Shop Titans is the ultimate RPG shopkeeper simulation. Craft powerful equipment, stock your shop and sell to aspiring heroes… at a markup! Hire heroes and explore dungeons to gather valuable materials to craft with. There’s never a dull moment in the world of Shop Titans!
Shop Titans is a fantasy RPG-themed idle simulation game about designing, personalizing, and managing a shop that crafts and sells all the weapons and equipment fantasy heroes need.
The egregious monetization can't be overlooked in this game. Originally I was being lenient and choosing to simply ignore it but after playing the game for 10 hours it very quickly became clear this game is only interested in putting up as many obstacles as possible and selling you the solution to these problems. While it's true that a lot of these items can be earned in-game, they make it very clear that paying is the better option.
It’s just so painfully obvious that Kabam wants you to spend money right from the get go that it’s almost not even worth bothering with if you’re a free player. This isn’t the first or last time we’ll make this claim, but Shop Titans would have been so much better off as a premium experience that included actual strategy instead of time gates.
Worse yet is the monthly subscription service, which Kabam fully expects anyone who wants to play Shop Titans in earnest to purchase. Already aggressively mediocre experience by design, jumping from mobile to PC has done Kabam's shopkeeping "simulator" no favours. Shop Titans is worse than video game junk food; it's slop.
