Evaluation

Let Them Trade launched on July 24, 2025 and has received a substantial series of free content updates since then. Three major updates have shipped post-launch: Update 1.1 on November 17, 2025 (a large update adding new production chains, research tree rework, a bandit bounty system, and a new end-game structure), the Seafarer Update on April 20, 2026 (ships, harbor buildings, and water-based exploration), and the Landscaping Update on June 24, 2026 (terrain transformation tools for tiles adjacent to cities). A roadmap published on January 26, 2026 outlined two planned updates — Seafarers and Landscaping — both of which have now shipped. In the Landscaping Update post on June 24, 2026, the developer explicitly stated that the roadmap has come to an end, but confirmed that one more final update is still in development, described as giving players additional options to customize how they play. This means there is at least one more announced but unshipped update coming from the developer. The developer remains actively engaged with the game, having posted as recently as June 24, 2026, and the studio has maintained a consistent pattern of delivering on its announced content commitments throughout the post-launch period.
Evidence

About this game

In the name of the king, you need to build flourishing cities, explore and produce resources, and protect the economy from cheeky bandits.

  • Resources are scattered across the game map

  • Acquire resources by founding cities

  • You decide building placements; cities manage citizen needs autonomously

  • Cities have their own budget and resources

  • Cities buy/sell resources and goods independently

  • The player receives a percentage of taxes from city trades

  • Wealthy cities are generous; poorer cities are stingier

  • Happier citizens pay more taxes, increasing city revenue

  • Protect cities from robbers attracted by wealth

  • Purchase goods through the castle for various needs and improvements

  • Strategically trade goods for profit or store them for harder times

  • Various scenarios with different challenges for dynamic gameplay

Key features of the game:

  • Relaxing city-building without outside threats 🏰

  • Watch the complex economic systems unfold on their own 📈

  • Research many different production buildings and resources 🏭

  • Send out your knights to scout for new lands or to protect your economy from cheeky bandits 🤺

  • Check out our campaign and help the king and his trusty advisor, Mr. Nuts, prepare for their special event 👑

  • Or play on your own terms in sandbox mode 🤸

  • Create your own scenarios with our built-in scenario editor and share them on the Steam workshop 🔨
