The game's story aspect is characterized by a sandbox experience where players engage in trading, completing missions, and exploring various planets at their own pace. While there is no overarching narrative, the freedom to choose between missions and market activities allows for a personalized gameplay experience, with insightful mission descriptions enhancing player engagement. Overall, the game emphasizes strategic decision-making and wealth-building in a merchant simulation context.
“While grabbing the missions, the descriptions were very insightful.”
“The game has missions, but is also a little bit open world, so you can strategize what to do.”
“Also don't be fooled like me thinking 'story mode' is disabled in the demo but available in the full game.”
“Due to the 'sandbox' nature of the game, there isn't an overall mission (or at least I didn't find one), so it's up to the player to figure out how they want to spend their time.”
“The game has either missions or the market to play.”
