This Merchant Life

This Merchant Life is a trading strategy game set in the troubled medieval kingdom of Peregrine. You start with a rickety wooden cart, two horses and a few coins, then build your business by trading goods and taking on missions.

Trade and travel

Buy and sell goods in towns and cities, where prices change dynamically. Upgrade your cart and horses to improve their speed, carrying capacity and other attributes. You can recruit mercenaries and heroes to protect your caravan on roads haunted by bandits.

Events and battles

Randomised events present choices in a choose-your-own-adventure style. In turn-based battles, you command your mercenary protectors against wild animals, hostile people and other threats.

Campaign and progression

Complete missions to earn coins and reputation, and level up your character to unlock useful skills. You can also fund projects and constructions in each settlement to gain reputation and bonuses. The story campaign follows a tale of intrigue and unlikely merchant heroics.
