It is cheaper than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Endless Sky (free, scores 83) outscores it, and so does Plebby Quest: The Crusades ($19.99, scores 46). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
16bit Trader is a mobile, medieval, strategy, management trading game, where you try to become the richest trader in the entire land. The point of the game is to buy cheap items in one location and sell it for a higher price in a different location. Sounds easy right?! Well it isn't! Whenever I buy items the price for that item immediately drops in all the cities I visit. As soon as I sell it, it goes up. You can do...
I really wanted to like this game. I enjoy management games and I liked the concept; the layout of the map and the art is nice enough for a cheap game. But the mechanics of this game are terrible to the point of it being nearly unplayable. Diamonds are basically the only consistent way to make money, and even they're borked because more than half the time you travel all the way to a mine only to find it empty...
