How it feels
You manage a struggling caravan in a troubled medieval kingdom, carefully buying and selling goods while making choices in random events and protecting your convoy with turn-based combat.

What players say
Players enjoy the trading loop but say it becomes grindy and repetitive, especially on harder difficulties. Many note a bug that prevents 100% achievement completion, and reviews are split on whether the campaign runs out of direction in the late game.
