In Merchant of the Skies you're the captain of an airship! Sell items, gather resources and build your own trade empire in the clouds!
Merchant of the Skies is a trading game with light base-building and tycoon elements. You start off as a captain of a small cloudship and work your way towards establishing your own trade company.
Merchant of the skies is an experimental game: it does not have a distinct genre, but tries to capture the feeling of traveling the world and establishing your own company. That means we try to incorporate exploration, base building, trading and some minor rpg elements into the game.

Completed the game in 2 days 8.2 hours in total, was a good experience. didn't really do the caravan stuff because by the time i finished the quest needed to unlock it i was almost done with everything1 found this helpful
Very repetitive and simplistic trading sim.
A really fun short game about trading. I would recommend it on sale.
Quality game, a hidden gem.
Good
The game is fine. But it feels like an early access game, yet hasn't seen any meaningful update since 2020. The problem is the gameplay loop gets old pretty quick without meaningful upgrades. This leads to a lack of motivation to progress, which is the whole draw of the game. Additionally the tutorial and UI is rather poor. leading to a bit of confusion early on. It could be refined to something quite good. However, in this stage I wouldn't recommend.
