Endless Space 2 Starter Edition

Endless Space 2 is a strategic space opera set in a mysterious galaxy, once colonized by the god-like beings known as the ENDLESS. They vanished eons ago, leaving behind mystical ruins, powerful artifacts and Dust, a strange substance with near-magical properties. You lead one of eight civilizations, each with its own playstyle affinity and story quest, and build a stellar empire to impose your vision on the galaxy.

Explore and expand

You explore star systems, uncover the secrets of ancient races, establish colonies on distant planets, develop advanced technologies and use trade routes. You also encounter new life forms to understand, court or conquer. The galaxy’s civilizations vie for control of Dust and its secrets, while questions remain about Dust’s origins and whether the ENDLESS were alone.

Lead your civilization

Your population reacts dynamically to your decisions and its environment, expressing its will through political parties and shaping the laws your Senate can pass. You can lead as a beloved natural leader or manipulate your population for your own benefit. The Academy’s Heroes can be recruited and trained as fleet admirals, system governors or influential senators.

Design and fight

You design ships, assemble fleets and adapt battle plans to overcome your enemies. Space battles play out in real time, with fighters and cruisers exchanging fire; detailed after-action reports help you adjust your strategy for future encounters. You can also take your fleet online against up to seven other players.
