Offworld Trading Company

Offworld Trading Company is a real-time economic strategy game set on a colonized Mars. You build a company to support the growing colony and compete with rival corporations for control of the market, using economic forces rather than guns or bombs.

Campaign on Mars

In the dynamic single-player campaign, you determine the fate of the Martian colonization effort. Multiple CEO types have their own traits and abilities, and the campaign explores their motivations and plans for dominating Mars’s future.

Compete in the market

You choose which resources to acquire, what goods to produce and sell, how to deal with the planet’s underworld, and which stocks to buy and when. The real-time market is driven by players, with more than a dozen resources and an economy that changes as the game unfolds. The four starting corporations and the resources players accumulate affect market conditions, so each game offers different routes to victory.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer supports up to eight players. You can form alliances with rivals, but those arrangements can break when an opportunity to gain an advantage appears.

Jupiter’s Forge

The included Jupiter’s Forge expansion takes the competition to Io, Jupiter’s volcanic moon. Its resources deplete over time, and harsh life-support demands make it a tougher environment than Mars, requiring you to adapt faster than your opponents. The expansion adds its own campaign, several maps based on Io, two factions, patents and resources. It also includes the 1000 Map Challenge, where you compete for a place on the leaderboards.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack is composed by Christopher Tin. Its retro-futuristic score combines orchestral instruments, piano and synthesizers with electronic treatments, including pitch-dives.
