Shop Titans Craft, sell, send heroes out

You are a new shop owner in a bustling adventurer city, and the floor plan is yours. Place racks, stalls and carpets to please customers, or fill the place with cat statues if that is the dream. You also pick your shopkeeper's hairstyle, clothes and accessories. Colorful visitors wander in to buy and sell, and if business goes well, even the king may stop by.

Your workers forge an ever-growing list of gear: swords, shields, boots, guns and more. The more you make of an item, the more powerful and valuable it becomes. You can also enchant gear with elemental and spirit effects, with over a million possible combinations. You stock the shelves yourself and haggle, selling to aspiring heroes at a markup.

When you need better crafting materials, you hire the gatherers. Recruit and customize heroes from 18 classes, equip them with gear you made, then send parties out to battle monsters and haul back loot. Unique champions with their own abilities and stories can join them. It is a neat loop: dungeon loot becomes shop stock, shop gold funds the next quest.

Your shop sits in a massively multiplayer world. Join a guild, invest together and build up a shared city, then compete in events like the Lost City of Gold where further progress brings bigger rewards. There is also a worldwide, player-driven market for racking up gold and gems. Good for slow evenings of restocking, pricing and checking what everyone else is selling.
