How it feels

A dense, methodical turn-based strategy game that feels like commanding a sprawling galactic empire through careful exploration and calculated conquest.

What players say

Players say the game was abandoned unfinished and crashes often, with corrupt saves and a broken alt-tab. Many call it a ripoff of Master of Orion and say Stellaris does everything better. Only two win conditions, and very few players ever finish a game.
