Mediocre mobile port, lacks any real substance or point. Has no plot beyond generating credits.
What they should say warn you about is the lack of any ship upgrades without buying the relevant dlc pack in the steam store. There's no warning about this at all, until you're able to finally research it, but before you're allowed to do so, the button that would normally start the research timer pops up a notice telling you to buy it and two other ships in a pack in the store
Игра Space Merchant – это увлекательный экономический симулятор с элементами стратегии, где вам предстоит стать космическим торговцем. Игровой процесс затягивает своей неспешностью и глубиной. Нужно умело балансировать между закупкой товаров по выгодной цене, поиском оптимальных маршрутов и защитой своих кораблей от пиратов. Визуально игра может показаться устаревшей, но продуманный геймплей и широкие возможности для развития собственного торгового флота с лихвой это компенсируют. Разнообразие товаров, планет и фракций добавляет реиграбельности, а фактор случайности в виде неожиданных событий и меняющихся цен держит в напряжении. Не стоит ждать от игры динамичных сражений или захватывающего сюжета. Ее прелесть в другом – в возможности построить собственную торговую империю, просчитывая каждый шаг и принимая взвешенные решения. Если вам нравятся экономические стратегии и вы готовы потратить время на освоение всех тонкостей, то Space Merchant определенно стоит вашего внимания. Игра не для всех, но тех, кто проникнется – не оторваться.

There are several parts to this game that are missing. It is not done yet, so after fill the tech tree you just spin around doing trips and gather useless stuff. A spaceport can not be build and there is no replace for the staff you can hire after the start. So if there are no gunners there never will be. Until you reset the game of course. Again it looks like there is slot more to this game , but there isn't. It may in fact be coded in the game but if the user can access it there it is not there. Save you money on the DCL the colors are barely noticeable .
I 'bought in' as an Early Supporter on Android. This was before any mention of Steam. The user CAN use the in-built cloud sync to utilize the same savegame on both Android and Steam; however if you, like me, have access to all the Early Supporter stuff in Android (ALL the DLC's in Steam), it does not appear to transfer when using the Cloud Sync. I am constantly hounded to 'buy' the DLC's in Steam, even though I already have access to it on Android. Once this is officially handled by the Dev's, I'll make this a thumbs up, regardless of which way they go with it. How can the Dev's handle it: Make an official announcement either way if this is a bug (Entitlements should only be purchased once) or working as intended (cash-grab).
Видеообзор https://youtu.be/QTWlfBMrvqQ И так игра с более ли менее нормальной графикой и возможностью на сколько я понял игры на андроид платформах, в игре есть и исследование технологий, исследование планет выполнение миссий, открытие новых звездных систем, оборудовать можно свои корабли дополнительными модулями для исследования к примеру или другими которые вам будут необходимы, есть даже стройка база, станции в космосе правда это уже платное дополнение а так базовая игра бесплатна так что можете установить не пожалеете любителям просто поиграть без лишних заморочек вполне сойдет, да в игре нет русского языка но в принципе все интуитивно понятно.
Habe das Spiel extra nicht auf dem Handy gespielt, um es später am Pc spielen zu können. Die Wartezeit hätte ich mir auch sparen können. Unnötig kompliziert und verwirrend und trotzdem macht man im Endeffekt durchgehend das gleiche. Bei Merchant RPG hatte ich wenigstens noch etwas ansporn was zu farmen, aber hier fühlt es sich einfach sinnlos an.
engaging missions and building, not slow paced.
The odds are there that you'll run out of credits and potentially hardlock yourself into starting over. How so? The missions that pay out credits almost exclusively seem to require a ship with the ability to fight. However, the Targeting System research doesn't unlock until you research the Comms Array or whatever research. On top of that, locked research doesn't tell you what you need to research to unlock said locked research. Also, expect to WAIT for literally everything. Need to buy something? Wait for it to be delivered to you. Need credits fast and want to sell something? Wait for it to be sold. Need to fabricate more fuel? Wait for it. Need more room for crew members? Wait for it to be built. Want to research something? Wait for it. Literally everything demands that you WAIT before being able to do something. Pretty damn obvious that this is a mobile port when you can scroll menus by clicking and dragging the mouse around. Surprisingly very little meat for gameplay here though. Send your ships on missions, wait for them to arrive, collect rewards, and wait for ships to return to base. I got bored, slapped the game with Cheat Engine "for the lulz", and am now at the phase of "zero interest". Playing legit, you might get a few hours out of this one.
