Infinite Empire

Infinite Empire is a strategy game about designing super-capital warships and fighting Age of Sail-style battles across a galaxy. You build and modify your ship, command it in combat and expand an empire through a changing conflict between rival factions.

Design your warship

Draw hull shapes using circles, ellipses and curves, then snap modules onto the ship’s skeleton. Reactors, weapons and engines each occupy a position on the hull, and their placement affects how exposed they are and where they can fire. You can conceal weak points and arrange weapons to create firing arcs.

Command in battle

Combat centers on large ships maneuvering to bring their broadsides to bear, rather than on dogfighting. Turning takes time, and shields absorb damage across directional quadrants. Hull plating and armor protect vital modules until they are scorched, cracked and breached; once the hull is open, enemy fire can reach the ship’s interior. Fighters swarm, torpedoes track targets and point defenses fire at incoming threats. Battles leave visible damage on surviving ships.

Expand your empire

Rival factions, with their own captains, grudges and wars, pursue their goals even when you are not watching. You can form alliances, betray them or let enemies wear each other down while you expand. Sectors provide crew, resources and improvements for your empire. You can invest in academies, refineries, fuel depots and defense platforms to protect Earth from raiding enemies.

Loot and research

Destroyed enemies drop modules with randomized rarity, stat modifiers and durability. You can scavenge equipment to survive early on, then invest in research and industry to craft exotic gear that combines alien technologies. A legendary railgun salvaged from a wreck can outperform crafted equipment even at 60% condition.

Factions and fleets

Factions have distinct technologies and aesthetics, including industrial ships, bio-organic vessels that grow, necromantic hulks animated by void energy, and steampunk craft powered by coal-fueled reactors. Research faction-specific technology and equip fighter bays with squadrons such as brass automatons, laser-armed drone swarms and ghost-piloted undead bombers.
