Caravan

I've played through the game. The first couple of hours of gameplay were actually quite nice. The aesthetics are pretty good. That's where the two stars come from. But after that point, the game was an endless dissapointment. - Grinding: As soon as you get a fairly big caravan so you can stock enough merchandise, any strategic/planning element goes away. You just go around, waiting for city merchants to replenish their cash so they can buy your stock. - Character perks are meh: The character skills you acquire after leveling up don't add any depth to the gameplay. Your main incentive to level up is better main stats, and increased caravan size. - Battles don't make sense: The outcome of the battle is determined mostly by the level of the opponents. Also your opponents are stupid, so there's little satisfaction in beating them. You still need to play them in order to get discounts from merchants–i.e. you trade one kind of grind for a less annoying one. - Lazy artwork: Even the only strong point of the game is lazily implemented. The game could make use of a few extra NPC portraits so there is less repetition. If that's too much to ask for, the developers could have at least looked up some additional names so we don't have the same 12 names repeated over and over. Finally, the dice in the battle are shown as regular 6-side dice, while they're actually 16-side dice (4 colours x 4 values for each colour). - Missions get worse and worse: Initial missions seem a bit interesting and make some sense. But the final missions are pure grind. They're just there to get you an extra 30' of gameplay before you are greeted with a cold "The End". - 0 replay value: The story is linear. I can't think of any reason that I'd make a second playthrough. At its core, this is an average C64-era game with a modern UI. A 6yo may enjoy the ambiance and maybe find some challenge in the gameplay. Older gamers definitely have better options. Only buy this on deep discount.

I like the trading but there are not much to do other than going around trading

Music. replayability, art, overall not bad.

This game reminds me of the old Zelda game.

If you like to travel, trade, fight and accomplish some missions, play Bounty Train. Caravan has a nice idea and atmosphere, but the gameplay becomes boring relativly quick.
