A Recently Unemployed Hero Escapes Financial Ruin through Trading in Touch Dimensions’ Wizards & Wagons
Launching today on the App Store for $4.99
SINGAPORE — Nov. 12, 2015 — What’s a hero to do after the Demon Lord has been defeated? Become a trader and travel the world peddling your wares, of course! Enter Wizards & Wagons, a new fantasy adventure by Touch Dimensions — the team behind the hit Autumn Dynasty.
Once a great hero — perhaps the greatest of them all — you are now broke, unemployed, and homeless. But one day, an entrepreneurial wizard gives you a wagon linked to an offer you can’t refuse: to take the wagon and work as a trader until you can earn enough gold to buy back your home. Armed with nothing but reliable transportation (and what little remains of your treasure), you set off on a new, unexpected adventure …
“Games usually focus on the hero fighting some generic evil being in order to save the world. No one ever talks about what happens to the hero after the quest is over,” says Jeffrey Jiang, co-founder of Touch Dimensions. “We answer that question in Wizards & Wagons through pure, unaltered gameplay. Want to rebuy your house? You’ll have to work for it. Buy low, sell high. Protect the merchandise. Network. There’s so much to do in Wizards & Wagons that it’s hard to believe the game takes place after the main quest!”
In Wizards & Wagons, you will travel the world trading supplies with local merchants. No two towns are alike; what one town has in surplus, another will have in deficit. Knowing where to find the best deals and where to sell are critical for maximizing profits. For example, just because a town is running low on iron one day does not mean the shortage will last forever.
Be prepared for anything: The roads are teeming with highway robbers, monsters, and even a giant world turtle (!). Equip your wagon with weapons and magic to defend yourself. And remember: Just because you can’t die from diseases, it doesn’t mean dragons can’t hurt you.
It’s important to manage your wagon’s limited inventory space wisely. A “Tetris-like” tile management system will help you find room for everything that matters. If you start running out of space altogether, you can upgrade your wagon to something bigger and better — with plenty of storage capacity for goods and weapons.
The world in Wizards & Wagons is brought to life with a robust calendar — complete with changing seasons and special events. Have your eye on a nice wagon upgrade? Need a way to earn extra gold? Join the Merchants Guild and take on quests for even more rewards! Sold some goods to the wrong merchant and missed a high-paying bounty? Cunningly exploit a town’s annual festival and make up for lost profits 🙂
Get that wagon in tip-top shape, choose your goods wisely, and get ready: The real adventure is about to start!
Key Features
- Buy and sell goods in a vast fantasy world.
- Cunningly exploit festivals for profit.
- Take on randomly-generated Assignments from the Commerce Guild.
- Manage your inventory space with a Tetris-like system.
- Constantly upgrade your wagon and equipment.
- Defend your precious cargo from the likes of thieves, ogres . . . and even a massive world-turtle!

To celebrate the launch, the prices for the studio’s two other iOS titles (Autumn Dynasty and Warlords) will be reduced to $4.99 during Wizards & Wagons first week on the App Store.
