Our take on Desolate Wastes: Vendor Chronicles

The bounce point arrives when trading and equipment repair become part of the core loop. Players expecting continuous mutant combat may lose interest while buying goods, negotiating prices, restoring gear, and funding the defences needed for later attacks.

What is Desolate Wastes: Vendor Chronicles?

Play as a trader in a post-apocalyptic setting.

Buy goods from wandering survivors and resell them at a profit, using bartering skills to negotiate transactions. Repair damaged equipment for income, then spend resources on mercenaries and defensive installations. These preparations support fights against groups of mutants, monsters, and brigands. The game combines commerce, local interactions, base protection, and combat from the perspective of a vendor. Its presentation uses retro artwork.
