About

Command your ship and crew as a space pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more in Star Traders: Frontiers – an epic space RPG from Trese Brothers Games. Venture forth into a massive open universe, rich with adventure and the lore of the Star Traders. Choose your path by assembling and commanding your custom crew and spaceship in a constantly evolving galaxy torn by internal strife, political intrigue, and alien threats. Will you fly as a pirate terrorizing shipping lanes, join the solar wars as a military captain, or track targets across the stars as a fearsome bounty hunter?


  • Explore a rich, open universe: Discover endless procedurally-generated galactic maps, meet unique characters, and take on enemies to conquer the galaxy!
  • Become an intergalactic captain: Take on the role of a spy, smuggler, explorer, pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, and more (21 jobs total)!
  • Customize your own spaceship: Choose from more than 300 upgrades and build your very own vessel to venture across the vast reaches of space.
  • Assemble and tailor a loyal crew: Assign talents and equip specialized gear for every spaceship crew member.
  • Experience an ever-changing narrative: Decide to make friends or foes with other factions and influence political, economic, and personal vendettas.


First there was the Exodus – when survivors of a great war left the ruins of the Galactic Core behind in search of a new home in the stars. Scattered worlds were claimed on the fringe of the galaxy. Each pocket of survivors held on to an isolated set of worlds while trying to rebuild under the great law of Shalun. Three centuries later, technology has brought them back together again. Discovery of the hyperwarp has bridged what was once an unimaginable distance between far-flung colonies, long-lost families, and political factions.

With that reunification has come great economic prosperity. The hyperwarp reestablished the transportation of cargo, goods, and technologies between the quadrants – but it has also brought great strife. Political rivalries have been rekindled, blood has been shed in age-old feuds, and the fires of war have been stoked. Amidst the political infighting, a ruthless revolution is rising – and the fervent explorers of the hyperwarp have awoken something that was better left asleep.


Our very first game, Star Traders RPG, took hundreds of thousands of gamers on an interstellar adventure. Star Traders’ success and overwhelmingly positive reception helped to launch Trese Brothers Games. It was the adventures of our community’s star-crossed captains that put us on a trajectory to share more of our worlds, ideas, and dreams.

We set out to capture the loneliness, bravery, and camaraderie of people living together in a spaceship sailing across the stars. It is with great pride that after releasing four other games in the Star Traders universe, we’ve created a sequel to the original Star Traders RPG.

Step onto the bridge of your starship, take to the stars, and create your own story in Star Traders: Frontiers.

Star Traders: Frontiers reviews and comments

The depth to this game is incredible, to the point that it can feel overwhelming. If you're a big fan of micro-management and space sims, you will absolutely enjoy this. Even if you're not, you'll find something here you can get into. There's ship to ship combat. Crew to crew combat. Exploration. Contacts...ship upgrades, crew upgrades. It's wild. Add to that huge proc-gen galaxies...you have an enormous of amount of time you could sink into this title.

If you too – be disappointed or horrified by Star Wars Episode 8-The Last Jedi, because instead of being into distant Worlds, he has whisked us away to a Benny Hill Parody mixed with "Your Mudda" jokes and Marry Poppin's children's fantasy, your Star Traders: Frontiers should definitely be a Give Chance. The Game, a Mix of extensive Science Fiction role-playing, Space adventures and turn-based space and Ground battles Boasts a vast, vibrant and dynamic universe, countless interesting Characters and ludicrous many Stories, Quests and Storylines. It is almost advisable to skim the short but interesting 34-Page Storybook In order to become familiar with the Backstory. And, of course, what the so-called "Star Traders," that is, a Person like the Player, is all about. The Spacecraft enjoy a special and respected Special Status in the Universe, similar to the Navigators in the Classic "Dune-The Desert Planet." The Aristocratic Houses or Syndicates – the Former are quite appropriate Comparisons to the houses from the HBO Television Series "Game of Thrones"-are happy to use the Star Traders to advance their own Interests. The Game world is so extensive that new Players may feel lost or even slain, especially in the event of all the Possibilities. Tranquility is appropriate ... Rome was not built in one Day! Initially just do what seems interesting to you and don't charge you too many Tasks at the same time. Your Life Span is dramatically increased by the many Space-time Jumps anyway (see Lorebook). Well, what else should I write. There's just too much to say. You can even name your initially manageable Crew of "only" 30 Men themselves, assign tasks, satten them with Weapons and even dress them up. The initial Settings are also significant. With the character kit you are allowed to customize your Person, with your own Backstory, professional Background and Motivation. After that, the gigantic Sandbox is at your Disposal at will. Do what you want. Smuggler, Pirate, Mediator, Mercenary. Does one on Jean-Luc Picard, or James T. Kirk. A thick Hint of "Farscape Loves in Space" and "Firefly The Awakening of the Serenty" is always included alongside a Shot "Dune-The Desert Planet" and "Valerian." Given the ridiculously low Price called for this Class Title, Star Traders: Frontiers is considered for me To be an absolute Must-Have for anyone Interested in science fiction. Sun... I'll spare you more a Babble now. The Shopping Cart button is not far away. You know what to do ...! P.S.: Am also on the road at Steam as a Curator and I am happy about every Follower: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/2370797-7IDGaming.de/?appid=275290

A real Gem with a lot of Depth and Replay value. On top of that, lap Based, I really like it. But You should read something, especially visit the wiki page.

If u love space RPGs w/ deep strategy and tons of options this is something for u! I’m looking foreward to the devs adding more to the game, like they do w/ their other games. Love this company!

Only 4 Stars for the fact that some unlockables even if unlocked do not unlock, the assets that are in the exploration of the market you can always sell and only at the lowest price. These are the only flaws I have found in the game which for the rest is beautiful.

Best thing about the game. Is that it is a REAL game. Not like all that other mobile tresh(98% of games on appstore) where you have to click on collection coins and stuff and with wait times of 12 hours for upgrades. This is an actually (pc game) for the phone. It is a very enjoyable space rpg game which is very nice for the casual gamer after work and for some me-lazy-time.

Yes! It's finally released for mobile! I've put many many hours into Star traders Frontiers on Steam and now I'm able to bring it with me wherever I go! This must be one of the deepest and most elaborate games on iOS - and at a fraction of what I would be willing to pay for it! If I were to compare it with something else I would say that it foremost does its own unique thing with a flavor of Firefly and a pinch of The darkest dungeon. It's truly amazing and I highly recommend it!

The game itself is absolutely bonkers great, deep, it feels actually crafted and the devs, who I supported since the very beginning make you wish for more quality paid games in the AppStore. The only problem is that the game is weirdly not adapted for iPhone XR/XS screens (so there are some big black bars at the left and right edge of the screen) and the icons and text are way too small to the point of uselessness , I hope these issues will be arreases soon, which knowing the developers, they will. In short, an instant classic for everyone looking for a unique experience in mobile
