A management simulation about running a weed shop
Weed Shop 3 is a management simulation game where the player takes on the role of the owner of a marijuana dispensary. The game features business management mechanics, coupled with story elements and even some first-person shooter elements. The aim of the game is to expand the business and succeed as a marijuana dispensary.
Though the game features a suitably irreverent storyline for the theme, the core mechanic of business management can be likened to something like Burger Shop. It should go without saying that the game depicts drug use and will not be suitable for all.
Succeed in the world of recreational marijuana
The premise of Weed Shop 3 sees the player take over an out-of-business marital aid store and attempt to turn it into a profitable cannabis empire. They will be able to grow their own strains of weed, hire local stoners, and work with influencers for promotion along the way.
Several gameplay styles
The core gameplay mechanic of Weed Shop 3 is, of course, a business management sim. Still, the game includes other aspects that are a little less common for this type of game. One of those is first-person shooter (FPS) mechanics, typically as part of a drug-fuelled hallucination in certain parts of the game.
Fun for the right audience
Weed Shop 3 has been received very positively by players, though some have noted that the basic core mechanics can feel slow and grindy. So without the appeal of the game’s theme, it can get laborious. However, if the theme of the game does appeal, there is plenty of content in terms of story and gameplay.
