Product identity

Kalypso Media 37565 delivers Patrician IV as a Steam-activated downloadable strategy game. You receive an online code that unlocks the full historical trading simulation set in the late medieval Hanseatic League.

Ideal buyer

Strategy enthusiasts who enjoy deep economic management and maritime trade on legacy Windows systems will appreciate the detailed simulation. Players requiring modern operating-system support, multiplayer matchmaking or contemporary graphics features should look elsewhere.

Capacity and limits

The title runs on a 2 GHz Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 with 1 GB RAM and a Shader Model 2.0 graphics card with 256 MB video memory. It requires 5 GB of free disk space and DirectX 9.0c, so modern high-resolution assets or ray-traced effects are beyond its design scope.
