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.

Simple game, very basic, no complaints.
Good fun straight forward game
Game is fun but recently crashes from time to time.
Great time killer !!!
Well balanced and and engaging game. Can easily play without pay or ads and the cost to pay a few bucks to the devs for expansions etc. are quite reasonable. Just as a mobile game should be. If you're into this genre, then get this app. If not and you'd like to give something like this a go, then this is a great pla...
