Overview
In Table Battle Simulator, you are in charge of running a shop selling fully animated figurines to battle with and also merchandise. But the true gem is opening some of those boxes and collecting those figurines yourself. Once you have earned enough income, that is. With enough experience you’ll be able to expand the store and hire employees to do the job for you. Setting up table battles allows you to battle customers against your own collection. Cozy and casual simulator shop.
Gameplay
The basics are simple: Buy stock, sell stock, and make a good profit at the end of the day.
You start without a lot, and you have to finish the purchases of your customers yourself, but eventually you’ll have free time. First, you want to sell the packs of figurines instead of opening those. Once you order online, the delivery will arrive at the front, and then you can set the items to sell on the shelves, along with their price tags. You can set and arrange the store to your liking by moving the furniture, shelves, cashiers, and tables. The empty cardboard boxes can be sold or stored in the warehouse once it has been unlocked, should you need to store anything you don’t want to open yourself.
Without an employee to man the register, you’ll have to attend to the customers yourself by helping pack their items in a shopping bag and processing the purchase. Cash payments must be processed by changing the amount set if they give you more money for change. You can’t finish a payment in cash if the amount does not match. Card payments, however, are easier to process; all you have to do is type the total in the register (using a keypad helps and it’s satisfying). Once you reach enough levels, you can hire employees that will automatically process all purchases themselves, leaving you to do other things.
If you wish to engage in the table battle minigame, you may do so by opening packs. You get three champions per pack, and you can buy 20 or 40 of those in any purchase. At least 10 champions are needed in your deck to play, and table battle furniture you can easily buy (which will also turn into profit as customers play in your tables per hour) This minigame plays as follows: both opponents will earn gold per round, which allows them to place champions in the rotation, but they are limited based on their level, which can also be upgraded with gold. Once the champions are in position, the round begins, and they battle each other until a side wins, with the loser losing hero points that depend on the player’s level.
Perks can also be obtained and used in battle once bought from the online store and opened up. Placing your champions accordingly and using upgraded ones will improve your chances. Defeating an opponent will earn you rating points; you can check the rank of other customers and yourself in the app ranking board. Time will slow down as you play with others, but a lot of time will pass in the day, and it is limited. The shop is open from 9 AM to 9 PM. Once you flip the sign to open, the timer starts and won't stop till it’s closing hour. A resume will display how much you earned or lost within the day.
It's important to check the market prices for any item as they might lower or rise. A price tag must be updated for each product; otherwise, if customers know the price is too high, they might skip buying it. An outdated price tag will net you losses as they will sell low. Once you have earned enough capital and experience, you can expand your shop, hire more employees, unlock other licenses, and more. The main objective: Collect them all!
Bugs Found
The pillars on both sides of the store do not have collisions. So as the shelves.
A rare occasion happened when trying to reveal a champion; my clicks were unresponsive.
Audio & Graphics
There is one problem with the outskirts of the store, as it has a lot of effects that lower my framerates whenever I look that way. There is not but one soundtrack to keep company; at least the sound effects of the register are delightful to hear. The HUD and controls were okay, but when trying to move my champions on the minigame board, it was rather imprecise to do so for some reason.
Pros & Cons
Pros-
Casual shop and pet battle simulator.
Easy progression.
Combat is rewarding, if a bit difficult.
Cons-
Could use some optimization.
Lack of content/variety in mostly everything (here’s hoping it gets more!)
Rating: 7/10
Sorry, there are no fluffy monsters to ‘catch them all’ here.
