Judgement: Not Recommended
View review on Steam
I really like the concept, but unfortunately the execution has some serious flaws.
Ultimately, the gameplay is far too repetitive and limited - for the most part just going round in circles, buying and selling the same things, fighting the same few mobs, over and over again. There's very limited strategy or meaningful freedom to be found, and really no interesting decisions whatsoever.
Compounding the frustration is the extremely poor UX design - everything is more convoluted and user-unfriendly than it should be. There are numerous unnecessary added steps to all of the processes you'll be cycling through countless times, and the number of clicks it takes to check information and get even basic tasks done almost always feels excessive. This clumsiness also extends to a lack of clarity in several of the game mechanics, and also in the descriptions for some of the quest objectives.
I tried to persevere with it because I usually enjoy trading, and if you have something on TV you can zone out and play this in the background - but to be brutally honest, it's simply too tedious and unsatisfying to be worth bothering with.
