Get ready to explore, discover and interact with a multitude of species as you journey among the stars. Forge a galactic empire by sending out science ships to survey and explore, while construction ships build stations around newly discovered planets. Discover buried treasures and galactic wonders as you spin a direction for your society, creating limitations and evolutions for your explorers. Alliances will form and wars will be declared.
Like all our Grand Strategy games, the adventure evolves with time. Because free updates are a part of any active Paradox game, you can continue to grow and expand your empire with new technologies and capabilities. What will you find beyond the stars? Only you can answer that.
DEEP AND VARIED EXPLORATION
Every game begins with a civilization that has just discovered the means to travel between stars and is ready to explore the galaxy. Have your science ships survey and explore anomalies, leading you into a myriad of quests, introducing strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that may completely change your outcome.
STUNNING SPACE VISUALS
With characteristically complex unique planets and celestial bodies, you will enter a whirlwind of spectacles in a highly detailed universe.
INFINITE VARIATION OF SPECIES AND ADVANCED DIPLOMACY
Through customization and procedural generation, you will encounter infinitely varied races. Choose positive or negative traits, specific ideologies, limitations, evolutions or anything you can imagine. Interact with others through the advanced diplomacy system. Diplomacy is key in a proper grand strategy adventure. Adjust your strategy to your situation through negotiation and skill.
INTERSTELLAR WARFARE
An eternal cycle of war, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances await you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets, where adaptation is the key to victory. Choose from an array of complex technologies when designing and customizing your ships with the complex ship designer. You have a multitude of capabilities to choose from to meet the unknown quests that await.
ENORMOUS PROCEDURAL GALAXIES
Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space.
PLAY THE WAY YOU WANT
Customize your Empire! The characters you choose, be it a murderous mushroom society or an engineering reptile race, can be customized with traits like ethics, type of technology, form of preferred space travel, type of habitat, philosophies and more. The direction of the game is based on your choices.

Limitlessly replayable space game that allows you to live out any space opera fantasy. DLCs keep it fresh but paradox has a Sims DLC mindset where they churn out a lot, good or bad but mostly good and keeps the game alive. Very detailed and UI heavy, you will play games without understanding or using some mechanics and thats fine. I reccommend playing a few single player matches to learn first. If you love stuff like Sid Meiers Civilization you will love this game.
Good concept, great flexibility but the game is so complex and compicated, it takes many hours just to learn how to do the basics. Too difficult to be fun so far.
This game has a lot of systems that are hard to understand at first. I would recommend starting with a buddy that's played it a bit or watching some guides or something to get you up on how to manage your economy and such. Once you figure it out, very fun and addicting, especially with friends. (100% don't need friends to have a good time w/ it though) And you don't need any DLC to have a really good experience, they add more content obviously but I bought my first dlc at 200 hours and didn't feel like I was missing anything. Also, only the world host has to have the DLC and everyone can use it so that helps if you have a friend that plays it. The game and the DLC goes on at least 50% sales very often so grab it then. Also, if you choose a smaller galaxy size it runs fine on weaker hardware, and bc you don't need a mouse or interenet and can pause at any time it's a great laptop game. Would recommend.
Great concept and setting, fun to play.
lots of microtransactions/DLC that should´ve been part of the base game or as free updates.
kinda hard to figure out how to play properly without having having google open on the 2nd monitor.
