Merchant to the Stars is a different game. In the game you are a merchant and you are dealing with the brave and mighty knights who are going out and slay the dragons and so on. You get to seat inside your cozy little shop, out of the elements, and make money! The brave and mighty knights come to you looking to sell their extra weapons, get upgrades, repairs, and someone to talk to! This is a fun little game.
The game is broken up into three sections or areas. The first section is the Front Desk. Here is where you interact with the customers. You can repair,sell, buy, talk and finally dismiss your customers. At the bottom of the screen, you will see a number of different resources, which are color coded. There items are used to hone and repair weapons. You can purchase items to help replenish these resources.
The second area is the Forge . Here is where items you buy are stored. If you scrap an item, you can reduce it to its resources (shown at the bottom of the screen). Also with the items you want to save, you can upgrade or hone them to increase value to sell. The redeem button will sell your item(s) to the Guild’s caravans for coin. Also in that area, you can upgrade your resources storage capacity and your work benches.
Finally the last location is the Ledger. Here is where you can see your sales statistics, your list of items, and see who is waiting in the store for you.
As I said the game has a different angle to it, thus the reason why I enjoy it. Now game play can get a bit repetitive but the kids like it and we have been taking turns playing . Overall it is not a bad game and for only $1 USD it is worth it.
I have put together a video review/overview of the game that you can see below.
