Slime Trader Key Features

Merge-based defense

In Slime Trader, you summon random slimes, drag them into position, and merge matching grades into stronger defenders as the larval swarm builds pressure.

111 slimes across 12 grades

The roster spans 111 illustrated slimes across 12 grades from F to XXX, giving the game a collection-and-upgrade loop that changes as your formation grows.

Automatic attacks with evolving styles

Your slimes attack on their own, and higher grades unlock new attack types such as single shots, piercing rounds, spread fire, flames, lasers, explosions, and rocket barrages.

Runes and rebirth progression

Slime Trader lets you equip up to 16 runes and combine multiple effect types, including damage, attack speed, critical hits, range, gold gain, boss damage, overdrive charge, and rebirth-point gain.

Steam trading and leaderboards

Eligible high-grade slimes and runes can move to Steam Inventory, and the game also supports trading, leaderboards, and lobby chat through Steam features.

Casual Windows release with accessibility-friendly options

Slime Trader is listed for Windows, supports single-player, Steam Cloud, save-anytime play, and a mouse-only option, with interface support in 13 languages.
