Recettear is something of an indie legend, famous as a Japanese indie game localized while indie games were really just getting started. It's been on my radar (and in my library) for a few years, but I've never gotten around to playing it till today.
Part capitalism simulator, part dungeon crawler, Recettear has a simple and addicting formula that's kept me interested for a couple hours so far. Dive into a dungeon, collect items, then sell them in your store at a profit. Rinse and repeat. Mechanics are fun, if a little simple, and there's a decent amount of enemy variety already in the early game.
I'm a little concerned that the gameplay loop will wear a little thin eventually, but for now I'm excited to keep going with Recettear.
Verdict: Keep Playing
