in real estate. But this game has also limits in the technical aspects and there are many quality of life features missing that makes playing it a chore of repeating the same steps over and over because you cannot automate them easily. I guess with the technical foundation of the game that's not easy to fix. So he might as well started developing the same game from scratch but much better this time with the money he earned. If the developer just abandons the game they often would announce an entirely different game. Because those developers who are just scammers in disguise won't expect you to fall into the same trap twice. But the fact that Freaking Games is just starting to develop the same game again is giving me hope. I think they are fully aware nobody will buy KoR 2 if it is the same or worse than KoR. I think I would be 100% angry if they just abandon King of Retail community and develop a game about zoo keeping which is just an lazy asset flip. But I really have hope they realized it's not possible to update KoR into being an fully amazing game so they decided to get a better technical foundation and then create the ultimate retail empire game.

King of Retail is a trailblazer of a game in the business simulation genre. It is simple, yet complex. Detailed, yet disheveled. It is beauty, it is grace. Whoever created this game, I hope they know they did a really good job. Big Ambitions is a similar comparable that came after, but this has a less polished feel like Trader Simulators, Drug Dealer Simulators, etc... But of that latter group, this game is by far the most polished and best organized. 9.75 / 10 Excellent Game!

Look, The developer is working on another game already, This game is Pretty great in its current state, but it really could have used some updates ill admit. That being said It was a solo indie developer 100%. got to give credit where its due, that being said alot was learned in the process and it is able to be redone, but better. I dont necessarily recommend purchasing the game unless its discounted. but it is quite challenging to a point. there is alot to learn, and i personally really enjoy the gameplay. but due to the fact this it will not recieve any kind of updates i have to warn you that you get what you will. I am excited for the second already.
