Retail Therapy

Retail Therapy is a fast-paced arena shooter with roguelite progression. You play as a heavily armed, disgruntled employee, fighting off hordes of angry customers to earn wages and last longer in Endless mode. You choose an arena and shift length from a PC in your room; levels last 3 minutes, 10 minutes or an AFD shift. Difficulty increases over time, and customers sometimes drop tip jars that speed up upgrades.

Weapons and upgrades

You spend your wages on weapons for your armory, with more powerful options costing more. The 10 weapons include shotguns, katanas and an exploding fish. You can also spend your earnings on ammo upgrades to increase your reserves.

Eight weapons have abilities you can purchase, including firing ragdoll managers in bulk, using a laser-shooting disco ball and calling on Stabby crabby for help. The other two weapons do not have abilities.

Arenas and shifts

The game has three arenas, each with a different layout and hazards. The Supermarket has long sightlines through its shelves, which you can move between or climb on top of. The Festival is an open space with a large red button, while the Restaurant has obstacles that enemies can get caught on.

You can choose from three level lengths: 3 minutes, 10 minutes or an AFD shift.
