About This Game

Become the guard of a medieval caravan in a journey where the social connections you make are just as important as the money. In this roleplaying game, help the people who hire you in ways far beyond swinging a sword and scaring bandits for them, including tending to their animals and telling stories to their kids. Strategically plan your route across a procedurally-generated world, taking advantage of the text events you encounter to pursue your own goal, whether that is to become skilled and famous enough to join the escort of Her Majesty the Queen, or to see a religious pilgrimage to its destination. In the end, it's about the people who need you.

  • Experience text-rich interactive events alongside strategic planning and real-time combat.
  • Rely on your social skills as much as your battle prowess to see caravans safely to their destination.
  • Serve the needs of the land's factions, aiding the Noble, Criminal, Religious, and Heathen.
  • Select routes and explore the procedurally-generated map, seeking the clues to advance each questline.
  • Relax in a self-paced narrative experience of over 85,000 words.
  • Mod the narrative and add your own text events.

So much more under the surface! So quietly addictive. Great game for kids and parents. My Son loves video games and I'm honestly just horrible at technology, and he and i have really bonded playing the game, which is what the game is all about! The connections you make along the way. It seems like a typical RPG, but its so much more. its all about the moral choice you make. A wonderful game for players looking for a soothing experience with deeper meaning

To Carry a Sword is just too simple. There isn't a lot to do as the core mechanics of the game are do a caravan trip, rest or slowly level up abilities, rinse, repeat. Additionally, Renown, which starts at 12, takes a hit anytime you take more than 10 points of damage over the entirety of a caravan journey. Renown is essentially the timer until retirement (i.e. game over, man) and makes the game really not fun, since combat is a boring, if integral part, of this game. You can't get around it.

So this is a fun game. Its also boring. But you are a caravan guard, so sometimes life is boring. Interesting quests, easy reload mechanic. This is def a casual game. Combat is repetative to a fault. But rock paper scissors is boring as fuck, and we have a world championship for that, so who fucking knows. Def worth a buy if less than 10 bucks.

Good game, simple and fun. Kinda like Oregan Trail on steroids. I would love to see more added to this game. One of the things that could be added to the game is steam workshop compatibility, along with more modding capabilities. Haven't gotten much into the story but it's good so far. Great first game We Three Nouns.

Game might be worth 2 dollars. Seems impossible to gain and maintain fame to get better jobs and your on a timer before your forced to retire. Consequences and rewards of actions are very unclear which makes it difficult to make choices in order to achieve goals. Its somewhat fun, but maybe worth 2 dollars. I'd skip this or wait for a sale. Your gonna get bored pretty fast.
