An extraterrestrial probe is detected approaching Earth. Unknown to humanity, an alien force has arrived in the far reaches of the icy Kuiper Belt and has begun mining a dwarf planet to prepare for an invasion.
With Earth’s nations unable to unite to address the alien arrival, transnational groups of like-minded political, military, and scientific leaders develop covert channels to coordinate a response. With the aliens' motives uncertain, factions emerge, driven by hope, fear, or greed.
You will control one of these factions.
A distant anomaly, a mysterious crash site, and a spike in reported disappearances. Could this truly be humanity's first contact with extraterrestrial lifeforms? As your field agents investigate sightings and your scientists race to explore new fields of research, you will slowly learn the truth behind the alien arrival.
You begin on Earth as the head of a shadowy organization devoted to your chosen ideology. The aliens are coming – soon – but your first enemies (and perhaps allies) will be other human factions.
Terra Invicta bridges the gap between our modern-day world and the vast interstellar empires of other space strategy games, asking you to take humanity’s first steps in colonizing our Solar System, where over 300 asteroids, moons, and planets in constant motion create an ever-changing strategic map.
Terra Invicta explores what might be – how colonies on Mars might function, what plausible engines could power our spaceships, and the nature of how space colonization and warfare might proceed. Players may find themselves establishing a mining base on the asteroid 16 Psyche after noticing it is rich in metals – and then learn that in our world NASA is planning The Psyche Mission for the same reason.
Terra Invicta is built with modding support in mind, and much of the game is accessible to modders without a coding background. We hope that the Solar System setting and geopolitics simulation will provide a useful framework for modders to realize their own creative visions.

Subject to change
The game is still in early access as far as I know. I hope somethings will improve and I hope the developers will stop trying to play against the players, but so far it is highly entertaining and I always pull a playthrough when they release a new update.

extremely long and detailed
the concept is cool, and the game works, but campains are extremely long, mainly because you get bogged down in details that mattered at some point in the game but does not any longer. For example, when you have bases around the moons of jupiter making more resources than all of earth, do you care about domestic politics in brazil?

Extremely detailed, but hard to manage
The game is one of the most detailed strategy games I've ever played, but it lacks som QoL that could make it better. For example, it can be hard to understand where resources are coming from. Additionally, it is hard to get a good overview of different nations' outputs, and even harder to understand how to improve them. Due to the nature of the game, it can be easy to "play yourself into a corner" where you lack resources but have no easy way to improve output.

Great if you love very complex games
This game is basically X-COM meets Victoria meets War in the Pacific...and I absolutely love it! Now, I am a guy who absolutely loves super complex strategy games like Aurora 4X, War in the Pacific or Rule the Waves and if those kind of games are right up your alley you will love TI. If, on the other hand, you prefere somewhat lighter strategy games, you might want to first wath a YT lets-play or three befor buying it.

A game like no other
This is a game like no other, at the time of writing this review it's still on Early Access, but a lot more polished than it was at 2022 when it first "released". There's still a few rough edges and development is slow. That said. This is a very deep and unforgiving strategy game, it will let you delve into a very deep and complex research tree, pretty realistic space physics and it will let you screw yourself without warning until you hit a wall 2 years laters. It's not for the casual strategy gamer, but if you are truly a fan of straegy games this will provide hundreds of hours of entertainment.
