Experience Fantasy Trader, a passion project crafted over three years by a dedicated indie developer. The game is still in production, so the final product may feature a different UI layout, graphics, and game elements than those currently shown in screenshots.
Guide your trading post to riches and fame in a dynamic fantasy world. Build relationships with visiting heroes and address their unique needs and challenges. Defend what’s yours from monsters, thieves, and tax collectors.
As the owner of a trading post, you can pursue many paths toward wealth, fame, bankruptcy, or even death:
Develop and leverage 17 different skills, including trade connections, negotiation, leadership, architectural vision, and more. Construct and upgrade over 30 distinct structures to expand your post.
Forge your own trading style by sourcing over 300 types of goods from local markets and stocking them in your stores. Capitalize on price fluctuations and a dynamic event system that impacts prices through factors like new taxes, guild and royal politics, wars, and monster invasions.
Engage in negotiations with visitors and clients. Want to keep a customer’s interest? Offer them a job? Or perhaps you’d rather share a drink, play a game of dice, or simply chat?
Are the local markets lacking interesting goods, or are prices just too high? Try crafting your own products from semi-finished goods—or take your chances on the black market.
Consider hiring mercenaries: save on wages by making vague promises, or build a loyal, well-paid team of soldiers. You could even consider overthrowing the king—after all, who enjoys paying taxes? But be prepared for the consequences…
Will you be an honest merchant or a profit-at-all-costs dealer? Earn a reputation as a trustworthy trader or become known for shady, underhanded dealings. Build the most beautiful trading post in the kingdom, or a fortified fortress adorned with war trophies to deter intruders.
Immerse yourself in the world of Fantasy Trader and discover your path.
