Regain your riches, restore your honour and punish those who have wronged you.
*** PAY ONLY ONCE FOR THE WHOLE GAME *** - no micro-transactions, adds or any other tricks.
Merchants of Kaidan is a challenging trading game fused with lots of RPG elements. You start very humble, one cart, a purse of gold and silver coins is all that you have. Your task is to roam the world and search of opportunities to score some profit. Buy low, sell high - a merchant's motto is easy to grasp. And yet the job is harder than it seems.
A good merchant needs to know everything about the market, he is always on the lookout for a deal, always listening, always engaging and deepening his knowledge. He knows what forces influence the prices, what events affect them. A good merchant listens to rumours and gossips spread by travelers at inns and taverns; hoping for a clue, a hint where to go, where a good deal awaits. A good merchant surrounds himself with specialists smarter than him, people who help him maximize profits and minimize losses. He always expands his fleet of carts, he balances risks, calculates profitability.
The conditions are constantly changing, and supply and demand for different goods with them. Maybe you'd like to pay a cheaper price for furs in the summer, and sell them for a hefty profit as the winter is coming and people need warmth.
But is it worth carrying them for so many days, risking robbery, moths and taking precious space that you could use to transport something now and make a profit immediately?
Or is it worth to buy illegal herb in the out of reach swamps where it cost's next to nothing, and risk smuggling it into the city where you can sell it for an amazing profit? But what if the city guards want to control you? Should you pay a bribe? How big? Maybe the best course of action is to say that you have nothing and hope they don't find anything?
These are the types of questions you will have to ask yourself constantly.
- Merchants of Kaidan has 4 story lines each with many quests. Main quest that brings you closer to avenging your father's murder, and 3 side-quest lines. A total of over 100 quests each composed of multiple steps.
- A set of random events that influence your journeys. A storm on the sea, attack by dragons, highway robbery and many, many more.
- Three types of transport of your goods: by roads, by sea and by flight, each has its advantages and disadvantages and a unique set of events associated. As you grow your fleet you can join a partnership and you'll get to manage 3 traders.
- You can hire advisers each specializing in a different field. Their council will help you in a variety of issues. Some will show you short cuts on the roads, some will help you fight of the bandits, some will council you on how to sail better and in case of a storm, how to minimize risks and losses. If you wish, you can also send them to school to improve their abilities for additional cost.
- 4 seasons of the year that influence the prices of goods, open some paths for travel and block the others. They also impact the way the game looks, each city has a distinct look at different time of the year.
- Random blessings and curses that influence your statistics. They in turn affect how well you conduct business.
- A set of artefacts that influence your statistics or can help negate the effects of random events.
- A complex market fluctuation algorithm that include many variables such as: demand, supply, seasons of the year, localization of the city, random events like droughts or rat infestation.

Fantastic game.. i have lot freedom to go where i want, buy or sell anything i want. The price is realistic and match with the town back story. It is feel like real merchant. But this game need more event and more random event(road event). Sometimes i feel bored with the event.

No IAP, this is a complete game through and through. Gameplay is well balanced and having a few different goals to pursue makes it very replayable. Well worth its purchase price!

It's got good reviews on PC but it won't run on my Moto. I contacted the developers but heard nothing. Not sure how to get my money back. Approach with caution. 10 May update: two months on, it still doesn't run.

My only complaint about this game is the stupid knife game in pubs. The devs put a lot of effort into this game. It wouldn't have been hard to make the pub game a black jack or poker game

This is an excellent game for 0.99, and it doesn't bombard you with adds and micro transactions.

The game is alright but it needs more proper guide and also how you do things with mines and all, I mean if anything its to difficult for me, but hey man, maybe its just me, but honestly I'm not getting much of anywhere, I was forced to buy a another cart a little later in the game and sell my old but even then I ended up in a pretty bad spot, am not to happy about that really. Otherwise the game is fine, I look forward to an update, it could use abit of work..
