About this game

Play this free RPG before you upgrade to Elite and enjoy hours of turn-based strategy for free! The Trese Brothers never run ads in our games -- enjoy an ad free, permission free experience!

Command your officers and crew from the bridge of your star ship to travel, trade, and battle across the immense Star Traders Quadrant. Employ a wide variety of strategies as an Assassin, Bounty Hunter, Trader, Pirate or Smuggler. Can you manage your resources, crew and officers well enough to turn a profit in the complex economy that’s sprawling across the on-going interstellar conflict?

This epic space pirate RPG offers a deep and challenging world and economy to Star Trading captains. You must navigate the waters of Quadrant politics and choose sides among the constantly conflicting Factions, or take the risk to stay independent. Enjoy endless replay value in this deep space civ and trading simulation which allows you to take any path you want as a captain. Act as a pirate against the merchants using the great shipping lanes, join the Solar War as a military captain, or hunt targets across the Quadrant as a fearsome bounty hunter!

Star Traders is a turn-based strategy role playing game (RPG) inspired by games such as Space Trader, Master of Orion, Elite and many other classic titles. If you enjoy retro games, adventure and tactics games, Action RPG or Sci-fi RPG with complex depth like Master of Orion, you may enjoy the Star Traders space trading simulation.

I rate this game 4 of 5 stars. It has been clearly developed over many hours into a smooth, carefully constructed work of art. The game's tutorial is short and to be honest, I uninstalled it the first time I played due to my perceived difficulty of learning the game. Returning some time after I have found that it is a captivating and open-concept space RPG. Lots of content locked behind Elite edition but still a fun game.

You know, I played this when I was younger and greatly enjoyed my time with it. Its amazing how every Mobile game has turned into a cash grab filled with Ads. Thank you guys for keeping this game up and running, and spending so much time with development. You guys did a great job, making a good game with lore and a story RPG. I wish I had my old phone with that account! I just re-download it to play when Im fighting my kids to sleep haha. [I even bought the game before on my old phone]

One of the best turn based strategy games I've played on my phone. Had it one iPhone and now my android, although I do prefer the android version. Would play this game for hours, love Ritch backstory. The help page is an exhaustive resource for how to roleplay. There are so many great roles, although if I had to criticize one it would be the smuggler, since although the given definition of a smuggler does fit, it would be better if you could transport illegal products to a black market which are legal in other markets. Rather than the permit method that's in place. I do enjoy the build your own ship feature, always fun to create a custom ship. However I would have hoped the bug that lets you build it for practically free, was fixed by now. But still is a pretty cool feature. I hope you guys continue to add subtle updates or even start a remake or another similar game. Thanks for the fun gaming times!
