About this game

As you travel through space, get ready to investigate, discover, and communicate with a wide range of species. Create a galactic empire by sending out science ships to examine and explore while building ships erect stations around recently discovered planets.

• As you spin a path for your society and impose constraints and evolutions on your explorers, uncover hidden riches and extraterrestrial wonders.
• War will be declared, and alliances will develop.
• Allow your science ships to survey and investigate anomalies, leading you on a slew of quests and introducing you to strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that could completely alter your outcome.
• You will join a maelstrom of spectacles in a highly detailed universe filled with distinctly intricate unique planets and celestial bodies.
• You will come across infinitely different races thanks to customization and procedural generation.
• Select either advantageous or detrimental qualities, certain philosophies, restrictions, evolutions, or anything else you might think of.
• With dozens of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests, and monsters hiding in space, you can grow and extend your empire.
• Create your own Empire! You can add attributes like ethics, technology preferences, preferred space travel modes, habitat preferences, philosophical viewpoints, and more to the characters you select, whether they are from a murdering mushroom civilization or an engineering reptilian race.

Reviews

Stellaris captures the craziness and fun of sci-fi in an engaging, infinitely replayable strategy game.

ZTGD

While this almost feels like "Sim Universe" at times, the core difference is in something for which to strive and active threats beyond your own mishandling of resources and the occasional fire to put out. There's a whole universe out there, and I can't wait to play through Stellaris as many times as it takes to experience the whole thing.

Stellaris Nemesis

In the Stellaris expansion Nemesis, a destabilize galaxy's fate will be up to the player to decide. Nemesis gives you the most potent tools ever made available in Stellaris by incorporating espionage tools, a path to power as the Galactic Custodian to confront endgame crises, or the Menace option to BECOME the final catastrophe.

• Become the Crisis: You are the fire that engulfs the galaxy and imperils it from inside. You'll gain access to strong bonuses as your empire grows more frightening so you may end a hopeless cosmic standoff on your own terms. You have the potential to unleash enough power to terminate all of existence if the rest of the galaxy is unable to stop you in time!
• Galactic Custodian: It is your responsibility to lobby the Galactic Community to recognize you as a Custodian and provide you emergency powers to deal with the Crisis. Utilize them to save the galaxy from oblivion and establish order. You have the option of giving up your powers after the crisis is over—or keeping them and creating a new Galactic Imperium.
• Espionage: Use modern means to spy on your adversaries because knowledge is power (or friends). Send envoys to coordinate covert operations and intelligence gathering behind enemy lines. While you discover their darkest secrets, your opponents will be distracted by lies and deception.
• You can access new operations like Sabotage Starbase, Acquire Assets, and Steal Tech as your Infiltration Level rises. Through the use of defamation campaigns and the instigation of diplomatic problems, turn allies against one another. If you play your cards well, they won't know anything about it, and what they don't know will hurt them.
• Nemesis' new ship collection was influenced by some of the most powerful sci-fi empires. You'll appear as strong as you feel, whether you're destroying the galaxy or taking control of it.

Stellaris Aquatics Species Pack

With Stellaris' most immersive pack, experience what it's like to live in a seafaring culture as you navigate the wide-open spaces of the galaxy.

• Here be Dragons!: The deep sage blue scales of this legendary beast haunt your home planet, orbiting your small kingdom.
• Ocean Paradise: In a fertile environment, these tranquil civilizations live peaceful lives. Take pleasure in unrestricted development and opulence with no natural adversaries, as well as food deposits and bonuses.
• Aquatic: They are also the traditional "fish out of water" on other worlds when a species evolves to flourish there.
• Anglers: Pay a visit to the agricultural areas to profit from these priceless consumer items.
• Hydrocentric: Planets can be terraformed into marine worlds or grown larger by obtaining water from nearby planets. Make space sand castles!

Stellaris Federations

With the expansion of the federations, players can establish unprecedented diplomatic dominance throughout the galaxy.

• Expanded Federations: Players can increase the internal coherence of their Federations and earn potent benefits for all members by developing their diplomatic skills.
• Galactic Community: Create a galactic senate to bring the space empires together and allow it to vote on a variety of motions to influence legislative agendas.
• Origins: Using the new Origins system, strengthen the foundations of your civilization. Players can alter the initial circumstances of their empire and give it more context by selecting an Origin.
• New constructions: Build magnificent new projects for your empire, such as the Juggernaut, a huge mobile starbase that serves as a moveable repair base even in enemy territory, or the Mega Shipyard, a brand-new megastructure that can produce fleets at a breakneck pace.
