Space Merchants: Conquerors

Space Merchants is a 3D space exploration, trading role playing action game (now THATS a mouthfull). You start out with a weak ship and go from port to port buying goods and selling them, accepting and completing quests, or doing whatever you feel like doing. you obviously can upgrade your ship, and even update your character, as the game has rpg style experience (not much of a surprise considering it is an rpg too, it has an rpg style inventory, quests and more.) The combat is intense, and consits of you dodging laser fire while blasting away at the enemies, who hopefully aret too many levels higher than your own. If you kill them you can loot their remains. The sound effects are very good, except for the lazer shot sound, that one is rather annoying. The graphics are amazing! With very well done 3D models, very good texturing and even some great effects like the sun glare. This game is supposed to have multiplayer at some point in development. While the single player portion is fun, the multiplayer will give it an mmo feel which will make it even more amazing, so once that comes out, I dont expect to spend much time on other games!.

Note: Be sure to visit the website and get the patches after downloading the game.

Pros:

Freedom to do what you want
Amazing graphics
Nice blend of space sim and RPG
Feels very professional

Cons:

No multiplayer (yet)
The docked screen in ports is not as impressive as most other games of this type
