Spaceport Trading Company

Es ist ein gutes Spiel.Ich mag die Grafik :)

good potential, 1h gameplay so far, still not worth buying

Do you like "Star Traders Frontiers"? Do you like pixel games? How would you like to play a game that is essentially ST but in pixel format? That is what Spaceport Trading Company plays most similarly to at this time. It has 3 factions, its a trading game, and its in space! Now, Spaceport Trading Co definitely doesn't have as many nuanced aspects as ST while it remains in early access and there is (as far as I've seen) no combat. There are a couple (easy) areas of expansion I hope to see in the future: more ships and more galaxies (and therefore more planets). A bit more lore and differentiation about the factions to read somewhere. But, as one who enjoys trading games this is a nice, if simple, one to buy. Hopefully, after another year there will be all the improvements needed to flesh this out into a full-fledged game that stands entirely on its own merits. For now I am tentatively rating positively (I encountered no bugs).

This is an interesting idea for a game. Normally I play games where money is just used to help you get better gear/items to make the missions/story easier; its first time I've play a merchant simulating game. Due to the "sandbox" nature of the game there isn't an overall mission (or at least I didn't find one) so it's up to the player to figure out how they want to spend their time. I decided to take a specific route by seeing how far in the game I could get without actually doing trading. Playing with a theme of "just being an explorer" not a merchant, I was still able to acquire a decant amount of wealth (while sticking with the starting equipment) and still leveling up. In comparison this game reminds me of minecraft, how when I first started I thought the point was to build things/explore. It wasn't till later I learned that there was an actual "end". I think this game could and will do the same thing. That you can compete against your friends to see who has the most wealth/factories/ reputation score. That maybe certain planets are a sole export of something and once you find them it changes the game/market. Going back to overall game play I do like/appreciate how the game "clock" doesn't move while you are stationary. I think this would be great for players who are "watching the market". That this will give them time to plan and map out their moves to make the best use of their time. There also very useful settings already installed to help beginners, but more advanced players can easily change them to help match their game play.

I enjoyed this game more than I expected. It is primarily a trading game at this point although I can see places where it seems the developer(s) plan to add other ways to play the game. Regardless, currently you start with a small ship and travel from planet to planet buying and (hopefully) selling the goods for profit. You can also accept missions to deliver cargo, collect (or buy) items and take them somewhere, or scan a location. As you make money, you can buy larger faster, ships and make even more money. I am looking forward to seeing what enhancements, improvements and expansion comes in future versions.

A little slow to start. Maybe it is just me, but there is a lot thrown at you to start. You can customize your play, but aside from what is written, not sure how it impacts the game. I am deep into a run and enjoy it, even if there is a good amount of things you just need to trail and error about to make the real money. My tip would be use the search, once I found it the game smoothed out. I would say that 10-12 price is not bad for the time I have in the game, and I want to see what comes next.

Very cute game that is easy to get into! The style and the atmosphere are perfect if you want to get your mind off things and just do a little space trading instead. There's a small learning curve, but once you try a couple of missions and get familiar with the market system, it becomes pretty easy and straightforward to start building your wealth. Some features are not available at the moment so I'm looking forward to the future updates. Overall, I think it's a good purchase with a solid foundation and lot of potential to keep me coming back to this game.
