This bundle includes the following:
- Offworld Trading Company – Core Game
- Offworld Trading Company: Jupiter’s Forge Expansion Pack
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.
Features:
- Rekindle humanity’s adventurous spirit by leaving the tired Earth to find new fortunes in the untapped resources of Mars.
- Manipulate the market, employ corporate espionage, and patent technologies to drive your opponents out of business.
- No military – the real-time, player-driven market is your sword and your shield.
- Thirteen different resources and a market economy make no two paths to victory alike – no one resource is the “key” to Martian dominance.
- Dynamic single-player campaign responds to your actions and choices to determine the fate of the Martian colonization effort.
- Market-driven gameplay emphasizes mental savvy over manual dexterity and naturally supports exceptional free-for-all matches.
Jupiter’s Forge Expansion Pack
If you thought turning a profit on Mars was tough, just wait until you land on Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io. With resources that deplete over time creating fierce competition, you will have to adapt to the new environment faster than your opponents do in order to survive. Life support is so strenuous on Io that Mars will look like a paradise in comparison!
Two brand new factions have joined the corporate world on Io where the new resource system offers a steep learning curve. There are plenty of new sources for power, but some of humanity’s basic essentials – like water – don’t exist. In order to thrive on Io, you will need to steer yourself away from everything you thought you knew about Mars and re-order your building priorities to outshine your competitors.
If community competition is your thing, take the new 1000 Map Challenge. Earn your place on the leaderboards and see how many maps you can conquer before the harsh environments of space take their toll on you.
With a brand new campaign, locations, factions, patents, resources, and much more, Jupiter’s Forge is a must-have addition for your Offworld Trading Company experience.
