Shoppe Keep, part 1

Life has been so hectic that I have spend more time with small games what are easy to play and do not demand a lot of hours. One of these games has been Shoppe Keep what early access indie game. There you're merchant who keeps shop for adventurers. You sell health and mana potions and of course arrow, shields, hats, etc. Everything what you can need when adventuring.

When you order stuff, they will be delivered into chest

You begin game by buying few things to sell and adding some tables to your shop so that visitors can see what you're selling. Sounds easy and it is so. Just think right price to products that they will be bought and you still get some money to buy more. First days go slowly when money comes slowly form cheap products but patience is what you need. Each day lasts 3 times 5 minutes.. so there is morning, daytime and evening. It isn't difficult to guess which is the busiest time in the shop.

Slowly shop gets bigger

you can buy sellings from the list

After every day you can fix your store. Buy more shelves and racks for supplies and clean the place. It is also good thing to repair existing tables so they won't break all of sudden. Keeping shop is simple, you just have to remember to pay taxes also and watch out the thief. There is also backrooms where is magical cauldron and huge machine where you can drop sellings. These are still something what I am testing so I will teel more about them in the other posting from this game.

So far this game has been nice one. It is simple enough but still there  is progress what to do better in the store. So perfect game to play after a long day at work when you're too tired to play rolegames.

Wasteland 2, first impression

It seems my October was overbooked since I hadn't much time to play nor write about the games. I also didn't know what to plat after Child of Light since that game was so cute and I hadn't have anything similar.. I tried few games like playing some Guildwars 2, Dishonored and eventually Wasteland 2. All the game were different to each other but that last one hit the jackpot this time. I got the game as a gift from my brother and decided to give it a try.

The beginning was so cool. I realise that I am desert ranger in Arizona. If it would had been in Texas probably I would had been less enthusiastic. But Arizona! I have been there myself and seen the desert so it was easy to imagine the atmosphere of the game when travelled there. So cool.

Loading screen looked nice.


The game looks nice.


You can use premade characters or make your own heroes. You're part of the team Echo and when travelling in the desert all kind skills. I decided to make my own jack of all trades girl Sonja who wasn't good on many things except on fighting. She knows how to find things, search the areas and talk to animals. But when the battle comes she needs her friends who will take care of the enemies and also keeps group all healed up.

For new player game is advicing things if they want that.

There are several small areas and then worldmap what combines everything.

World map seems rather empty at first.

Arizona is rough place to live after nuclear holocaust. Some of the areas are dangerous to walk because of teh radiation, there are attacking groups and if you run out with water, you will be dead in the desert. Such a lovely place. My first mission was to solve mystery of the Ace, one of the rangers. He had found as dead one and our group were supposed to finish his work. Now we were like wannabe ass-kickers but solving mystery of the Ace would grant us to be a real rangers. How cool.

You can move whole team together or one by one.


Dry and devastated lands won't give much hope.

You can watch your travelling on the map.


First hours with Wasteland 2 has been rather entertaining ones. At first I was a bit suspicious if I would like this game but I have realised that plot is good one. You have to do choices and those have always consequences. I also like the fighting system where I have time to think strategy because it is based on turns. So for now.. I have positive feeling about this game and will post more when I have played it further.
