1996PC96 % positive5.99 €

  • Turn-based combat
  • Economy and management
  • Sci-fi setting

A classic turn-based 4X space strategy game where you explore the galaxy, colonize planets, research technology and fight tactical starship battles against rival races. Deep empire management and custom ship design have made it a cult favourite.

Terraformers

Tactical depth

You transform Mars step by step into a livable world by harvesting resources, founding cities, and creating oceans and life. A laid-back colony-building and 4X strategy game with roguelite elements.

Endless Space

Turn-based combat

A turn-based space 4X game where you lead one of several factions to explore star systems, grow an empire, research technology and command fleets. The mystery of the ancient Endless and the substance Dust fuels the race for the galaxy.

Farlanders

Tactical depth

A laid-back colony builder where you design a Martian settlement as its architect, using limited terraforming tools to meet settlers' needs so they don't defect to rival bases.

Dyson Sphere Program

Tactical depth

A space factory-automation game where you build production chains across multiple planets and ultimately wrap a star in a Dyson sphere. The appeal lies in optimizing sprawling logistics networks on a galactic scale.

Endless Space 2

Tactical depth

A deep space 4X strategy game where you lead a distinct star-faring civilization through expansion, research, diplomacy and war. Each faction plays very differently thanks to unique mechanics and quest lines.

Terra Nil

Cosy, great for unwinding

Terra Nil is a calm reverse city-builder where you restore a barren landscape into a balanced ecosystem, then dismantle all your technology and leave without a trace.

Rymdkapsel

Puzzles and brain teasers

In Rymdkapsel you build a space station from modules and set the overall direction while your minions do the legwork. It is calm and meditative, and the challenge lies in clever layout rather than fast reflexes.
