Comments on Merchant for Android

★★★★★ Charlie Plum · Sep 21, 2026
Love merchant has to get it again when I got a new phone but this game is simple, retro feels and a simple play at your pace. If you're into a simple game that has a fun challenge at the latter parts this is for you.
★★★★★ Hector Barajas · Dec 1, 2025
Big fan of this game. I can pick it up quickly, put it down just as easily. I can go weeks without playing and pick it right back up. It's the perfect game esp when traveling and internet is spotty
★★★★★ Alex Medina · Jun 15, 2025
I absolutely love this game I play it probably more than a time in between life and work. The art works down to the grind I'm in for the long run. 6 stars in my opinion.
★★★★★ Christian Graham · Feb 14, 2026
Best Idle game on the market!!! If you're looking for an enjoyable experience with simple, and approachable mechanics then this is the game for you!
★☆☆☆☆ Nope · Mar 31, 2026
Beyond awful. Not even a game. Since when did pop up spam become a genre? If your game mechanics are so complicated they need a tutorial they're just not good. Played this before, not a vegetable, why are you insulting me like I am?
★☆☆☆☆ Arnold Strong · Apr 28, 2026
I have played this game before, and it is a fun game. Unfortunately, I have an issue with the Achievements part. It simply doesn't work. I have tried reinstalling the game, google play, resetting my Google play account, nothing works. I have made a bug report just now and as soon as it will be fixed, I will gladly give it a 5 star grade because I played a lot of it, and it is fun. Of course there are some pay walls, but you can enjoy it playing for free.
★★☆☆☆ Ghost _ · May 8, 2026
Game is cool but support to reset password not so much, it doesn't even send the email to reset

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

Blending together traditional RPG systems, management 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.
