Test Chamber – Offworld Trading Company
Mohawk Games' fast-paced real-time strategy title Offworld Trading Company is currently in early access on Steam, shooting for an official launch sometime next year. We couldn't wait that long, so we've taken a quick dive into the economic RTS to see what it's like playing Wall Street on Mars!
Players scramble to collect, sell, and refine materials as they move toward the end goal of buying out the opposition, battling for choice resource nodes and messing with each other via pirates, EMP, and bidding wars. While you won't be creating units and laying siege like many other titles in the genre, there's definitely plenty of conflict as players jockey for power and position in this giant offworld auction.
Join Daniel Tack and Jeff Cork as they survey the surface of Mars for opportunity in this episode of Test Chamber!
