TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer

Kept waiting for the fun to start and it never did. Biggest beef, not being able to customize the merchant at all. No name change, no gender swap, no different outfits. Didn't enjoy playing as the little grinning ginger demon. Jokes aside, I enjoyed a lot of the mechanics and the concept is solid, it was just too difficult and grindy to be fun. Dev talks about it being as hard as you make it, but the challenge level is skewed so high, that you are stuck taking tiny bits of goods to far off places for very little money for way too long. The boss battles are also insane hard and not fun at all. Also, no healer mercenaries feels bad. It's cheap, so buy for yourself and have fun pulling your hair out. Maybe you enjoy, but for me, not much fun.

I got a lot of mixed feelings about this game. I got 53 hours in the game and really only explored 2.5 of the 4 zones and maxed out reputation for 2 zones. So take this review with a grain of salt. The reputation grind is a fast way to lose a lot of time. Especially if you don't recognize that you're likely better off running at 3x speed. Otherwise, you're spending ages waiting for combat to finish once you use one of your 4 abilities. Admittedly, the developer does say they only intended people to play for like 30 hours so 53 hours might have been pushing it for interest, but at that point, I was just going through motions to complete long and tedious quests. By then I was already pretty bored. Overall? It wasn't bad. I mean, I did play for 53 hours. If a 2nd game came out, I'd probably play that one.

Получил огромное удовольствие от игры - юмор и отсылки просто божественны, чего стоит "суп" из достижения, Нейробард, брат Забрата, Овцеёвск и так далее))) Прорыв случился когда друг подсказал, что стоит ходить до пределов локаций и влево и вправо (о нахождении серебра для чаши) В итоге собрал ультимативный отряд из легендарных наемников и прошел всю игру, они были более эффективны на всех этапах, даже не смотря на появление новых на кладбищах и в пустыне. Немного задушился на некоторых ачивках и заданиях, конкретнее - скорпионы и освобождение отрядов стражников(пришлось около 20 раз прокатиться по дорогам, чтобы получить последнее событие). Поддушивает гринд значков для более комфортного прохождения боссов, но в целом, игра просто шедевральна)) Если руки дойдут, сделаю пару руководств для того, чтобы новые игроки не испытывали фрустрации, надеюсь разрабы меня за это не проклянет) Надеюсь закрытые слоты в алтаре намекают на будущее DLC) Еще раз ОГРОМНОЕ СПАСИБО за ваш труд, господа разрабы)

Game is as hard as you want it to be. :)

i like the art and concept, also price so good

There's just to many cases of "there was a better way to do this and make it more fun" going on with this game. Reading through the discussions it seems the end-game still isn't properly tuned meaning you could spend 50+ hours only to have to go back and acquire the "right" set of mercenaries, train them up and so on....yeah that's not worth it even at $5 For a game about trading I've spent too much time in the auto-battler and I've had too many XCOM moments with 99% chance to guard my cart while we camp only to wake up with my 5 most expensive items missing. I'd give this game another shot if it cleaned a lot of things up and streamlined the gameplay more but as is this one's going back on the shelf.
