- Merchant of the Skies blends cozy tycoon fun with trading, base building, and management.
- The game offers 6-8 hours campaign, full sandbox mode, procedural world, 200+ blocks, various airships, and more.
AstralRide has announced the launch of the acclaimed cozy airship trading sim, Merchant of the Skies, now available on both Android and iOS for $7.99. Originally released on PC in 2020, this fan-favorite indie title opened pre-registration just last month.
Explore the skies as a sky captain and build your trading empire
So, Merchant of the Skies has finally landed on mobile, bringing its cozy tycoon fun with a blend of trading, base-building, and management. Here, you join as a sky captain, flying across beautiful skies while setting up automated trade routes to grow your trade empire.

At its core, you have to think like a trader rather than just a pilot. Like real life, you need to buy low, sell high, and gradually find the most profitable routes in the dynamic markets. But what stops it from being outright boring is how it balances this with exploration, letting you meet quirky characters and uncover secrets along the way.
You can buy islands, create passive income sources, build a mansion, and more
As you gradually get richer, the game becomes more fun. I mean, you can go on a spending spree and buy islands, build production chains, and also automate everything with caravans to earn passive income. And once it starts, you can focus on designing your dream mansion using over 200 blocks.
Overall, I feel this game is definitely worth trying, especially since it offers both 6-8 hours of campaign and a full sandbox mode, along with story-driven quests, cozy visuals, a variety of airships, a procedural world, unique encounters, and more. I do wish it was somewhat cheaper than the current price but the ad-free experience makes it worth it.
Merchant of the Skies is now available on both Android and iOS for $7.99. So, you can go ahead and download the game from your respective Google Play Store or App Store.
