Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Click these quests, collect these rewards, sort your inventory it's full again, sell these items, get this gold, quick the missions are ready, can't finish mission, inventory full.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Despite being called "Merchant" core gameplay is based on managing your adventurers, crafting better gear for them so they can kill bigger monsters and provide better resources to craft better items.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are fun pixel arts, music is annoying, and the game keeps persistent forgetting to not load custom in-game cursor.
