Looks Interesting

Looks good and sounds nice. But I've had this app awhile yet it won't load. Needs an update. It keeps saying restart. Please fix


Great game that needs to come back

This game is amazing, and yet its simplicity gives you a relaxing, laid back experience. I used to play this game all the time back on the iphone 3 and was happy to see that the devs haven’t taken it off of the app store. Once again the game is great and I love waking up in the morning to check if my settlements have been raided and to gather my products for the market. The game does however need some attention from the devs who haven’t been keeping up with it. Primarily, the system of traveling to the actual locations of your settlements can be annoying at times unless it is a location you visit frequently; a sort of messenger unit should be available to access settlements from afar. Additionally, the profile pics are a little derpy, especially for the male players :) All in all a great game I will continue playing, and hoping that the devs give it a little love.


Great game update please!!

Love the game but it needs some fresh content! Iv been playing for over a year, love it but it needs content updates and some bug fixes. I was attacked and made a vassal to duke priaa songstride and i have taken my city back several times but it wont remove my vassal status!! Its very infuriating!!! Also it seams impossible to find another biome.... I have to travel pretty far to find one... I have 20 settlements around my town and they all are in the same biome grrr


This game rules.

Unlike other location based games you actually have to move! Well balanced, engrossing, strategic, non predatory pricing, and even better than merchant kingdom. Play it!


Great game, but few players

This game is excellent and deserves more support both from players and the developer.


Very Cool!!

I've always been a strong advocate for these games! I think the game play is greatly improved from Merchant Kingdom and there's some really cool new game concepts and features. It makes the game seem more realistic and it's more fun than ever before! I've always been extremely confused as to why these games never got more popular, it's such a cool concept of being able to build a kingdom based on real world location!


Awesome! Lots of fun!

Major improvements from the previous version. Really fun to play a game based on real world location. Economic elements come into play as well. Download it and start playing!


A Good Game but not for everyone
pkwong69

This is a good game and I have enjoyed it since Merchant Kingdom came out over 4 years ago. However as this game requires patience, a habit of frequenting the same place/location regularly and some basic strategy, it will not appeal to those who have short attention spans and has the need for instant gratification. However I do have one beef with Merchant. I have spent hundreds of hours and countless miles in building my Merchant Kingdom, which is now idle as there is nothing going on there. My buildings don’t produce any resources… it just stopped working. I am now building from scratch on Merchant and I hope that there will be a transfer function or at least a small reward for my continued support at Merchant Kingdom. Anyways, I hope that Merchant the Game will fare better support wise.


GPS Inaccuracy
Devildude555

The inaccuracy of the GPS while playing is annoying. I'm now having to pay for corruption for not being able to visit a settlement at a place I go everyday. My GPS is fine for everything else. I've always got 3+ bars of LTE it's never accurate.


A great followup to my favorite ios game
Robogles

I loved the original. Played it a lot and the whole claiming real world land to earn imaginary goods is so freaking cool. It's free so get it and stake your claim!
