Beware of pay to win games like Caravan Stories.

I now play Caravan Stories. It is a free game that starts out very cool. It's battle system is pretty awesome. You can have up to 6 characters to play on your team, There are hundreds of types of characters to make up a team. Your characters max levels are 40. Plus you need in this to get 6 star weapons to max your characters out. Plus you have to level your weapons and caravan. Each humanoid character has a fully fledged story. You can level up your formations and caravan. You have pvp.too. There are many many good things about the game. However there are many bad things about the game too. Let us begin

The game does something we call Brown screening. This means the game locks up on a brown screen when trying to load into the game. It literally freezes up and you cant log in. This is a serious issue for many. Because Brown Screening also happens in the game as well. You cannot play the game at all. Many have gone for a month or more unable to play the game until a maintenance is done. There is also something called Blue screening. This means your game kicks you out during well, being in a place where alot of people are or trying to load into a busy area. Very terrible coding if you ask me.

This is a pay to win game and makes no lies about it. You can play for years and have level 40 characters and be maxed out then someone can come in an buy up a bunch of new characters they made(Most new collaboration characters start out over powered) and beat you in battle. Leveling a character can take forever, months and months to get to 40, unless you buy exp potions, which ain't cheap. Same for leveling up weapons. It is very hard to do so and many just end up buying all the items they need to do so. The items aint cheap either. This entire game is designed to get you to spend money to win. Plain and simple. In fact there are walls in the game that are super hard to beat unless you spend money in the game to get past them. Walls like super hard battles that are just impossible to beat unless you have certain characters at high levels and certain skills at high levels as well. There are people that have spent thousands of dollars a month on this game.

Can you imagine spending 1000's of dollars on a game and cant play it later? It is happening. Many have quit. But they keep coming back in hopes the game is fixeplayd. Please be warned. Caravan Stories is a pay to play game. Period. It works sometimes and many times it doesnt. Anyways. Good luck playing if you come. You will enjoy playing it. When you can that is.

End of line.

Sadly when i try to checkout, it wont let me select United States. their site thinks i'm in another zone for some weird reason.

edit... it was my office internet being the issue. i did it on my phone through cellular and it worked. Got me a white one.

Neonridr4h ago

it lets me order from Canada.. only charges me $20 for shipping too.

That being said. Spending $533 (CDN) on the white unit for it to primarily just sit and collect dust would be a little foolish.

It's an awesome idea though.

I almost went for the ultimate edition... as that truly is the best deal. the games by themselves are $90 (US), that alone is $900 in value for all 10 titles. then add in the $250 for the console and wired stick. Another $120 for a wireless stick, $60 for a wireless pad and then $35 for the memory card. $1365 (US) if all bought separately.

congrats on the White one, it is beautiful and tempting... LOL

darthv722h ago

I just had to... I already have an AES with a multi-cart. But this thing was just too good to pass up. Especially since the wireless controller works on regular AES and the game cart does as well. Plus it comes with a matching white memory card.

@darthv72 - I'm not a collector of games for these retro consoles (have the Analogue Super NT (SNES), Mega SG (Genesis) and 3D (N64). But I just use everdrives with each system as I only have a couple of SNES carts and only 2 N64 carts. A lot of these games are stupidly expensive so I'd rather just invest in a single everdrive and then I can just run every game. However the everdrive that works with the AES is $600! Crazy stuff.

darthv721h ago

^^...that is why i got one of those 160-1 carts off aliexpress. it works great. and yeah i use everdrives and ODE where available. i do like to buy PS4/5 games and Switch stuff though. I dont buy much in the way of physical XB anymore, I just use GPU to play what I like.

Had no idea SNK were still around tbh. What have they been working on for the last decade or two?

This brings back memories. I remember when I first saw Neo Geo back in 1991, it was $649.99 at launch, which would equal $1,575 today. I was thinking holy shit who is going to buy that when SNES was $200 and Genesis was $189. Well I was wrong, 😂 it sold for 14 yrs. My ringtone is the Neo Geo jingle https://www.youtube.com/wat... 😁
