Offworld Trading Company is a real-time strategy game in which money, not firepower, is the player's weapon. Players lead their developing companies in cutthroat economic warfare against other companies looking to become the dominant economic power on Mars. Loosely inspired by such classics as M.U.L.E., Offworld Trading Company forces players to make tough choices on what resources to acquire, what goods to build and sell, how to interact with the planet's thriving underworld, and when and what stocks to acquire. Players compete against up to seven other AI- or player-controlled companies. The game is won when one player ultimately acquires all the shares of their competitors, thereby wresting control of the entire planet’s economy. Read less

I'm jumping into my forgotten Epic Games library of freebies and was pulled towards Offworld Trading Company.

The cogs and levers tempted me but I don't have the capacity, or more accurately, the desire to invest the time to turn a profit.

I appreciate the tenacity and skill required to enact economic warfare but it's just not for my portfolio.

I agree with the folks saying this lacks variety. You'd think that with so few factions, they could at least make each one very distinct, but no.

This game looks good, has some unusual mechanics, but overall I just didn't manage to "get" it. The fact that the number of buildings you can construct/area you can take over is very limited makes this a game about making careful calculations and reading all the signs very important.

It didn't really pull me in and I kept losing missions.
