In a mix of Tycoon and Tower Defense game play, design and build dozens of unique furniture displays, all with their own ways of trapping and draining the accounts of customers.
Manage the demands and whims of unique customer types, allocating your employees wisely and navigating the many hazards of building a flat pack labyrinth. Somewhere in the chaos, as couples fight, children scream, and your employees stage a mutiny, you may consider admitting defeat. Don't give up! Sometimes success just comes with some Assembly Required.
Features:
- Build a devious maze out of dozens of unique unlock-able furniture displays, each with their own silly and playfully sadistic animations.
- Keep your customers and employees happy, or watch your labyrinth descend into chaos.
- Deal with the unique challenges of multiple customer types who seek to destroy and escape your maze.
- Design your store carefully to attract customers who present unique and varied challenges.
- Hire unique employees to manage Design, Build, QA, Stock, Sales, and Customer Service in your store.
- Upgrade your store to accommodate increasingly incomprehensible mazes, and grow your furniture empire.

I wanted to like this game; I love tower defense! But this game is frustrating. The maze concept is awesome but buggy. The camera views cause a lot of frustration, and the fact I can't do anything while the round is in motion feels counter-intuitive. This idea but better execution would be fun. Right now it's just disappointing and frustrating.
Wonderful idea, horrible execution.
I really want to like this game, as the basic premise is fresh, funny, clever and non-violent. But there are just too many hygiene factors missing for this game pass the threshold where it is worthwhile playing. The interface is extremely clumsy, and resembles something designed for Windows 3.11. The camera is restricted to a few views and frequently gets blocked by objects. The game mechanics are hard to understand, and while a wordy tutorial tries to explain the game you are still left with so many questions. Some of the game mechanics makes no sense (a customer that makes it through your store with money to spare will complain to management...?) The graphics are barely functional and does not provide the feedback you expect. There are obvious bugs, bad UX design and situations when it could be either. And the list goes on...
I would love to play a well designed game based on the idea of an IKEA labyrinth. But this not that game. This is a broken mess.
This game could have been great, it has a fresh and quirky take on the management and tower defence genres and its humour and irreverence were a big draw for me. However the practical experience of playing the game is extremely disappointing: it frequently bugs out by refusing to automatically end the day, meaning that you have to manually do so, which affords you a potentially game ruining penalty; and I found the difficulty curve extremely frustrating and unrewarding. I wish I could recommend this game but honestly save your money.
OH MYYY!! WHAT A GEM this game is its like tower defence but you put furniture down and have to try pitch each furniture to people of same colour really addictive game
Cool game. If you're a big fan of Tower Defense games and are looking for something new that's based on the same formula, this is it.
It wasn't quite my style, but I can see the merits of the game and hope the developers continue to create interesting things.
Well done devs!
Assembly required is a different take on an old concept, well, so I've been told, I'm too young to have played these old concepts, however, that has not hindered my enjoyment one bit. Assembly Required is an eternally challenging game which manages to poke fun at itself in the right way.
Creating furniture mazes and attempting to exhaust customers of their money has led to me wasting lots of time, it provides a unique challenge that i have never yet seen from other games.
So should you buy it, heck yeah, it's different and its all the better for it!
Everyone is right when they call this game Ikea Simulator. Assembly Required is a suprisingly-deep take on the tower defense genre, set in your own nightmare maze of varnished-pine and laminate. The goal is simple enough: milk every last dime out of the fools who dare set foot in your temple to self-built furniture, lest they register a complaint with management.
The basic mechanics will be familiar to anyone interested in the genre. Customers take the place of creeps; displays take the place of towers. You layout your store using different furniture-themed puzzle pieces, each with their own dimensions and catchement areas. Customers come in four flavors (bachlor, couple, family, and grandmother), and three wealth levels. Given time and money, you can unlock new pieces and upgraded versions of old pieces, locked in an arms race with the increasingly-wealthy (and demanding) customers who saunter through your sliding glass doors.
In addition to the maze-making, you'll also manage your employees. Some are straightforward, adding durability to displays or increasing the amount of damage (called patience, in game) you heal between rounds. The interesting twist comes from managing your stock and sales-minions. This becomes important as the difficulty mounts: successfully deploying a sales-minion to the correct display (a futon for a bachelor, e.g.) can empty a wealthy patron's pockets when they might otherwise escape your maze. Given your limited supply of both warehouse stock and sales-homonculi, each wave takes on a tactical twinge as you search for children with mohawks or grandmas with fanny packs. These visual cues tell you who the moneybags are, and thus where you'll need to send your sales-cretins. Later on, special shoppers enter the fray, forcing you to reposition your pill-shaped personnel on the fly or suffer the consequences.
Of course, minions demand wages and inventory must be purcahsed, which means you'll be doing a bit of financial management between rounds. Do you hire another stock-urchin so you can pitch more sweet deals when it matters, or do you splurge on the upgraded version of that heart-shaped couples bed? Or maybe those pennies would be better pinched in service of a few more displays, lengthing the maze? The layers of decisions making are satisfying, indeed.
That said, there are a number of bugs and other technical issues, and the game does a poor job of tutorializing itself. To the developer's credit, they have acknowledged these shortcomings and appear to be working in earnest to iron out the kinks and deliver a properly-polished product. While irksome, it hasn't prevented me from enjoying the game as a whole.
