One-time purchase. No ads, no in-app purchases.
87% Very Positive on Steam: 1,426 reviews.

A world of floating islands drifts above the clouds. You are its merchant.

Chart your own course through a living sky, discover trade routes between 
island settlements, and build a trading empire at your own pace. No missions 
pushing you forward. No timers ticking down. Just the open sky, your airship, 
and endless possibility.

This is a cozy trading simulation where you set the rules.

What you will do:

- Master trading routes: find the most profitable paths, exploit dynamic markets, and compound your wealth across the islands
- Explore a procedural world: every playthrough reveals new secrets, quirky characters, and unique encounters at every island
- Build and automate: buy islands, set up production chains, deploy caravans for passive income while you explore
- Design your sky mansion: 200+ customizable blocks to build and showcase your skyborne headquarters
- Play fully offline: no internet required, no session limits, play anywhere at any time
- Enjoy a complete story: a rich campaign to restore the world, followed by unlimited sandbox mode with no endpoint
- Trade strategically: prices shift with supply and demand across a living market system
- Discover island stories: meet traders, outcasts, and wanderers scattered across the sky
- Build your legacy: grow from a single ship to a full merchant empire spanning the islands
- No interruptions: one-time purchase, yours forever, no pay-to-win mechanics

For fans of cozy trading simulations, tycoon builders, and sandbox strategy games.

## Merchant of the Skies Reviews in United States

### ***** "Good game - active and rapid dev support!"
Fun game. Just like PC version.
-- PixelPush3r, 2026-04-25

### ***** "Worth it"
Scratched my mount and blade economy itch. I have not experienced any bugs that others have mentioned.
-- Richiue, 2026-04-23

### ****- "Needs More Polish"
Very fun game, definitely something to spend a day on, but very short and a little unfocused.

Devs seem to be actively working on it. I would definitely say some features seem a little undercooked.

This game would benefit from a greater focus on the economy and trade systems, and scrapping some of the leveling systems. The knowledge system seemed kind of pointless. Lots of ship types with little difference except storage capacity. Didn’t see a point in buying the mid level ships since money is fairly simple to come by.

Really glad there are no microtransactions.

Tons of potential, just needs more depth.
-- Lukas Withakay, 2026-04-22

### ***** "Cozy fun"
I never played the PC version, but the mobile version is such an enjoyable experience. Sound and visuals are pleasant. Mechanics are tight. There’s an air of “I have no idea what I’m doing”, but it’s not a negative. It feels like you’re gifted a world to explore and trade in, figuring out your own way.

Cozy. That’s the best way to explain it.
-- EricSteep, 2026-04-21

### *---- "Unpolished, needs serious work"
There is basically no tutorial, and the UI is awful even in the beginning trying to figure out what to do. 60 minutes in and finally in a groove, pause to eat dinner, only to reopen the app and be back at the tutorial. All progress lost, apparently there’s no autosave. Do not recommend.
