"Miracle Merchant" will be a new mobile game that is said to be a potion-brewing card game that is being created by the mobile game developer Arnold Rauers, also known as Tinytouchtales, and his team. The potions will be created using a set of cards that vary depending on the type of potion that is asked for. The game is going to be illustrated by artist Thomas Wellman.
"Miracle Merchant" developer Rauers is the mind behind the tactical rogue like game with a hook and shield combat known as "Enyo" as well as the solitaire-style Dungeon Crawler game called "Card Crawl," AppAdvice reported. Rauer and his team are also currently developing the Dungeon raid game dubbed as 'Card Thief.'
The "Miracle Merchant" is said to have a lot in common with "Card Crawl" which was reportedly done on purpose. This is because the game had its beginnings as an early prototype for "Card Thief," the next installment following "Card Crawl."
However, Rauers wanted to expand the prototype into an actual game even though it is expected to be a small-scope one. In partnership with Wellman, the finished game will have its own unique art style, Touch Arcade reported.
"Miracle Merchant" is a game where the objective is to brew potions that will be used by adventurers. These potions are made by mixing different ingredients using a deck of cards. The value of the cards also increases by combining cards that have various ingredient types.
In order to win, potions need to be created for 13 customers that all demand varying ingredients. The points will be scored from the type of potions that will be created. It should also be noted that the cards are to be randomly created for each game, so that there should always be a unique set for each game. The game is reportedly nearing its completion and will be released for iOS and Android phones soon.
