Space Merchant is an early-access idle RPG where you explore space and manage merchant operations. The game features resource management and offline progression, though players should be aware that saves may be reset during development updates. Best suited for genre enthusiasts with patience for active development and limited current content.

"Thank you for trying Space Merchant in Early Access! The game currently is in a demo state while we add new features. We may also reset saves with our updates."

is what you'll see upon first loading the game. Not sure why that's not at all reflected on the game page itself, but an idler with potential save deletions, nevermind one being viewed as a demo by its developer, has very niche appeal. While I'm glad it's mentioned SOMEWHERE, it's still wasting the time of a lot of us by not making the information more readily visible.

Add in that it's a clear mobile port by its phone-shaped window, and that the game is unstable enough that it crashed in the loading menu, and that most of the reviews to date are negative, and I'm finding it impossible to muster up the energy to try this "demo" for long enough to actually assess any potential merits. Maybe I'll give it a more fair go after the game leaves its Early Access stage- though I suppose it'd have to first properly enter that stage for us to be able to (without undue effort) recognize that it has left it.

Terrible mobile game with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mobile game mechanics. Looks like it is a setup for predatory microtransactions.

There's nothing exciting to this game, and you very quickly burn out of resources. It's very typical of wait to play mobile trash.

This game sucks ass!!! Gross looking port from mobile, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ UI! Small or even any content! and plus It says this is an early access in-game, if this is a early access PUT IT ON THE STORE PAGE!

And our saves can be deleted with every update, this is an IDLE game if my progress will be deleted every update why should I even play this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game!
