About Offworld Trading Company

Offworld Trading Company is a fast-paced economic RTS set on a freshly colonized Mars, where Earth's biggest corporations have been invited to build businesses that keep the fledgling colony running. Designed by Soren Johnson, lead designer on Civilization IV, the game trades bullets for balance sheets, making market forces your primary weapon rather than guns or bombs.

With easy resources on Earth running dry and space travel now a reality, fortune-seekers are flooding to the red planet, and it's up to you to earn your share. A dynamic single-player campaign lets you uncover the origins of Mars's major businesses through multiple CEO types, each offering hours of insight into their motives and their plans to dominate the colony's future. To win, you'll weigh which resources to gather, which goods to manufacture and sell, how to deal with the planet's underworld, and when to buy up stock.

Multiplayer supports up to eight players, and because the market shifts depending on which of the four starting corporations everyone picks and what resources accumulate, no two matches unfold the same way. It's an indie strategy simulation that rewards sharp economic thinking on PC, where controlling the market before your competition controls you is the whole game.
