Our take on Moonlight Basket
Rather than centering on combat, quests, or character leveling, the game puts commercial routes at the heart of play. Exploration, adventure, alchemy, wagon modification, and mini-games connect to the trading loop, with market activity serving as the main focus.
What is Moonlight Basket?
Moonlight Basket is a trading simulation set in the maritime kingdom of Ishwald.
Players take the role of Tyco, an alchemist who travels between cities buying and selling goods. The game includes more than 400 trade goods, with additional items obtainable through exploration, adventure, and alchemy. Investments in cities expand their markets. Players can breed or purchase pack animals and modify wagons to carry more merchandise. Mini-games provide various bonuses.
