STAR TRADER is a side-scrolling shooting game released in 1989 by Nihon Falcom in Japan.
The unique feature of this game is its incorporation of adventure game elements. While it is primarily a shooting game, the story unfolds differently based on the player's choices. As a result, even after completing the game once, players can enjoy different story developments by making different choices in subsequent playthroughs. Nihon Falcom's trademark dramatic storytelling will draw players into the game's world.
Additionally, the shooting part, which is the main feature of the game, is rich in highlights.As a "space trader" (Star Trader), players earn money to upgrade their ship and strategically change equipment according to the stages. The game offers a sense of immersion with battles against giant warships and some stages feature meticulously crafted scenes where the scroll direction reverses to the left.
*The main game and gallery screen (*Gallery) are in Japanese version.
*Other menu screens and "How to play" screens are in English.
