Saleblazers Reviews

Very underrated game, reminded me of moonlighter. Definitely enjoyed it, can't wait for 1.0 release!

Fun game, the store mechanic was pretty fun and exploring was good. The combat still needs some work but will be coming back for the updates and see where its going

Great game that needs a lot of work still. The shop keeping aspect is very good, the combat is cheesy, and the story is incomplete. Also the base building can piss you off from time to time. PLEASE ADD A GRID SNAP SYSTEM TO THE BASE BUILDING!!!!!! Thank you :^]

It may seem a little jank out the gate but don't let this one fool you. Me and my wife have had a blast playing this, this developer is really punching above their weight. If you have any interest in this type of game, especially in a coop sense, you will not be disappointed. Even in early access this feels 100% good enough to play now and have fun, at the sale price this is plenty of content. It's just fun!

Great fun. 40h in. Lots to do with optimizing store, exploring new areas and survival under random events. Reminds me a lot of the Raft (looting + building + surviving + exploring) multiplayer. Visual style is friendly, but don't get me wrong - i die more than in 7 days to die :) But it's more casual. Pay a portion of money in your inventory to respawn. Pick up your gear and keep playing. You will mess up, by losing/destroying your stuff, but it is so easy to get more stuff. Just run around and loot. When your workers take care of turning inventory to cash - you can keep researching new tech. Some bugs found. Large cities tend to have some pitfalls and not everything is smooth and polished. Overall, playing is enjoyable. I wish more ppl would find this and the community would support better documentation, fine tuning for features and tips&tricks.

this game has everything i enjoy about a game. shopkeeping/management, open world, base building, humor, fishing, farming, catching humans in cages/being caught in a cage, fights between different npc factions. and the devs are super responsive to feedback!! every time i go to play a different game i just close it and open saleblazers because it has everything. and you can make money doing whatever you want, really - if you don't like one aspect of the game you don't have to spend any time doing it at all and just focus on what aspect you do enjoy it is a little buggy but its an early access game and they're always fixing stuff or adding QOL features so i have hope for the future of this game :) plus there's already so much content, i've covered maybe a quarter of the map and i'm at nearly 30 hours

Great game, by far one of, if not the best simulators I've ever played. Combat is simple enough but rewarding, the story is pretty cool and it feels way too fleshed out to be a "simulator". It feels like you are buying 2 games in one. At 33 hours i 'completed' the story that is there so far, but i have only opened 2/5 shops. If i wanted to maximise and automate income i could easily spend another 100 hours.

Overall 7.5/10 [b]TLDR:[/b] This game has a lot of potential and was obviously made with a lot of love. While I believe some systems need to be reworked in it's current state it proves to be a fun and enjoyable game with so far no bugs encountered for me yet which is surprising to me personally. [b]The Premise[/b]: In short you are a cog in a company that got thrown out, now you find yourself on an island and you start off after recovering by helping out in a shop, eventually running it yourself. This is something that I really enjoyed and what brought me to this game in the first place. [b]Pros[/b]: Good feeling of progression as you level up your shops and explore the world and it's inhabitants. It really does feel like you are running your own store. You can sell what you craft or raid the NPC's for stuff to sell. [b]Cons[/b] I focus more on the shop-keeping in this game since that is why I bought it so there will be quite a lot here since I believe there is so much more to be added to this game to make it perfect. 1.) As your shop grows it gets harder to manage your employees since you start to have so many of them. Right now there is no way to manage multiple employees at once (IE. Setting multiple employees to one schedule and the rest to another schedule) You need to manage what each employee does manually (Yes you can set all your employee schedules to the shop hours but again that is for ALL, so I can't have 2 different shifts). There are other things that you need to manage individually for example If you hire 6 different gatherers and want them to only gather certain materials you need to select each one individually and set it. There needs to be a rework of how to manage employees. 2.) You can't just select a button to close your store and lay off your employees until you come back. If you have no employees you just close your shop and that is it. But when you have higher level shops with multiple employees you either have to check back on that store constantly or set all your employee schedules (Again individually) to 1 hour a day so you don't waste too much money. 3.) This is nit picky on my part but why is crafting things with trash the only way to craft certain things. Crafting gunpowder does not need to only have the one recipe that requires a banana peel. Give us 2 recipes for the recipes that use trash, maybe with the 2nd one being more expensive but doesn't require trash. 4.) There is no single-player, yes you can make your own server and set it to only friends joining with a password, but that is not single-player in my eyes. There are a couple more things I could say but they are very minor. Overall I know that most of what I mentioned will be addressed in the future, so I will update this review as they happen.

First off, this game is in Early Access and receives regular updates, so my primary issue with it will likely get sorted out as development continues. This game is janky right now. Sometimes people fall through floors or take damage for no reason. The NPC citizens around you can take friendly fire damage that I wish we could turn off somehow. That said, it's fun as heck. It reminds me of the mobile Shop Titans, but without the insane microtransactions. You adventure around gathering supplies, craft stuff, fight Ronin and random monsters. And after all that, you go back home, stock your shelves, and open your shop. Be sure to greet everyone that comes in for the satisfaction bonus. Keep crafting and stocking. Sleep at night. Use your skill points. Craft a great sword bc it's really satisfying. Put traps around your base so the night zombies don't kill you. So even in it's Early Access state, I still recommend it. They are making smart updates - like the recent "build from storage"-update - and I look forward to additional and refined features and the ironed-out bugs. Overall, super fun.

What a fantastic ! Under the radar game !!! Nothing but overall fun for my playtime. If you enjoy exploration,that pays off for doing so! Building,looting, shop running with items to sell you find in the world or that you create/ build yourself. Ability to hire staff to run the store while your out questing/exploring. You can play the game anyway you like being the honest shop owner that provides for the near by towns with created items from your hard work with harvesting resources . Or you can head out and raise your lock pick skills and steal some loot/items for the store and home base. Or load up on your favorite weapon and farm whom ever lol. Even on easy mode you will be attacked while exploring the world by other npc from cultists to outlaws ,so better load up . Food provides heals for you and if you have a friend playing also them. Cool part of game is you can throw food at a target/friend and heal them while playing.There is death with out reloading a past save, and you can try and retrieve your death box like the ones you loot while playing. Or there is a way to summon your death box thru certain NPC. To note I have not done much with spell books,for healing or damage . The game provides that option and seems very interesting enough to maybe check out on another play thru. There are more store plots you can buy and run or have staff run for you. Even building items yourself there is a roll of the dice I guess for said item to be build better. Grey/Green/Epic/Legendary. Being gear/weapons or even the storage box you build for your loot. Mild stat , food/water. Small spoiler to readers !! I have not completed the main quests and have not read much due to the like of finding out for myself. Not positive but have seen hints maybe where when you do complete main quests you may leave area with no return. Again I am not positive just check out . Happy Gaming to All !!
