Compare Death Trader: Cold War prices across trusted key stores and find the best deal. Developed by Dreambakers. Released on 10/19/2018. Available on PC. Genres: Indie, Strategy.

A Cold War-era strategy game about arms dealing that bites off more than it can chew mechanically.

Death Trader: Cold War tasks you with navigating the murky world of weapons trafficking during the Cold War era. The premise is solid - managing supply chains, dodging authorities, and balancing profit against risk should make for tense, systems-driven gameplay. Instead, the execution feels rough. The UI is clunky, tutorials are sparse, and the strategy layer doesn't have enough depth to sustain the 6-10 hour runtime. Resource management exists but lacks the feedback loops that make trading sims compelling. It's not broken, just underbaked - a game that needed another year of iteration before release. Skip this unless you're specifically hunting for obscure indie strategy titles and have low tolerance for jank. Mainstream strategy fans will find better options elsewhere. Alex, Scout Team

GamerScout Verdict

Ambitious premise hobbled by rough execution; for hardcore indie strategy hunters only.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.

Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.

We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.
