A Medieval Tycoon RPG

Internet not required for play

* * *

As the Merchant, you are the commander of your own domain!

Blending together traditional RPG systems, tycoon mechanics, and a fantasy overworld, Merchant aims to reimagine the traditional mobile RPG. In Merchant, players take the role of a shopkeeper who must manage a team of Heroes and Crafters. Heroes are sent out on quests in order to fight enemies and gather materials. Crafters then use those materials to create weapons and armor. As the shopkeeper, players must balance their micro-economies between selling items for gold and crafting items to better ensure success for the Heroes.

Dear Tyler, I've been here basically since Merchant got released. And I've been disappointed many, many times with the decisions you made to change the game(play). But ever since the previous update I can't play the game anymore. The updates prevent me from starting up the game without Google Play Service. I've deleted the app, so you don't have to give a shit I suppose, but at least stop screwing over other players with sneaky ads, micro-transactions and massive gameplay changes. Thanks.

Its a great game. There isn't much more I could ask of you. Buuuuuuut there are some things still. Firstly The graphics aren't very good and this is probably intentional. I don't like it. Please may you give an option between the different graphics- old and new. The tips are sometimes hard to read as a result of the graphics. Could you add in something where we are able to watch the fight between hero and beast? It would be very interesting and a way to control your hero or party of heroes would be cool too. Please consider these suggestions.

I never write reviews but you guys deserve it. This is a fantastic game, with no bugs. In depth strategy and tons of things to do and try for. Thank you for the great game.

How frustrating! For a game that requires me to spend game currency to go on quests and craft I find it frustrating when the way to earn those coins is broken. In order to earn coins I need to go on quests, but the listed coin reward doesn't actually work. I've watched countless videos to get some coins after each quest but still nothing happens. Ugh! What a waste of time! I should be able to earn coins just by completing quests, and double that reward when I watch a video, but the game mechanic is broken!

Honestly. I don't regret spending money on here. This game has got the old feeling to it and it's great. Fun. Addictive. And thrilling. Yes it's kinda a slow grind but it is worth it. Was wondering though. Could you add a enchanting crafter in the craft slot. But possibly have to pay for it if you don't want to keep crafting for + equipment. And use the runes for enchanting if you have them with the crystal and deppeninflg on the item. If it's mithral. You have to have a tune. Crystal and few mithril ingots. I think that'll be great. But keep up the great work on this game. I hope to see it grow.

Been a while since I last played this game. Changed my mobile and now I lost all progress and purchases. Even after I log in my play account there is no difference. My achievements are registered as I left the game, but nothing else. Can I restore my purchases in any way possible? I don't mind playing the game all over again. But buying the stuff again is not something I'm willing to do.

Now I have to actually pay attention to where I tap since I dont want to watch ads for extra gold. I wish this was never added. I also experience a graphical bug where a button exactly like the "Done" button but without text appears directly above the done button, but won't go away until I close the app. Please fix this, it's weird and broken.

... New update... For Merchant... Is this real?! I thought this game was abandoned! I love this game so much! I'm level 48 on Google play and out of all the games I have ever downloaded, this is one of my top ten. Thank you for keeping the game alive!

B70%
by B####:

Doing a quest costs gold, crafting an item costs gold, the only way to get gold beyond selling the items you craft is to watch an ad. So, you do the first quest (the only one that doesn't cost gold) and you get the items required to make a health potion. The potion costs 10 gold to make, the potion sells fora 18 gold (for a net profit of 8) the items required to craft it can be sold for a total of 12 gold (4 items for 3 gold each). This game shows a rather complete lack of understanding of both economics and balance (beyond demanding that you watch an ad in order to get gold). Find something better to play.

Would have given it 5 stars but back button often does not work like I expect in game. Maybe it needs a back button on some panels. Also seems to crash my Samsung Galaxy s5 often.

U70%
by U####:

Installed it and started playing. Immediately after completing the first quest with my hero during the tutorial, it freezes and I cannot do anything. Restarted and it did the same thing after replaying the first few steps.

O70%
by O####:

A fun timespender if youre into resource management. Could use a bit more information (what does accuracy and evasion do?), and some classes need balancing, but overall a fun, slightly addictive, game.

by Y####:

This is the second time I've tried it, and I've gotten a lot better. If you're thinking about playing this game, just be a bit patient. If you see that something says it will take twenty minutes, it will generally take less. It's an amazing game. Give it a shot!

Y70%
by Y####:

I love the game. The only problem is that theres no guides or no set way to grind for money. Other than that 5 stars.

H70%
by H####:

I got a new phone a couple years ago and lost my progress so I stopped playing. But I've come back and while I had to start over, I'm addicted all over again! <3 Only other thing I'd like to see change is the Android Back button quits the game without confirmation when I expect it to work the same as the in-game back button.

E70%
by E####:

Fun idle/grinding type game. No in app purchases are necessary for advancement. The crafting side of this game great but the combat side is lacking.

S70%
by S####:

Has a pay to win option but it's not forced so I like it, great time killer used it on a family vacation car ride, doesn't need WiFi so 8/10

Lo he tenido que empezar varias veces porque se me rompió el móvil pero ni siquiera me ha dado pereza. Es un clásico de juego que te engancha, por su sencillez.

Amazingly simple. Graphics are neat. Some small graphical bugs present. Also cool to see it being made with Corona SDK, haven't seen many games that use it.

Great concept, a few bugs, the special/rare enemy spawning system let's you choose the rare enemy, a button will appear and never disappear, but other than that the games great

Idk! I didnt play it to long! It was just to slow and boring for my taste!

Y70%
by Y####:

I mean it's quite difficult, which I think really makes it good. I think it's the best game on my phone

A fun and engaging game. I wish there was syncing or cloud save so I didn't have 2 games, one on phone, and one on tablet.
