Epic Space Trader

Really fun little trading simulator, Numbers go up monkey brain happy. Very early access but looking forward to future patches.

I found the game to be challenging if you selected the discovery mode. Each new planet offer a variety of items which couldn't always be sold at every planet. I jumped around, and the credits went up and down. If you want it less challenging, just write it done. The image and sound effects were very enjoyable. Recommend checking it out, a nice game for casual play.

Fun space trading sim. Buy and sell good for max profit, upgrade your ship's range, explore the universe!! Fun to explore each location. Highly recommended!

It's one-dimensional and simplistic. Buy low, sell high and pray. While I'll probably only get 5-10 hours total out of it, the price was right and the nostalgia was real. I'd recommend it as a good office game as you can just walk away and come back to it as needed. Once you learn the prices and figure out the equation it loses a little bit of the magic but it's honestly great for what it is.

meh... I'll give it a 'pass'... it's early access, and somewhat incomplete. there's references to battles, missions, smuggling, and other features that are not implemented. it appears to not be under active development, so it appears to be unfinished and abandoned. cool idea, and with some more work, could be worth time, but as it is, no. it's too immature to spend time on, and appears to not be going anywhere.

If you ever played Space Trader for PalmOS in the early 2000s, or the later remake Dark Nova for android/ios in the late 2010s then this is finally the start of a game like it for current PCs (I know the original was ported to windows but its hard to find how to get it running and looks like it was only black and white anyway). Epic Space Trader does have a few bugs (it is early access after all) but I'm looking forward to its completion and hope to help with bug finding and feature recommendations.
