Wazzal

Wazzal is a space trading and exploration game from Instant Kingdom that puts the player in charge of a spacecraft and the familiar responsibilities of surviving in an unfriendly galaxy. You can travel between systems, trade goods, upgrade your ship and deal with the various opportunities and dangers that come with operating far from home. The game belongs to the long tradition of open-ended space adventures where the player decides whether to become a respectable trader, an explorer or someone who solves economic problems with rather excessive firepower. Its relatively straightforward presentation leaves plenty of room for experimentation. For fans of classic space sims and trading games, Wazzal offers an entertaining little universe where every successful cargo run feels like a personal triumph and every pirate encounter feels like an unexpected expense.

“Wazzal is a free single player space privateering game. Capture a ship to become an interplanetary pirate! Fly your ships in our solar system and accomplish missions while gathering a fleet of ships to fight bigger foes.” - Instant Kingdom

Review by Game Hippo:

“In Wazzal you start the game just having gained control of a beautiful new spaceship and are ready to start plundering the cosmos. There are 6 different ships, plus a few special ones, all modelled in beautiful 3D. They all have two weapons each and are different enough to foster a different playign style for each. In your search for one ZILLION credits (no, really), you meet a host of shady characters in the zany arcade solar system. Gameplay is amazing, smooth and action packed and you really want to play more.
Which is where Wazzal falls down, there isn't much more. The game is very short. It's also pretty easy once you get a full fleet of ships. The ending implies there might be a sequel though, so we can wait.“
