Caravan comes from the development studio It Matters Games. The studio Daedalic has taken over the game and is sending you to the Arabian Peninsula.
In Caravan handelst du, wehrst dich gegen Robber und verfolgst die Geschichte, die im Sand verborgen ist. Den Beginn macht eine kleine Karawane, die aus Maultieren und Pferden besteht. Sie transportiert Gewürze und feinstes Tuch. Der Weg führt nach Sana’a, der Hauptstadt vom heutigen Jemen. Erzähl mir einen guten Preis, ist es möglich weitere Leute einzustellen.
The story takes place in everyday life before the Middle Ages. Inspiration was provided by the 1001 nights. The caravan starts in Iram, a desert city. You are the heir to the throne of a lost metropolis. Father and mother did not survive.
You start out as a simple caravan driver. Supply and demand determine the trade. You can see what the dealers want on the map. There are 6 categories of market goods. This includes raw materials and luxury goods. Prices range from very cheap to extremely expensive. However, one of the most important resources in the desert is water. It is also the goal to achieve the goal in a healthy way. Water in the inventory, takes up space. Mules, for example, need more water, but they enable more goods to be transported. Later there are also horses and camels available.
If you don't pay attention to the route, your food will spoil along the way. On the way you have the opportunity to buy more goods from vendors or, for example, to help travelers in need and to search ancient ruins battlefields. But be careful, bandits are also up to mischief in the desert.
In Caravan, haggling and tournaments with enemies take place in the form of cubes. The protagonist has 3 attribute values that are compared to the opponent. The difference is the damage.
Extra merits come from finding missing people, doing unhealthy murders right, or transporting expensive family heirlooms from one place to another. This increases your reputation and you collect gold and experience points. Not only will your skills improve so you'll get better prices and become a more skilled fighter, you'll also have the opportunity to recruit specialists for your caravan. These specialists can reach higher levels, which benefits the caravan.
Conclusion
Caravan looks like a board game in the Orient. Trade and adventure are skillfully combined. Sometimes the events seem very repetitive, but can be loosened up by events. Overall, the game's presentation seems a bit dry. If you are looking for complex video sequences, you should choose another game. For everyone else, it is recommended.
