hough it started as a mobile game the visuals good and it has a decent story. Some of the features from it being a mobile game make it a waiting game. Caravan Stories is MMORPG that has more of single player adventure feel to it.

Just a very bad game. The comment madeby lolthisgame was me,I forgot to add that I had been playing the game for like half a decade. I know the game inside out. I recently came back to see if the game became more f2p friendly, it hasn't at ****'s actually worse. Lastly, the gacha prices are crazy high in thisgame and havea good chance of flopping unless it's a special chest. I've spent $1000 on caravan during one old event,needless to say they didn't even remotely reward me. Also this game will try to FOMO. Play genshin or tower of fantasy, much better and actually f2p. Personally,I quit as soon as phantasy star dropped globally. Another better game

Terrible game and i played since release so i know. People giving CS a 10 are outright lieing, the game was better at release but ever since Aiming has stopped supporting the NA version well. Way too many bugs, you'll crash everyday, the game is HEAVILY p2w and they recently have been introducing heavier p2w elements. The game is a shell of its old self, its a terrible game. Even promotional events such as crossovers are terrible now. Crossovers use to have their own story and you would get a couple crossover characters for free. Now you legit get nothing without spending and the crossovers have no story and its been like this since they got scummy with lootboxes. This game is garbage, just play Genshin impact. I played caravan for years and its basically a crappy version of Genshin. Also its been obvious for years they dont care about the NA version. They have 0 promotion or anything for Caravan on NA side but the Japanese version has a manga on their main website, they also have a constantly updated yt channel for Japanese version that always keeps them up to date with the developers plans. Unlike most games, the NA version literally doesnt get any news about whats coming to the game until the day the content releases which makes it impossible to build hype among the playerbase for future content and it makes it impossible to even know when crossovers or any events the NA version has will actually release. If youre a NA player you wont ever know whats coming. Lastly, the aforementioned bugs dont ever get fixed. A large portion of the games bugs are from years ago and directly effect enjoyment, but they never get patched. Every time theres a new content drop the game is more buggy than before said content drop released and its VERY common for players to be forced to redownload the game just to play it. I've had several stories ruined by buggy cutscenes and hard crashes, something i can not accept as a hardcore jrpg fan who expected a quality product..

Its originally a Japan gatcha mobile game so understand that the game is heavily p2w and not easy to just pick up and play casually. Yes there are a lot of bluescreens/ translation issues/ loading lag times, etc. It's a mobile port to the PS4 what do you expect? Being said- what kept me interested in the game are its character, world design, collaborations, and WoW-esque auto traveling/ quest completions. The art style reminds me of games out of the 90s JRPG era (Rogue Galaxy ps2 example). The game isn't for everyone but those that stay pretty much are committed to it.

Best game ever. I played the game till I made it to the village, and saw a dog and killed. That was the best time ever. I would only play it just to kill the dog over and over again lol

The game is all around wonderful it's greatly ported to PS4 as the mobile version in Japan the graphics are very detailed the frame rate is constant and there's never a dull moment yes you will hit snag from time to time because like any other great game there are many other players that game does have difficulty spikes can play as multiple races to play and it's basically a hero collector for PS4

Caravan Stories is a free to play sort of mmo/gacha/strategy/rpg and while its not exactly perfect or even that great, it carries a lot of charm in the setting, characters, and story around everything. There's no tutorial about things so it requires some researching but theres wikis that have been helping us out here. The only issue seems to be a lack of response or support from the devs for the NA server. Lots of issues still around from bluescreens, lag, broken quests, etc. Will it last im not sure but if you go into it with a simple mindset that its not all day or that it will break sometimes, you can have a good time playing casually

I've only played this game for 1 or 2 hours, so maybe this isn't quite a fair review, so my review might change later, but I felt in this short amount of time, I got a good grasp of the game and its mechanics and how it is overall. Compared to other MMOs and even RPGs, I feel it's really simple and not as indepth, as it holds your hand like any other mobile/gacha game. It's riddled with gacha upgrades and quick achievements here and there to pump out the dopamine to make you feel good, but they are nothing but lots of empty achievements, just like what MMOs seem to be these days. If I want to play a game that is gacha or mobile-like, then I personally would rather stick with one of the Final Fantasy ones since I'm a fan of the series or any RPG series I'm quite familar with and a fan of, instead of getting into one that is almost the same. I thought I might try this one to at least collect some PS4 trophies, but even then there's not a whole lot of trophies, and I managed to get all of them except 3 within that 1-2 hours of playing. This MMO just makes me prefer paying a subscription fee and going back to Final Fantasy XIV instead or a real MMO. I suppose that's what you get for something that is mostly free though. Despite all the negative feedback I gave, the game does deserve a bit of a higher score instead of my nitpicking for not being a fan of these kinds of games and the whole gacha/lottery system. The music sounds beautiful, and the art design is really interesting. The story seems decent enough so far, but it's too early to tell if it will get better. This is something that can be played casually for half an hour or an hour here and there, but it doesn't seem like there will be anything hardcore in it, unless you want to open up your wallet and pay a lot into it.

For the first 30 hours I really enjoyed the game, the graphics, art style and character design is well done and it's my kind of game...however once you hit the grind wall when all the free stuff stops flowing in it becomes a chore to play because you're not really "playing" so much as you're frustrated trying to figure how you can possibly move ahead when there is no consistent way outside of purchasing resources with real world money and that's something I'm rarely willing to do with F2P games because it's a never ending cycle of more more more. I do like the game though and if it were sold as a regular game without all the forced extreme grind I definitely would have purchased it.

Don't get me wrong, I like the game. It is easy to play, cute characters and interesting stories. The art is what I like and the content is plenty. However, the game keeps hanging and lots of issues when playing. I am getting sick of all the waiting and restarting. My patience has reached the limit. Every day at least 3 times, in just 2 hours. The game is just too buggy. Gonna stop wasting my time and play other games.
SummaryLive for the journey! Do you ever find yourself with a similar feeling of wanderlust? Vast open prairies, mystical forests as far as the eye can see, barren lands covered in rocky outcroppings… Caravan Stories is a free-to-play MMORPG where you adventure in an expansive world with a large cast of allies.
