Build a black-market empire from debt to unimaginable wealth in this deep strategy trading simulation. Buy weapons, manage risk, evade authorities, and profit f
Arms Dealer released on Steam on 19 August 2026 from Koro Pixel Studio, published by Dark Product. It is a trading simulation about the international weapons market, and it is upfront that you never fire a shot — you supply the people who do.
Debt first, empire later
The framing is sharp. You begin owing money to people you should never owe money to, and the goal is ending with enough wealth that nobody can touch you.
Starting in debt rather than with capital changes the early game entirely — your first decisions are made under pressure, not from a position of choice. That is a stronger opening hook than most trading sims manage.
Markets, debt and law enforcement
The systems are stated plainly: track market fluctuations, manage debt, evade law enforcement, and make strategic choices climbing the ladder of the international arms trade.
Expansion runs through Weapons Packs, Transport Packs and Network Upgrades that increase reach and efficiency. So logistics and distribution matter alongside buying low and selling high — you are building an operation, not just running trades.
What it deliberately is not
Koro Pixel are explicit: you do not command armies and you do not fight battles. There is no combat here at all.
That is worth stating clearly, because the title invites the wrong expectation. This is a spreadsheet-and-decisions game about a grim industry, not an action title. The subject matter is treated as business simulation — how you feel about that framing is a fair thing to weigh before buying.
Built to be played slowly
The listing includes Steam Achievements, custom volume controls, Playable without Timed Input and a playable-at-your-own-pace designation.
No timed input on a market simulator is the right choice — decisions should be considered, not rushed. Family Sharing is enabled.
The build is Windows only. Localisation is broad for a small studio: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Finnish among others. Steam genre tags are Simulation and Strategy.
Under six dollars, no discount
Arms Dealer is on Steam at $5.99 with no launch discount, verified on 6 September 2026.
Six dollars for a trading sim with debt pressure, market simulation and an expansion layer is modest, and the debt-driven opening gives it more shape than the genre usually offers. Go in knowing it is menus and numbers rather than action — that is the design, not a shortfall.
Full details are on the official Steam store page.
