Trade Empires is a fine entertaining game. You will find yourself playing the missions for many hours and repeating them to use different strategies....Lush landscapes and beautiful architecture paint pleasing pictures of historical eras. - IGN
Trade Empires is one of those titles that tries to make its own inventive mark on a pre-existing genre. As the first game that focuses exclusively on trade and economics within a city building atmosphere, it seeks to break new ground by isolating supply and demand as the genesis for civic growth, and does so quite admirably. Fans of city building titles will truly enjoy Trade Empires, and it will even woo some dissenters of the genre with its inventive take upon historical civilizations. -Adrenaline Vault
Trade Empires is rated for Everyone, but this is not the type of game a casual civ/economic-sim player would want to tackle. This program is for game player that wants to exercise his or her brain. This program requires that you think. It is not a reflexive-based program. However, Trade Empires is a well-designed game that will teach and entertain. -Gamezone
