About Retail Therapy

Welcome to Retail Therapy—Where the Customer Is Always WRONG!What is it about?Retail therapy is a Fast paced Rogue-Lite Arena Shooter where you play as the worlds more dangerously armed and disgruntled employee on the planet. Your goal is to go to work, earn your wage and spend that on trying to last longer and longer in the endless mode.How it playsIn this game you will be tasked to fend off hordes of angry customers in arena style based levels where you will choose your setting from the PC in your room, here you will also be able to choose what length of level you want to do ranging from 3 Minutes, 10 minutes or everyone's favorite shift... the all dreaded AFD!! All while earning minimum wage! Do not worry though, Customers will sometimes drop tip jars for your hard work that you can pick up so you can speed up the upgrade process! Difficulty slowly increases overtimes so sometimes you absolutely will need to bring out the big guns.Upgrades + ProgressionPurchase new weapons to add to your armory, we have shotguns, katanas.... and fish? Yep we have an exploding fish and then do it all again JUST LIKE REAL HOSPITALITY :D Each weapon however does cost more depending on what it is, if you want the firepower then you gotta work for it!Abilities!!For the real workers here you can also purchase weapon abilities with those hard earned peanuts, whether you want to fire ragdoll managers in bulk or if you want to use a disco ball that shoots lasers or even our personal favorite, get Stabby crabby to help! Only 8 of the weapons have abilities though as 2 of them REALLY do not need the extra firepower.Ammo Upgrades!!!!During the game you may find those ammo reserves can be a little bit shallow, so you have the option to use some of that sweet sweet income to buy even BIGGER POCKETS so that you can be assured you can give all of your customers the exact same treatment.Map Gimmicks!!!!!Each arena plays completely differently, the Supermarket have long linear sightlines  for you to bob and weave in and out of the shelves or even on top of them! The festival offers a wide open space for you to run around and avoid the swarm, there is also a big red button for you to push! And the Restaurant has a slew of obstacles that you can the enemies risk getting caught on!Work, Buy new weapons, Repeat!
This isn't customer service. This is Retail Therapy!Content

A surprising amount of fun with a team of passionate developers behind it. A good way to let off some steam with some hilarious jokes thrown in.

very fun defence/movement type shooter, conceptually expansive with many ideas available ill start w the good :D good- -great visual style with cel shading -wide open but tight enough to be under pressure -doggy photo :)) -fun movement mechanics and map traversability -funny animations (blood spurt/dancing) and over all funny sense of humour throughout -solid simple hub area, love the achievement banners and cool details -good humour touches add personality (♥♥♥♥ it sign, porn achievement) -good weapon designs and uniqueness -intuitive and thematically correct/fun menu screens -ben: nooo *shaking head* unfortunately a few drawbacks (as all indie games do) bad- -no death animation, abrupt ending -rudimentary damage indicator, same asset for all damage -ugly ass computer screen -fat hitboxes for player and karens -ai clumping on bottom floors -blue shooty guys spawning in walls -little power up variation, "power up spawned" doesn't show you where, only 1 type of money pickup for 30 -have to scroll through empty weapon slots to equip, weapon in 1 and 3 u have scroll through 2 and hold no weapon for a second -you HAVE TO shut down your pc to leave it, I know I don't -ingame bar an…

Honestly a massively under priced game for what it is. I really enjoyed the progression and the voice lines were great. My favorite weapon probably has to be the chav grenade. The concept for it is stupid funny and it works incredibly well in game. When I contacted the developers about a bug in the game they fixed it almost immediately. If your looking for a bit of fun I strongly recommend retail therapy.

I received the key for this game from the devs via a key drop in the community discord server, and I'm very thankful! It is a very fun and chaotic game, with good jokes and humour! If your looking for a game to let off some steam, this is a go to. Cannot wait to play more! :)

[b] Retail Therapy [/b] is the first game by a local to me, indie studio known as [b] Crabby Games [/b] and is a delight, especially knowing the passion that went into it. The game is a horde shooter where you work shifts at one of three locations and try to survive! Whilst basic it is absolutely full of British charm. From weapons like The Chav, a grenade that disperses a Chav to vape and apply poison damage to those around them, the Confetti Gun, a Confetti-Thrower that has great ammo economy, wave demolishing qualities whilst also being a really fun gimmick! These weapons come with an ability upgrade you can purchase, the Chav Ability lets you throw a lighter to explode into burning area denial helping you clear those dastardly Karens, I found this to be most useful. The Confetti Gun allows you to summon a disco ball to beam down the hordes! These two were my favourites so far, so I'll let you discover the rest. I received the game as I'm close to one of the developers and this allowed me to stream it, which I had one of the other members of Crabby Games chatting with me, changing the game AS I played, being very receptive to feedback. This game in the form of a bus gun, that …

This game was nothing like I was expecting in all of the good ways. It's fun, fast paced chaos full of jokes that you don't get to see in most modern games, it's a good breath of fresh air and I can't wait for whatever this studio makes next.
