Arcane Merchant

This is a tricky one for me to put into words. I'll start by saying: I really like this game. I like the premise, I like the art style, the mechanics are solid. All of that said, it feels like it is missing the "Arcane" element of Arcane Merchant. You cast one (one) spell, then bop thieves with a book. There's no enchanting or potion making to be seen, which feels like a lost opportunity. Your trade "empire" currently consists of one shop, and the city feels kind of small. The citizenry have SO MUCH PERSONALITY in their walks, but the lack of interaction with them kind of makes it slide off. On the whole, very solid foundation and execution. Needs a little more Oomph to go from Good to Great. TL;DR: Pros: Artwork Merchant Play Relaxing Character designs YOU CAN PET THE CAT Cons: Minimal Arcane Small World Limited Interaction with NPCs

I really wanted to like this game, but the staff being locked behind so many products you need to sell kills it for me. I can barely keep up with the cash register, ordering new stock, and stocking shelves, and cleaning while I'm only selling 3 items. I didn't actually count the number of items you need to research to get your first staff member unlocked but I would estimate it's maybe an additional 15 or so, and you don't just have to unlock the items, you have to sell a specific number of each item before you can unlock the next to sell. The fun part is that the game doesn't even tell you any of that, it just says unlock the Beastmaster so you can hire staff, then the next step is hire staff. But then you find out you don't have any staff capacity, but the game does absolutely nothing to tell you how to increase that so I had to go google it. This is supposed to be a chill merchant sim, I don't want to have to run myself ragged trying to keep all that stuff in stock, cleaning, manning the register, and ordering stock. That's just stressful.

Nice cozy game if your into store type games. It has a chill and cozy atmosphere I highly recommend :)

Arcane Merchant is a game about owning a magical shop where you sell all kinds of goods. The progression is very steady, and it really makes you earn your upgrades through research. It's probably one of the best shop keeper games I've ever played.

This game has a very good core. I hope the dev considers working an expansion that adds a ton more (Fishing, new shop on that island with a sword in it, more research/items/adventures) I wish there were more games like this with the same quality. I would like the cat to be the shop guardian after so many pets and attack stinky people

Nice and cozy game but needs more content. After you prepare automations you would like to spend time on decorations but even they are not enough. PS: If you fix the framerate to 120 then your CPU is heating less.

So, I liked the game, it was super addictive to manage the shop and adventurers, but it felt like the game just stopped at a certain point where I had done all of the unique quests, I researched the entire tech tree, I employed all of the helpers, and then it was just the same for the next 5 hours that I played. TL:DR - Very fun and addictive game for 25 hours. And then it's the same forever after. Buy if 25 hours of frantic merchant-sturbation is worth the purchase price for you.

Великолепный дизайн предметов, начиная от зелий и заканчивая уникальными предметами с экспедиций. Присутствует дух средневековья, особенно с музыкой. Можно зачиллиться на 10-20 часов и ни о чём не думать. Т.к. игра развивается и разработчики ею занимаются, возможно она станет ещё лучше. Думаю портал около походов и островок в море с мечом в будущем нам поведают свои тайны) [h3]Чего не хватает в игре:[/h3] 1) Более гибкой регулировки звуков, и исправления багов со звуками, когда грузчики постоянно спамят открытием и закрытием сундуков, либо некоторые места, где усиливается ветер и бьёт по ушам и ужасный звук мимика. 2) Возможности в режиме редактирования использовать не только сетку, но и привязку углам и клеткам. 3) Контента пока что маловато, на часов 10-20 игры.
