About King of Retail 2

King of Retail 2 is a third-person retail tycoon — a DEEP business simulation where every decision, from floor plan to staff roster to product mix, shapes whether your stores thrive or fail.

Everything, from floor space, to shelf stock to products carried, even wall designs and employee affect your store’s appeal, sales, and profitability.Simulated down to the finest detail, you’ll experience the challenges, decisions, and successes of a business owner, whether you start from the bottom or build up a bustling business empire!

YOUR STORE, YOUR RULES

Design stores from the ground up with King of Retail 2’s in-game design tools. Customize store layout, building materials, textures, windows, and build a flow for your store to get customers in the door and through the shopping lines.Build stores as big as your ambitions. Add multiple levels to create huge shopping centres, and connect floors with elevators and escalators. There is no limit to the styles and designs you can incorporate into your store.

AN EXPANSIVE WORLD TO CONQUER

A fully realized city is yours for the taking. Your choice of location determines what types of customers are nearby, what they buy, and what their tastes are when shopping.Every building and every location within King of Retail 2 can be expanded into retail space. City layout and income levels play a factor in whether your next store will be a humble corner store, or a multi-level department store in the middle of downtown.
As your stores grow, you can expand into new neighborhoods, and diversify your business model to tackle new markets, from street fashion to high-tech gadgets. 

FULLY FUNCTIONAL TEAMS

Hire, organize, and put your employees to work. Employees are independent workers and the backbone of your business, with their own behaviours, habits, and interests. 
Poor employees are a drain on your bottom line, neglect their duties, and pull poor sales, while good employees can be promoted, mentored, and eventually given the responsibility of managing stores on your behalf.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur who likes to do the dirty work alongside the team, or a big-thinker who knows how to delegate, your employees are there to build your business and bring the world of King of Retail 2 alive.

FROM CONCEPT TO PROFIT

Customize, stylize, and upload your designs to define your brand.  King of Retail introduces powerful in-game design tools for store, shelf, and more.With Steam Workshop integration, you can upload, share, and explore new designs for your store directly from the game.

Amazing remake of the first game. Worth the buy

Stay off this game for now. I liked the first game despite being a little janky and unbalanced (you basically could've rebranded your store from, let's say, grocery to technology overnight and gotten much bigger profit while maintaining your previous clients), but the second one feels even more janky. The game looks worse than the previous one (especially the lighting), the city's look is a joke, basic mechanics like hiring employees require you to go to the office (why do you even need to own the office in the first place, especially when you own just a small bakery?). The game runs on UE5, but looks even worse than your average UE5 slop, as it seems like either lumen or screen space reflections are poorly configured, which are causing a lot of noise in the image that’s making eyes hurt. It's also blurry as hell, and there aren't any options for upscalers, so you can't even turn on DLAA. As I saw on their Discord, they're struggling financially, so updates will come at a slower pace. Well, I hate when stuff like this happens to indie devs, but maybe pricing it at 20 euros is a little too much for a game in that early state? There are so many "simulationslop" and "friendlslop" ga…

Has to be one of the most intensive and detailed simulator games I've ever played. It's huge with not only managing one store but multiple. Was definitely a lot to take in at first and def requires a bit of playing before you get used to all the different mechanics but I'm blown away by the detail and thankful for the quick restocking of shelves!
