  • gameplay
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally engaging and offers a fun trading simulator experience with strategic depth, particularly through its dynasty-building and trading mechanics. However, players note that it can become repetitive over time, and some mechanics require further polishing and clearer tutorials. While the casual gameplay is appealing, issues like map navigation and minor bugs detract from the overall experience.

    • “The gameplay is engaging, with a lot of depth in managing your trade strategy and maximizing profits.”
    • “The core gameplay loop revolves around trading goods between towns to earn a profit, while also establishing firms to generate passive income.”
    • “Its casual gameplay and unique features make it a great option for players looking for something both engaging and relaxing.”
    • “Look up gameplay footage and see if you fall asleep.”
    • “While the town hierarchy adds variety, the gameplay loop remains largely the same, which may feel repetitive after extended play.”
    • “[*][b]cons:[/b] repetitive gameplay, limited caravan management, minor bugs, and map navigation issues.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and largely player-driven, set against a historical Chinese backdrop that offers a unique environment. Players primarily focus on building their merchant reputation and navigating trade, with quests that often lack clarity and completion due to incomplete text and translation issues. Overall, the narrative is more about personal goals and experiences rather than a structured plot.

    • “The game’s historical Chinese setting provides a unique and refreshing backdrop, but the story is largely absent.”
    • “The story is what you make of it, giving you the freedom to create your own goals and narratives.”
    • “First you start as a small merchant with one pack animal, visiting towns and cities to buy low and sell high, plus doing small quests in between to build relationships with people and gain side income.”
    • “You need to do some quests for reputation, but most of them are impossible to complete.”
    • “The quest text cuts off on almost every quest.”
    • “There is no major plot except building your reputation as a merchant and raising a big family to serve the family business.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music is generally described as charming and relaxing, contributing positively to the gameplay experience.

  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charm and attention to detail, with many users finding them pleasing and well-developed compared to earlier versions.

Players appreciate the balance between simplicity and visual appeal, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of management and incremental games.

    • “Overall it's an entertaining buy & sell traveling simulator with a simple progression, quite addictive. The graphics are well developed and it's 10 times better than the alpha. Give it a try if you like economy sims and incremental games.”
    • “A charming aesthetic, cute music, and a lot of simple but brilliant designs.”
    • “The graphics were a bit roughly designed and reused.”

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and repetitive, particularly for achievement hunters, leading to a tedious experience in the late game. While some enjoy the concept of building an empire from scratch, many feel that the grinding detracts from overall enjoyment, suggesting a lower price point to reflect this.

    • “Since there is little to do in the game, they have decided to add grinding.”
    • “I got the game for free in early access, but if I had to buy it, I'd say a fair price is around $5-6, mostly because of how grindy and repetitive it gets after a short while.”
    • “The late, late game is tedious and laggy.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is unique, as it relies on in-game strategies like advertising, price wars, and misinformation rather than traditional microtransactions or other monetization methods, which some players find surprising.

    • “No microtransactions or any monetization whatsoever (how is that possible?).”
