Is Merchants of Kaidan worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who enjoy market speculation and want changing prices to shape travel and cargo choices
- Story-focused RPG players who want a revenge plot alongside more than 100 quests
- Strategy players who prefer managing transport, advisers, risks, and up to three traders
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking combat-led gameplay may find the repeated trading, route planning, and profit calculations too dominant
- Players who prefer short, self-contained sessions may hit a wall at the multi-step quest structure and ongoing market management
- Players looking for a focused single-character campaign may not want the partnership system's simultaneous control of three traders
Our take on Merchants of Kaidan
The likely bounce point arrives when routine trading becomes the main activity: tracking price shifts, selecting routes, weighing cargo risks, and managing advisers. Players who want the revenge story to drive every moment may find that narrative progress is regularly interrupted by economic planning.
What is Merchants of Kaidan?
Merchants of Kaidan combines trading with RPG elements.
The player begins with one cart and limited money, then travels between locations to buy goods cheaply and sell them for profit. Prices change with supply, demand, seasons, locations, and events such as droughts or infestations. Goods may be transported by road, sea, or air, each with different risks and events. The game includes one main storyline, three side-quest lines, and more than 100 multi-step quests. Advisers provide specialized assistance and can receive further training for a cost. Seasonal conditions open or close routes, while random events, blessings, curses, and artifacts affect journeys and statistics. Partnerships allow management of three traders at once.
