Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale

Alas, I liked playing this game except that whenever I enter a dungeon for some reason my framerate drops to a crawl, slowing the game entirely.

Looks like you're not the only one. Other users are reporting similar slowdown on the Carpe Fulgur forums.

EDIT: I didn't spot a solution in the thread, but you might want to take a look at it. I didn't have the same problem and I'm about to head out for a while, but I at least wanted to post the thread as a lead on solving your frame rate problem.

I'd rather kill the ten crows around the garbage dump for the green item. I doubt Tek's cuteness is worth a green item maybe a white at best :p .

I don't know what you've heard, but my cuteness is epic.

My daughter's cuteness is legendary.
 
It's a pretty good game, got mine off GoG. Graphics look dated though for dungeon gameplay, yes it is random, yes there are quite a few items and monster varieties, some traps and such, but at the end of the day, it gets boring before you even finish the main storyline. Combat is just pressing 2 buttons and spamming potions once outta MP.
It's a good casual game though, and I enjoyed most of it, mainly cos of the nice art. Finished it in one sitting. Not something I wanna replay. If you have the cash to spare, totally worth a play, but as for replayability or dungeon fighting, I'd rather grind through another WoW dungeon and at least get something shiny to keep.

Wait, Recettear is on sale on GOG? Since when? I didn't see it on there when I did a search.

I guess I'm more interested in the "get loot, price loot, sell loot" aspect of the game than the actual fighting mechanics.

I don't have to learn a new dialect to play the game effectively. I don't have to spend an hour patching the game every week. I don't have to read 8-page articles to figure out how I should spend my talent points (because there are no talent points in Recettear). And, perhaps most importantly, I never have to see a Night Elf dancing on a mailbox in his skivvies.

And since I neither can nor want to spend $15 a month on an online economy simulator (that's not a jab at WoW, it's just how I play the game), so that's right out. For what I want and with how much time I have to spend playing games, Recettear does the job just fine. But YMMV.

I'll agree that the standard price for Recettear ($20) is too steep, but it was a terrific bargain at $5 during the Steam sales.
