User Reviews

Overall, Merchant: Guilds is praised for its nostalgic Merchant vibe, depth, and social guild features, with players enjoying the progression and customization. However, repeated complaints focus on the tedious, high-click UI and grindy farming loops, which can make play sessions feel repetitive and exhausting. The guild system is a mixed bag: it enables social play but can gate progress for solo or new players, and some fear the design leans too heavily on guild mechanics. The experience is positive for fans who enjoy deliberate planning and collaboration, with caveats about pacing and UI.

Pros

Fun and engaging gameplay that many players enjoyed across reviews.
Nostalgia and a familiar Merchant feel with depth and progression.
Depth, customization, and meaningful progression (gear crafting, resource gathering, hero management).
Social and guild features enabling cooperative play and guild-based goals.

Cons

Excessive clicking and a tedious UI/UX with repetitive, single-step actions.
Grindy progression and repetitive farming/crafting that can feel exhausting.
Guild-dependent progression and gating that can frustrate solo or new players.

Recent reviews

Had fun the first day. Couldn’t continue the MAIN quest because I completed the dailies before I got to that point. /yawn seriously stupid coding. It should have seen the dailies completed and auto completed. Today I log on after reset and now my dailies are things I couldn’t complete for weeks. If you cannot get something so simple as having a cap on dailies to ensure new players get proper lvl quests, then you clearly do not care about new players sticking around. I can’t be part of something like that.

I love all of the Merchant games and really wanted to like this game as well, but your progress being tied to a guild is maddening. These games are fantastic solo experiences, so I’m not sure why the decision was made to incorporate the guild mechanic so heavily but it’s killed the game for me. I suspect if I wait it out long enough I can probably join a guild later on that has fully unlocked everything, but still not a fan of the overall design.
