  • Offworld Trading Company ​V1.21 Brings Updated Language Support
    Offworld Trading Company v1.21 brings updated ​ language support for both base game and DLCs The best selling economic real-time strategy game now have updated translations in Simplified Chinese, Russian, German, and more. Plymouth, MI. – November 1, 2018 - Today, Stardock announced the release of v1.21 for ​ Offworld Trading Company, a game in which players take on the role of entrepreneur and travel ​ ​ ​ to Mars for an economic showdown against rival companies. The version update improves localization for several languages and adds some balance updates that enhance the gameplay experience. In Offworld Trading Company, players buy out the competition and take control of the Martian ​ ​ market in a strategy game where money, not military force, is their greatest weapon. The ​ real-time, player-driven market is the foundation of the game, allowing players to buy and sell resources and materials - even the food and water that the colonists need to survive. Players will also have to deal with some underhanded black market methods of sabotage, like pirate raiders, hackers trying to disrupt production, covert electromagnetic pulses, and more. The game supports online match play with up to 8 players, as well as single player campaigns, skirmishes, or daily challenges. For more serious players, ranked ladder games will give them the opportunity to earn ranks and prove their worth. The v1.21 update adds improved localization in both the base game and all of Offworld Trading ​ Company’s DLC for the following languages: ​ ● Simplified Chinese ● German ● French ● Spanish ● Korean ● Polish ● Russian ● Brazilian Portuguese Offworld Trading Company is $19.99 through Steam or Stardock.
