Absolutely loved this game!
This game was engrossing and addictive from the get-go. It's goals were clearly identifable while employing entertaining worldwide travel. Not many games entice me the way the Chocolatier did. I had many marathon nights and enjoyed the story line that accompanied the goals. I thoroughly enjoyed the manufacturing aspect combined with selling the products in each port to build my empire. This game far surpassed my expectations. |

Play and play and play and never be bored!
I have very fond memories of a game I once had where I played as Marco Polo, traveling around the world, buying spices, selling, trading and running errands for Kublai Khan.
The setting is basically a huge map, static characters with typed dialogues. The goal is to be rich and in that game, I played so well, I was very rich at the end of it. It also had a cool soundtrack suitable for the era.
After playing Chocolatier for just 10 min, it brought back those fond memories. I could play this game forever. You will encounter various characters asking you to buy and sell stuff, in this game chocolates.
You will get new recipes, buy the ingredients at various ports where you can haggle the price, make the chocolates by playing a mini shoot and score game and in the end buy factories and become a mogul of chocolates.
The characters are static, this is not an RPG game where your character is seen. You will see a picture of a port, which at first can be quite confusing since you don't know which building is which, you have a small message panel that will tell you what you bought/sell, your mission and and the errands to run. You can then click the map and travel the world in search of more ingredients and recipes.
After the short but useful tutorial, you're basically on your own which can be quite daunting since there is no intro to the towns but check out the occasional messages, it can contain useful info on cheap ingredients to buy and at which port. The graphics are lovely, the chocolates look delicious, the map convincing and the music, the best of the lot is a suitable companion piece to this game. If you have played that Marco Polo game I mentioned, this is the game for you because it is almost 100% like it, except for the era. It would be nice if the Queen/King of England sends my character on an errand. Someone recognizable but thus far, the characters are fictional.
All in all, a wonderful game which you can play for a very long time without feelin |

Overwhelming
Combine mouthwatering graphics with truly innovative gameplay, and you've barely begun to describe what makes Chocolatier one of the best games I've seen on this site. I'm not a fan of real chocolate, but the beautiful illustrations actually made me want a piece.
While the sound did not grab me enough to make me turn off my own music player, the gameplay made up for it in spades. My one complaint is that the possibilities are, as this review's title states, overwhelming. I found it rather easy to forget objectives and the random factor in obtaining them was occasionally irritating. But overall, abundance of content in a game is hardly much of a flaw.
Anyone who likes mercantile games along the lines of those in the Tradewinds series will love this one. Especially if that series left them longing for a bit more complexity. |

This game captures the imagination. you have to travel around the world to get all different kinds of chocolate recepies varying from size and shape and flavors. It keeps you moving, wether it be to get the ingredients you need to keep producing the chocolate you are making, or to find some mysterious person that shall give you a task to do. All in all i rate it 10/10 and 2 thumbs up! great game that anybody would enjoy |
