History VideoGame / Caravaneer

* AllHailTheGreatGodMickey: The Man of Zinc, based upon ComicBook/{{Superman}} (the "Man of Steel"), and Chunk Nariz, an expy of Creator/ChuckNorris, both have a large religious following in the wasteland. There's also the Kivi religion, in which they worship a scientist named Spencer Rice who showed them how to do agriculture effectively.

** The Man of Zinc is an obvious expy of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}.''

* ShoutOut: Lois's AmazonBrigade that sets off to attack the Drekar are made up of [[Series/{{Vikings}} Lagertha]], [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Brienne]] (both with high sword skill), and [[Film/TheHobbit Tauriel]] (with high crossbow skill).

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can attack friendly caravans and side with various immoral or corrupt factions. In the sequel, you can do that plus enslave the people you encounter.

* ActionGirl: Lois. She leads a female warrior band against the Drekar, and is essential for helping you defeat them.

* BareYourMidriff: Some options of clothing include bikinis and belly shirts.

!!These games provide examples of:

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can attack friendly caravans and side with various immoral or corrupt factions. In the sequel, you can do that plus enslave the people you encounter.
----

* ImAHumanitarian: In the sequel, [[spoiler: Sapoboi Rodrigues in Lago is secretly a cannibal.]] The player can also choose to learn how to cannibalize people. There is also an enemy group of cannibals who kidnap people near the city of Confusion.

** Spencer Rice resembles Creator/NathanFillion for some reason.

** The Narizians worship Chunk Nariz, and consider the "Chunk Narris facts" book as religious text. Their religious rituals involve mimicking Chunk's fighting moves.

* AgainstMyReligion: In the sequel, the Kivi tribe won't help you to get rid of the Drekar, reasoning that its against their religion to be violent or to let any outsiders inside the camp. This is a result of Spencerism, a religion they created modeling it after a man who attempted to teach them science only to fail as they were very superstitious. [[spoiler: You can later find him and bring him back to convince them to help defeat the Drekar.]]

There's also the Kivi religion, in which they worship a scientist named Spencer Rice who showed them how to do agriculture effectively.
* AllUpToYou: The majority of the wasteland's population will not do anything to push the story, leaving you to take charge.

** The Man of Zinc is an obvious expy of Franchise/{{Superman}}.
** The Bunker is the Caravaneer equivalent of the Vault from VideoGame/{{Fallout}}.

** Later, [[spoiler: when John Sheppard died of old age, Richard Weaver became an opposite to Oswald Raff from VideoGame/{{Caravaneer}}. While Weaver may have been a robber like Raff's previous life, he is actually a [[TheAtoner reformed]] leader who maintained Sheppard's ideals.]]
** The protagonists from both games: the protagonist of the first is a person who is trying to make their ends meet when they received an unexpected inheirtance from their uncle and become a caravaneer. The entire story plot of the original game started only when the protagonist is interested in it. The sequel protagonist, however, lived in a underground bunker community and are forced into a quest to search for their mentor, Olaf. Upon finding him, the protagonist then [[spoiler: travels all the way to Qubba to search the people taken from the bunker, while working for different factions in exchange for information.]] Not to mention that the starting location of the original protagonist is southeast of Qubba, while the sequel protagonist lives west of the city.
* FutureImperfect: It seems that many concepts from the pre-apocalypse world are heavily misinterpreted by the wastelanders.
** The Church of the Man of Zinc is a religion based on a Superman expy, in which the comic books were mistaken for religious texts, there's a Saint Lois, and America is believed to be heaven. Also, characters who follow the religion uses words like "Krypt" or "Luthor" as curses.

* IntrepidMerchant: The player in both games has to traverse harsh desert filled with bandits to make a fortune through trading goods from one town to another.

* OurPresidentsAreDifferent: Oswald is President Corrupt variety. Even he didn't bother with bandits roaming areas outside of Qubba and police charging money from incoming caravans in exchange for safe passage. [[spoiler: His association with Robbers didn't help much with preventing a revolution from Desert Patrol at all]].

** In the first game, Jorge Arbusto[[note]]"George Bush" in Spanish[[/note]] is a recruitable mercenary who resembles UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, [[TakeThat his salary is overpriced compared to other mercenaries with similar stats, and he possesses an intelligence stat of zero.]]

* AgainstMyReligion: In the sequel, Kivi camp won't help you to get rid of the Drekar, reasoning that its against their religion to be violent or to let any outsiders inside the camp. This is a result of Spencerism, a religion they created modeling it after a man who attempted to teach them science only to fail as they were very superstitious. [[spoiler: you can later find him and convince him to convince them to help defeat the Drekar.]]

* CrapsackWorld: Even the places' name is BilingualBonus for every negative connotation (Verdammter Platz being "doomed place" in German) that represented insignificant and miserable life in the wasteland, which is filled with bandits ravaging caravans. The situation is not helped by the fact that the closest thing to proper security would be the police patrolling near Qubba, who would ask the passing caravans large sums of money even after they're already paid. The government of the region is led by PresidentEvil (well, corrupt would be the right term) who is accused [[spoiler: correctly]] to be collaborating with robbers, letting them operate freely outside of the core region in exchange for gold and stolen goods.

* EatTheDog: You can choose to kill and eat any of your animals, including horses and donkeys.

** The Bunker is the Caravaneer equivalent of Vault from VideoGame/{{Fallout}}.
%%* FastForwardMechanic: You can choose different speeds to travel by.

The sequel protagonist, however, lived in a underground bunker community are forced into a quest to search for his mentor, Olaf.

* IntrepidMerchant: The player had to traverse harsh desert filled with bandits to make fortune through trading goods from one town to another.

** Fiston Diputtan, president of the Federation, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely]] is not Putin. Neither is the [[TakeThat wealthy slaver]] Dolland Truffle related to anyone in real life with a similar name.
** Doubles as HilariousInHindsight in that in ''Caravaneer 2'' (which was released in 2014), you discover that [[spoiler: Truffle and Diputtan are conspiring to subvert democracy in Alkubra, and straight-up conquer Qubba. To top it off, this partly involves the former covertly selling uranium to the latter, which is something "Truffle" ([[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment probably falsely]]) accused his ''opponent'' of doing.]]
** [[Creator/ChuckNorris Chunk Nariz]] literally has a relatively large religion formed around his memetic persona.

* RailRoading: A subtler version in the story mode, where maps of the region are only sold in the respective region's towns, which means that the player must complete story missions that reveals the location of a town in that region, and after that the rest of the region is open for the player to explore.
* RightForTheWrongReasons: In the sequel, if you talk to Church of Zinc about Emilia's hairy and savage baby, they think it is incurable and must be euthanized with rituals to dispel its "demonic" influence from the bunker. If you talk to her about that, she and the others consider this ridiculous superstitions and refuse to talk to you. [[spoiler: Turned out that the mutation of Emilia's baby is permanent, but was caused by Emilia's constant exposure to radiation from the secret refining of weapons-grade uranium into the fuel source.]]

* Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Kivi tribe in Caravaneer 2. If you bring [[MightyWhitey their hero]] back, you can get them to attack the tribe of slavers.

** In the sequel, Fiston Diputtan, president of the Federation, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial definitely]] is not Putin. Neither is the [[TakeThat wealthy slaver]] Dolland Truffle related to anyone in real life with a similar name.

* AllHailTheGreatGodMickey: The Man of Zinc, based upon Superman (the "Man of Steel") and Chunk Nariz, an expy of Creator/ChuckNorris both have a large religious following in the wasteland. There's also the Kivi's religion, in which they worship a scientist named Spencer Rice after his attempt to introduce agriculture to them ends up with him being deified.

* AllHailTheGreatGodMickey: The Man of Zinc, as comic book character and Chunk Narris, an expy of Creator/ChuckNorris both have a large religious following in the wasteland. There's also the Kivi's religion, where they worships a scientist named Spencer Rice after his attempt to introduce agriculture to them ends up with him being deified, it snowballed to the point that they have taken the mascot of a canned peas as Spencer.

* CrapsackWorld: Even the places' name is BilingualBonus for every negative connotation (Verdammter Platz being "doomed place" in German) that represented insignificant and miserable life in the wasteland, which is filled with bandits ravaging caravans. The situation is not helped by the fact that the closest thing to proper security would be the police patrolling near Qubba, who would ask the passing caravans large sums of money even after they're already paid.

* DirtyCops: Patrols in Qubba will ask $1000 whenever they made contact with the player's caravan.

* TheEmpire: The Federation may sound nice, but functions as a dictatorship that aggressively conquers other towns and routinely executes dissidents. One of their missions even sees you [[spoiler: being a given a nuke by the president of the Federation himself and told to set it off in Qubba]].

** The Church of the Man of Zinc is a religion based on a Superman expy, where the comic books were mistaken for religious texts, there's a saint Lois, and America is considered as some kind of an afterlife. Also characters who follows the religion uses words like "Krypt" or "Luthor" as curses.
** The Narizians in comparison worships Chunk Nariz, and also mistaken the "Chunk Narris facts" book as religious text. Their religious rituals involve mimicking Chunk's fighting move.
