Star Merchant

Star Merchant is a galactic trading simulation where you buy and sell goods, upgrade your ship and set your own goal as a space entrepreneur. You choose how long a game lasts and begin with one of four starting ships, each with different advantages. Your aim is to make your mark without going broke.

Trade across a changing universe

The items and universe are randomly generated for each game, and demand for goods on different planets can change as you play. You can pick up passengers, negotiate with rogue traders for potential profits, and invest in stocks from different companies and funds. You can also keep money in your bank account.

Upgrade your ship

You can buy new ships and equip hundreds of weapons. Ship upgrades include better weapons, more cargo room, more passenger room and a bigger gas tank.

Fight space pirates

You encounter four different space pirate clans and can use a variety of strategies against them. You can use a newly purchased weapon, sacrifice ships to deal more damage, or unleash a Suicide Volley to maximize damage at the cost of hull strength.

Other encounters

The game includes stops at the Galactic Casino, bonuses and other surprises.
