Games where you play as a Merchant Anonymous 03/19/2025 (Wed) 20:35:26 Id: 07e6fa No. 1080891
Games where you engage in mercantile activities, preferably fantasy/historical rather than modern businessman shit. Not the same type of fantasy. Recettear is a pretty classic example and involves you running a shop in a fantasy JRPG world. Port Royale 2 is a great game set in the Carribean where you play as a merchant/Privateer going around the Carribean selling shit to different towns and nations, engaging in wars, hunting pirates etc. Unfortunately, it does not really allow you to be a pirate. The economy is pretty complex from what I've seen and many games do not get to the same level as this one.

>>1080893 Asides from the meme, is that game any good?
>>1080909 I don't think it had any presence outside of Germany, so I have no idea.

It has naval combat but it's mostly about being a ship merchant
Brighter Shores has a merchant profession, which is pretty well done. It works basically like being a middleman merchant in RuneScape. It's not as fleshed out as these other games, but the hope is it will be when player to player trading is added.

>>1080891 What's more historical than managing the greatest company that ever was? I'll personally vouch for any of the X series games if you can stomach sci-fi, though.
>>1080891 Kamidori Alchemy Meister is the best

>>1080891 Moonlighter and the old Ragnarok Online MMO had a merchant class.

The Guild II actually lets you RP as a (((merchant))). Last time I played it (modded) I made the most offensively looking kike character its limited char creator allowed and devoted it towards crafting arcane trinkets made out of corpse parts and selling them to the illiterate masses. while also digging my way through the local political sphere too bad it didnt include those yellow jew hats. Then I married a rowdy tomboy rogue. >>1080893 Delet that fake cover, this is the real one.
Guilds 2 renaissance is alright, shame it never realized its potential
>>1080891 Dragon Quest 3 and the Torneko Mystery Dungeon games
>>1080891 hows port royale 4? i've heard nothing but bad things from fans of the series but if i've never played one before is it a solid sailing merchant game?
I remember making a thread on /v/ before it got nuked, but I stopped after three weeks because it just kept dying after 13–20 hours here the copypaste that i make for the thread: Merchant and Stock Game /Thread/ Come and join us while we discuss how to be a good merchant and smart stock traders >What is Merchant and Stock Game /Thread/ Merchant and Stock Game /Thread/ is a thread that appeared on Friday that discussed any game that has an element of trading goods (ingame) and stock >This thread discouraged games that trade skin nor items that lead to transactions with real money Games that this Thread recommend >Play as a shop Keeper Winkeltje: The Little Shop Recettear (has RPG element) Moonlighter (has RPG element) Any game that sell specific item or tycoon >Play as someone who owns a trading company Patrician series Port Royale series Offworld Trading Company The Guild series TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator Evil Bank Manager Merchant of the Skies >Has trading element but not the key point Anno Series (and any other RTS or City Building game that has little trading element) Starsector or maybe you have a game to recommend
>>1080909 it's hard to get into, but my brother loved that game back in the day.
>>1080891 Love the Guild 2. I sort of see it as the quintessential merchant game even though it's barely functional and creaking under the weight of its own ambition. But I've been playing Sailwind a lot recently but it's more about sea navigation. The merchant work is just an excuse to get you out to sea.
>>1082589 Love Patrician 3. Played a game of this and then continued as Lubeck in EU4. Turned the Hanseatic League global making all the key choke points for trade into members of the league. Didn't get as far as Japan but didn't need to - almost every coin on the planet ended up in Lubeck with other global powers unable to pay for their armies.

Age of Decadence You can beat the game with no combat encounters.
Merchant of the Six Kingdoms is a good indie sales game, you're a traveling merchant and you just barter for EVERYTHING with every region and person having differences to how you approach them. There's a card game you can play too. A guy from 4/v/ dev'd it and he seemed cool in the NextFest thread he was posting in a couple years ago.

Any of the "Space Trucker" simulators
Ten Thousand Coins is like not too bad played a bit of the demo but it might be worth keeping an eye on it.

Does spongebob lights camera pants count?
>>1226990 That game actually looks really cool, I think I'll check it out later tonight.
>>1328224 The aesthetic reminds me of a 90s adventure game akin to Myst.
>>1233743 i love space trucking so much
>>1080919 That wasn't really him, was it?
>>1328096 >the spammer What even is his deal? He insta deletes all his coomshit anyway.

>>1336655 Whos to say...
It's pretty simple but very enjoyable. It doesn't have a western release so you will have to get a patch. >>1082662 Damn, I was about to post this one
I want it on GOG and im tired of pretending that im not
