Solar Kingdoms: Human Survival

Solar Kingdoms: Human Survival is a real-time strategy game set in the distant future, where human factions fight for dominance across solar systems and sectors of space. You manage colonies, explore planets and space, and command battles on planetary surfaces and among the stars.

Explore the solar systems

Each game starts with a space station. You travel through solar systems and sectors, discovering planets, gas giants, asteroids, anomalies and other objects, as well as other players’ stations. Exploration uncovers resources and artifacts and supports research, learning and unit advancement, which can provide strategic advantages in combat.

Planets host intelligent alien life and diverse flora and fauna, both hostile and friendly. Alien forces may command large hostile spaceships and stations; you can convert these units into friendly allies to fight common enemies. Planetary life also offers opportunities for hunting, research and combat.

Build and manage colonies

You establish colonies on suitable planets, recruit colonists and robotic workers, and develop each colony from a single building across the planet. Colonies provide resources, military outposts and staging grounds for further expansion. Robotic factories produce specialized units for combat and planetary defense, while careful resource management helps your faction expand to other planets.

Command forces

Space stations produce specialized units for space combat. You can build ships including scouts, builders and mining vessels, then unlock larger cruisers, carriers, destroyers and other specialized units. In space battles, factions use ships, land units and naval forces while mining resources and gathering knowledge.

On planets, you build barracks and robotic factories to train units ranging from tanks and infantry to large mechs for attack and defense. You expand your territory, confront rival factions and defend against alien threats, seeking to be the last faction with a space station standing.

Campaign and skirmishes

You can play campaign missions or enter skirmish battles. In Skirmish Mode, you start with a space station and deploy units against enemy ships and land forces while mining resources, gathering knowledge and colonizing solar systems. Multiplayer skirmishes support up to eight players, who fight for control of solar systems and sectors through tactics and teamwork.

The game also describes a diplomacy system intended to let factions form alliances, declare wars and negotiate peace treaties.
