App Description

The year is 2510. Time of exploration and colonisation of new planets, bringing chance for new life for many people.

Humanity entered the second half of the millennium with hope to end long-lasting conflict between federal Army of Seven Stars and pirates of Black Flags fraction. In the last decades both sides suffered terrible losses in mutual fights and now the Black Flags members are scattered in the outer parts of the galaxy.

We will yet lose many lives, colonies and planets before the war will be over. Join the heroes of Army of Seven Stars and become a respected legend among your peers.

Space Merchants: Arena is an online multiplayer game where futuristic spaceships engage in intense dogfights or tactical play. After each battle you gain experience (to increase your skills and stats) and money (to buy and upgrade your ships and equipment). You can play against opponents on the same mobile platform as yours (Platform arena) or against players on all platforms (Global arena). Best players are shown in leaderboards and their glory persists to the end of days (obviously ;-)).

[Game modes]

1) Battle - Free for all, 2-8 players, kill and avoid to be killed.

2) Team Battle - Blue vs Red team, 1 vs 1 to 4 vs 4.
- Faarlands map - Teams gain points just for killing opponents.
- Tristar map - There is a central "mining" place where your team can gain a point for each 15 seconds you survive there.
- Jupiter map - Capture the Artefact mode, steal your opponents' artefact and deliver it to your base.

3) Training - Training arena, you vs AI player (bot). Experience and money gains are lower than in normal play against human opponents.

[Bonuses]
