TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer

TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer is a refreshingly original take on the medieval trading sim, blending resource management, economic strategy, and light RPG mechanics into a surprisingly deep and quirky experience. Set in a whimsical world filled with eccentric villages and unpredictable roads, the game casts the player as a budding merchant trying to build a fortune through smart deals, calculated risk, and a fair bit of improvisation. Developed by the indie team AZAMATIKA and launched in Early Access, it has already managed to carve out a niche for itself by combining the addictive loop of trade-based games with the personality and charm of a lighthearted RPG. The core gameplay revolves around a dynamic supply-and-demand economy. Players travel between different towns and regions, buying goods where they're cheap and selling them where they're valuable.

Okay so, save the level up point for the knight? no, you unlock a barbarian in the n...

This game was fun initially. But as the time goes on, it gets tiresome. The grinding for heroes and town reputation is too much. Quick battle mechanic also sucks despite having a strong lineup.

Amazing game, Only thing i dislike is the legendary mercs aren't much better than the epics/rares.

Tedious, boring, poor UI

a fun grind

A great indie game, especially after recent patches. Lots of things to do and keep you engaged, and from the looks of the recent patches, a lot more to come!
