I was gonna post about this but I was too busy over the weekend catching up on work.

I was busy because I put work off in order to play.... Recettear. This game is unbelievably addictive. It's awesome, but it's basically Diablo meets Animal Crossing with healthy dollops of Zelda esque combat and the Atelier series. It's pretty evil honestly, also the games method of breaking stuff up into time periods results in Civilisation-esque "one more turn" syndrome. "Must sell these Chobham Armours at a mark up while little girls are on an armour buying spree, oh I'll just play another day so I won't forget that order of treasure due tomorrow, wow I managed to finally sell that awesome knife to Charme, should go on a dungeon dive to test it out..."

So yeah it's fantastic but be warned it's going eat time like someone crossed Civilisation and Diablo.

Also LATE GAME SPOILERS Recette calling Griff out on being a RPG stereotype was so goddamn hilarious I actually hurt myself laughing "You seriously want to usher in a new age of darkness and become a dark lord, in this day and age? I feel embarassed just listening to you....". On a more serious note the music near the end of that level was awesome, it sounded vaguely like a homage to The Pinnacle music from the Castelvania games.. That's another thing this game has got an excellent localisation, lots of personality, lots of humour and all the details come through. Read the item descriptions, some of them are gold.
