This game is part FPS, adventure game and a virtual stock market game. I was impressed by how each aspect of the game works within the core game, and while the game could be a bit more solid in graphics, audio, basically making it more esthetically pleasing. Addictive, very fun and innovative are the best words to describe the game and the bottom line is this is a welcome addition to any gamer’s library so buy this game and enjoy it, I know I did.
If you’re a hardcore shooter who enjoys a game with bleeding edge graphics and ruthless AI, then Space Trader is not for you. However, this game will appeal to Sci Fi fans, indie game lovers, and wannabe business tycoons.

A halfway decent trading sim marred by a marriage to its FPS trappings.
Ultimately, however, Space Trader is just too traditional to ever move beyond mediocre.
It's about time PC gamers got a good space trading game to play, but it looks like they'll need to keep waiting.
Weak riff on "Elite"'s trading with zero long-term appeal. [Mar 2009, p.75]

From the depths of Red Tape, a new breed of marketeer arises to challenge the authority and make a profit: the Space Trader is born! As a Trader, you will attempt to amass a fortune b...
