Merchant of the Skies

In Merchant of the Skies you captain a flying ship, starting with a single small cloudship and working toward a trade company of your own. It mixes trading with light base-building and tycoon elements, leaning on exploration and a few minor RPG touches rather than settling into one tidy genre.

The core loop is finding the best trade routes and profiting from them while traveling between flying isles and meeting assorted encounters. As you gain experience you grow savvier as a trader, start your own goods production, and set up automated routes that move and sell cargo without your direct involvement.

A campaign of roughly six to eight hours asks you to help different characters and restore the world to its former glory, while a sandbox mode drops the plot so you can build your company at your own pace. Riches can be poured into a personal mansion assembled from more than 200 building blocks.
