[FREE][GAME] Heroes and Merchants - a free Fantasy Crafting MMOG

zodiac2k

Newbie
You like the good old browser games? We also! That's why we've developed Heroes and Merchants. It is a fantasy-crafting MMOG in the style of the old browser games with new interactive content.

Heroes and Merchants is a hobby project of me and my wife. Now we wish that it continues to fill with life and many players enjoying it!

"Heroes and Merchants" is completely free-to-play!
Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oliverbohnes.hm


What is the game content?
The game plays in a fantasy world, which was ravaged by rulers of dangerous monsters. The player can recruit heroes and do missions. For this he receives raw materials from which he can produce weapons and armor.


What additional game elements does HaM contain?
Players can team up in guilds, complete guild tasks, summon raid bosses and compete against other players in real-time duels. They can benefit from the guild shop and buffs.
There is the possibility to improve the craftsmen (influence the quality of the goods, selling price, production time).
Heroes have special abilities that can be selected, increased and actively played in duels.
There are also chat areas per language and guild.



What makes Heroes and Merchants special?

The special feature of HaM is in any case the optical design. Because unlike most of today's games here is not set to digital glossy graphics. All the graphics in the game are handdrawn, the music has also been composed especially for the game. Also, the gameplay is not based on one effect chasing the other - the game gives a touch of nostalgia after the old days of browser games.


We need you!
Since the game is free-to-play, and even just a hobby project, we do not have the financial resources, like big game companies, to use expensive advertising. The game is known only by you! If you like it, please download the game from the store, write a review and recommend it to your friends. Or just give us feedback here.

The long-awaited Adventure Update (V. 2.0.9) for iOS and Android is available now. Three dangerous new enemies await you in the narrow corridors of the dungeon and block your way to your prey and the safe exit.

Fights against:

  1. the horned demon who, in addition to his regular attack, has the special ability to make your skills ineffective.

  2. the centaur, who has bleeding damage in addition to his standard attack.

  3. the skeleton mage who, in addition to his regular attack, has the ability to slow you down.
A further 25 have now been added to the already existing 25 adventures. Only the strongest and bravest heroes can survive in these adventures!

The big adventure-event starts next weekend! Find the gold hidden in the dungeon and get additional special rewards!

In addition, a news function has been added to this update, which informs about the achievements and milestones of the players in the chat.

It is displayed when players:

  1. reach a new area

  2. reach a new duel rank

  3. reach difficulty level 5, 10, 15, ... in the adventure

  4. develop a particularly strong (blue) hero

  5. create an epic item of particularly high quality (over 3000 points) or a set item at the artisan.
The upcoming major update will introduce the tavern, where you can pick up special missions and play mini-games while the heroes are on missions.

Your ideas are very welcome.
