# Saloon Simulator: what players say

As of 11 November 2026, 88% of 924 player reviews of Saloon Simulator recommend it.

> Glivi Games’ Wild West bar sim left early access on 6 November. Players enjoy its voiced story and the bar work, and bugs that block quests or wipe saves are the main reason others advise waiting.

Developer: Glivi Games. Publisher: RockGame. Released 6 November.

## In short

The story and its fully voiced characters are what players remember, and mixing drinks and serving stays fun for dozens of hours. Decorating the saloon has real depth. Against that, bugs can stop a quest or wipe a save, the story gates the sandbox, staff are slow and few, and there is little left to do after the 8 to 20 hours the story takes.

## What players say

Players praise the story, the voice cast and the drink-mixing loop. Progress-blocking bugs, thin content after the story and weak staff are the main complaints.

- **The story is the draw.** Players call the writing strong and come to care about the townsfolk, and a fully voiced cast is rare for a sim.
- **Running the bar stays fun.** Mixing drinks, cooking and cleaning are easy to learn and hold up over long sessions, and many players log dozens of hours.
- **Decorating has depth.** Furniture, banners, room upgrades and kitchen changes give plenty of ways to make the saloon your own.
- **Bugs can stop a playthrough.** Soft locks, quests that fail to update, lost money and saves that stop loading are the most common reports, and several players quit over them. Others say patches fixed what blocked them.
- **Little is left after the story.** Once the story ends, players find few new recipes, drinks or unlocks, and many ask for a proper sandbox mode. The story itself sets a slow pace and locks features until it ends.
- **Staff need work.** Players want more hires, and the ones they have are slow, make mistakes or need retraining.
