Fans of Economic Real Time Strategy games can now download and play Offworld Trading Company, a new online game from Mohawk Games. In the game, players compete against each other to buy and sell resources on the surface of Mars, using skilled trading tactics and currency as their weapon. The game is now available on Steam at a discount of 39.95, or can be bought at the game’s official site.
Like most economic strategy Games, Offworld promises a lot of trading for resources, buying and selling of goods, and healthy competition among players for control of precious commodities to increase their cash supply. The game is set in the distant future, when Earth has been exhausted of all natural resources, and asteroids have been claimed by corporations.
Only on Mars can entrepreneurs and ambitious traders seek out their fortunes. The game’s free market allows players to buy and sell materials, including food and water, to help their colonists survive. They can also manipulate the market by utilizing hacker arrays, black market raids, and sneaky purchasing tactics. The ultimate goal is to get enough capital to access the titular off world markets so they can buy out the competition and claim the Martian economy.
