Interstellar Trader description
A strategy/simulation trading game where you become an outer space merchant
Interstellar Trader 2 is a fast playing economic strategy game that's perfect for breaks between the marathon gaming sessions of your favorite game.
The sequel to 2000's game of the same name, gameplay has been tweaked in response to the thousands of requests and ideas that came from the fans of the original.
Now Interstellar Trader 2 is everything you loved about the first game, and more. The basic concept remains the same. You're the owner of a start-up galactic merchant business.
Like any good merchant, you want to make money. Unfortunately standing in your way is a fickle marketplace, spacefaring pirates
(4 different kinds with different tendancies), and many random events.
In your quest to retire both rich and healthy you'll have plenty of choices to make. As you hop from planet to planet, buying and selling your goods, you'll be able to upgrade your vessel (or even purchase a brand new one).
Protect yourself from pirates with escort ships, buy contracts or toll booths, or visit prime ministers that will provide you with a respite from attack. You'll even get a chance to try your luck at the Galactic Casino on rare occasions.
Though rich in possibilities gameplay is quite easy to grasp-a simple system that isn't simplistic.
Games also play out relatively quick, making Interstellar Trader 2 one of the more deeper "coffee break" games you'll play. The "economy" of the game is randomized every game, so no two games ever play out the same!
