Fallout wanna be game.
That being said, I'd rather replay any of the Fallouts than play this sorry excuse.
Just like the 1st Caravaneer, the stats and mechanics in this one make absolutely no sense whatsoever.
There's no real dialogue, it's only 1 main storyline with only 2 options - good or evil.
The humor is reduced to recycled Chuck Norris jokes.
And the gameplay is pretty much grinding until you have enough stuff to be able to kill anything with 0 effort. Because if you don't, well, then you're screwed because the difficulty curve jumps all over the place. Frist you start fighting 2 guys with sticks encounters and then the next encounters have 3-10 people with long range rifles than can kill you in one shot.
Terrain having absolutely no buildings or cover doesn't help much either (there's some ruined walls here and there but the enemy AI is able to shoot straight through them for some reason).
So basically the core gameplay is doing triangular trading once you actually figure out what stuff to buy and sell where, and loading the game repeatedly to avoid encounters. Fun? I think not.
Reviews for "Caravaneer 2"
I really loved it, the economy part and the storyline. It was really great (5/5)
This is a great game but I am having trouble getting enough water and food to make it to see the Jolly Green Cult leader guy, I keep buying jerry can's and water bottles, but can't carry nearly enough food and water to make it all their yet. Also, what are your doctor and vetrinarian skills good for? I can't seem to use the abilities to heal myself or my animals.
Way better than the original Fallout. If this was on Kickstarter or Greenlight. I'd put money towards it.
Great game!
