Our Expert Score

76/100

States Builder: Trade Empire is a compelling mix of idle management and territorial expansion. The game starts small—tapping to gather resources—but quickly evolves into a logistics puzzle where you are managing trade routes between different states. The satisfaction comes from the visual growth of your empire, seeing small outposts turn into bustling trade hubs with roads and caravans flowing between them.

The UI is clean and the progression feels constant. It’s the kind of game that’s perfect for checking in on throughout the day. While it starts as a simple clicker, the 'Trade Empire' aspect adds a layer of strategy regarding which resources to prioritize and which states to unlock next to maximize your gold-per-second. It strikes a nice balance between active play and passive income.

◾ GET LOGGING: It all starts with wood – you cut trees to sell at market, then soon you’ll be able to afford a logging mill and a board factory. As you progress through the game, you’ll open up all sorts of other resources that can be processed in a variety of different ways.

◾ FEED THE CHAIN: Processed resources take longer to produce, but also make you more money. Use strategy to work out the best way to maximize your profits in the game by building varied supply chains, then watch the coins come pouring in.

◾ IMMEDIATE RETURNS: Spend profit on upgrading facilities on the map to increase your income in your current level. Each mine and processing facility has six levels, each of which increases productivity and profit. Adapt your strategy to make profits as fast as possible and move on to the next level of the game.

◾ INVEST IN THE FUTURE: You can also buy upgrades for resource production speed and greater profit. Upgrades apply to all facilities producing one type of material, and also carry across levels in the game, so you get to keep the benefits.

◾ RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: Divert resources to equip and launch exploration balloons that will scout out new lands. Each time a balloon is launched in the game, you get coin and crystal bonuses.

◾ DISCOVER NEW LANDS: Once you’ve opened every hex in an area, you’ll need to save up coins to unlock the next area. Who knows what resources you’ll find when you discover new lands?

◾ WE HAVE LIFT OFF: When you’ve unlocked every hex on a continent, you’ll find a rocket. Fuel it up with resources to complete the level, then blast off to a new virgin continent with new resources to mine and craft, and start building all over again.
