Antique Shop Game Review

Operating a busy Antique Shop isn't just about serving customers, you must travel extensively to find interesting pieces at the right prices so as to turn a profit, which makes the antique business almost a game in itself. Hence the developers of this latest time management game have pounced on the idea and turned one of the oldest retail businesses into a fabulous simulation game, with many ideas straight from real life experiences.

In Antique Shop, you must serve customers as they enter your stores, which will give you the incentive, and monetary power, to travel the world, opening additional stores in exotic locations. While you travel the world you get to solve historical puzzles, unravel perplexing problems, uncover fabulous artifacts and find unique are rare discoveries that will excite your customers into a buying frenzy. Your goal is to make enough money to finance an exciting archaeological expedition to ancient Greece in search of rare antiquities.

Antique Shop brings a good mix of the usual dash style game frenzy, where you must give the customer what he or she orders in the most efficient time. With this in mind, you do have an assistant to do all the heavy lifting, with upgrades available to become super efficient. You take the order at the front desk and the assistant moves into the storeroom to find, and give, the correct item to the customer. The mix of puzzles and problem solving exercises are sometimes quite difficult, yet add a certain charm to the overall game that makes it challenging, but not absolutely unbeatable.

Nice graphics and non intrusive music round out a good game, which should give many hours of hectic store work, with welcome breaks solving quite a few different puzzles. Not the worst game to come our way, so give the free download a play and see if you have an eye for antiquarian rarities.
