Interstellar Space: Genesis

Interstellar Space: Genesis is a turn-based space strategy game in which you build a galactic empire. Explore star systems remotely or with survey ships, uncover mysteries and treasures, colonize worlds, develop your society, and pursue diplomacy or tactical combat as you seek to rule the galaxy. The game combines classic space 4X mechanics with new features, while aiming to reduce micromanagement.

Shape your empire

Choose from six distinct races, each with its own abilities, advantages and background, or design a custom race with ideal worlds, racial traits and game-changing abilities. Set the difficulty, adjust per-empire sliders, choose victory conditions and galaxy size, and set your own pace. Technology and culture progress through randomized trees or follow the galaxy’s natural order. Your choices help define your empire’s destiny as you develop its culture, celebrate its talents and specializations, and oversee leaders with personalities, desires, traits, skills and opinions that matter.

Explore the galaxy

Discover mysteries through exploration mechanics and events. Remote exploration technology can detect black holes, neutron stars, planets and other systems, while ancient ruins may hold treasures, technologies or talented individuals. Interstellar travel is limited by your empire’s supply chain.

Expand your territory

Establish or conquer settlements and outposts, find worlds suited to your race, or adapt them through terraforming and planetary engineering projects. Develop colonies with animated environments and handcrafted worlds, and exploit asteroids and strategic resources for production, profit or research.

Deal with rivals

Build custom ships for turn-based tactical combat, and use diplomacy to trade, sign treaties, forge alliances or conduct military negotiations. You can destroy enemy worlds with powerful bombs, send assault troops to capture them, or deploy leaders undercover to uncover secrets, destroy facilities and find potential defectors.
