ARMS DEALER: Playtest Signups Are Open

PLAYTEST SIGNUPS ARE OPEN

War is business. Business is booming.

Dark Product and Koro Pixel Studio are opening playtest signups for ARMS DEALER, our upcoming strategy trading simulation about building a global black market empire out of nothing but debt and ambition.

Signups are open now and spots are limited, so grab one while you can.

SIGN UP FOR THE PLAYTEST HERE:  

We also just dropped a new Playtest Trailer, your first look at ARMS DEALER's weapons trading in motion.

WHAT KIND OF DEALER ARE YOU?

Every dealer has a style. Are you the Opportunist, striking fast on market chaos and getting out before anyone notices? The Financier, playing the long game and letting debt work in your favor? Or the one chasing the biggest deal on the board?

The only way to find out is to play.

In ARMS DEALER you are not commanding armies or fighting battles. You are operating behind the scenes, buying and selling to those who do. Starting with little more than debt and ambition, you will deal with loan sharks, manage fluctuating prices, dodge law enforcement, and try not to get murdered.

Every decision has consequences. Market swings create opportunities and disasters. Corrupt officials want payment. Gangs want a cut. Loan sharks want repayment. One bad deal can bring the whole empire down.

FEATURES

• Deep Black Market Economy: buy low, sell high, and exploit global instability for profit

• Scale Your Operation: grow from individual deals to container level international shipments

• Dynamic Events and Crises: sudden attacks and unexpected opportunities can flip your fortunes overnight

• Weapons Progression System: unlock and trade increasingly sophisticated equipment, extra days, financing options, and access to capital

• Armored Vehicle Packs: expand into military vehicles, heavy equipment, and specialized logistics networks

• Advanced Weapons Programs: gain access to biological, chemical, nuclear, and other high risk technologies as your influence expands

• Criminal Underworld Simulation: negotiate with gangs, militias, corrupt authorities, financiers, smugglers, and black market brokers

• Loan Sharks and Debt Management: borrow aggressively to grow fast, then survive long enough to pay it back

• Permadeath Campaigns: one catastrophic mistake can end everything

• Strategic Risk Management: balance profit, exposure, reputation, and survival in a world that keeps shifting under you

There are no heroes.

There are no good outcomes.

There are only margins.

Sign up here:

ARMS DEALER is coming soon to PC via Steam. Wishlist now and start preparing to profit from conflict.
