In The Merchant’s Eden you build your own medieval settlement around a central marketplace and let it grow into a bustling trading town. This relaxing city-building game combines charming city-builder elements with tactical tower-defense mechanics and a minimalist atmosphere. Ideal for anyone who wants to live out the dream of building their own city with little free time.

Your new settlement will soon attract merchants from near and far, bringing not only their goods but also coveted coins. But beware: a flourishing settlement with thriving trade will attract envy! It’s up to you to protect your citizens and merchants. Build walls, rally your soldiers and defend yourself with everything you’ve got. Only enough coins and the right decisions can you ensure the growth of your city.

Can you build a thriving city that attracts merchants from all over the world and becomes a true trading paradise?

Build a city according to your vision

Step by step, your settlement grows and attracts new citizens. Shape your city as you envision it: build houses for your growing population, inspire your citizens with parks, and display your wealth by constructing an impressive monument.

Defend your paradise

Make sure that both your citizens and merchants feel safe in your city. Build walls, gates, and towers to protect your city against waves of enemies. As your settlement grows, it will increasingly become a target for raids and the intensity of the attacks will increase. While you'll initially only be raided by simple thieves, soon bandits or giant berserkers will be at your gates. Always keep an eye on your defenses. If your citizens don't feel safe in their city, they will flee.

A world on your terms

Whether you prefer the challenge of a small town or the creative possibilities of a large city, play the game entirely according to your own vision. Thanks to procedural map generation and individual starting conditions, every game is a new challenge. Choose from different map sizes and biomes, or use a seed to share the experience of others. Discover rivers, dense forests, or wide plains and face a new world every time.
