June 2025

King of Retail is an absolute gem for anyone who’s ever been curious about what it takes to run a successful store. I’m thoroughly impressed by the level of detail this game offers, especially when it comes to product placement. It’s not just cosmetic – where you place your items genuinely affects customer behavior, and mastering that system adds a rich layer of strategic depth. What really hooked me is the attention to sales strategy. The game doesn't just throw you into the deep end – it gives you a toolkit full of analytics, trends, and customer feedback to help craft the ideal approach. Whether you're focusing on managing your staff or optimizing your store layout, every decision matters. It's more than just a management sim – it's a love letter to retail done right. For players who enjoy a detailed, hands-on approach to business, King of Retail delivers a highly rewarding experience. I loved every minute of building my brand from the ground up.

Do I recommend King of Retail?' YES, BUT ONLY ON SALE The game is very difficult to get into for sure. All the tutorials are in a separate menu you can only reach from the main menu, called "business school" You will feel very lost at first, and I would say it takes several hours of a first playthrough to even learn the mechanics of the game, how customers and articles work, how to manage employees, and what to focus on. The first in-game week or so of playing you will barely be scraping by, and it's more focused on playing as a "worker" just to make the ends meet As you keep playing the game will be more and more focused on managing your employees, hiring enough people and setting up schedules so that the store can run on full auto without you doing anything, except ordering new supplies at the end of the day. While the game is hard to learn and slow paced at times, it is a very unique and enjoyable experience. The game is however abandoned since long, as the developer has been hard at work on the sequel, and there are quite a few clunky mechanics and minor bugs taking place, as well as un-optimized UI.

It´s a very fun store game. It´s a little bit complicadet and the map coult be bigger, but still its a good game.

Likely the best real business simulation out there. Can't wait for King of Retail 2 to fix on some of the frustrations, but this is already an awesome game to play, no doubt about it.

I was bummed out at first when I learned that the dev abandoned the game to work on KoR 2. But if I look at it objectively I support the decision, furthermore it was communicated openly, which I respect. About the game, you can easily bury 100+ hours until you realize that it jumped from like 0.18 to 1.0. If you buy it on sales, you will definitely get your money's worth.
