Space Merchant

This looks like a mobile game and worse the hand holding introduction is broken soft locking the game. So i would strongly not recommend this game.

feels like a mobile game

So far it appears your crew can't be injured, which I like, Your ship will take the damage instead. I like the game.

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).

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.

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.

its not bad but it iS a long grinder with quite a bit of time wasted awaiting more quests. not even close to as fluent in gameplay as the original. the concept is there and aside from the fact that fuelling the ships requires credits, as the resources are scarce enough to never be enough, and credits missions being bloody rare and barely enough to cover the fuel cost, i would say this is an ok game. if you can hang around long enough after the squeeze of scraping by at the start, enough to put many players off (other devs tease you in, these clearly decided to squeeze players out instead....odd choice), this develops into a fine time sink. unfortunately for me, nothing was explained right from the tutorial and my builds were wasted so have to start again, and THAT is not nearly as fun an introduction (as already mentioned) to this game as these devs seem to think. once you get your head around the build mechanics and what builds to put where and just how long and grindy getting them is, switch to slot 2 and start again, otherwise you unlock to much during research and quests dry up. early quest rewards really need tweaking to give creds as well as research points or the tutorial needs NOT waste 6k coins on a ship captain you dont actually need yet. don't know anything about the DLC as it all looks way over-priced for 2 decade old graphics games. i may be an a-hole but im not gaping or rocking so few brain cells its a 'yes' but only by the skin of it's teeth
