Take command of humanity’s last survivors and rebuild an empire among the stars. In this immersive turn-based strategy game, you must lead the refugees of the great Exodus to a new home in hostile space and build a new galaxy-spanning civilization.

To survive, you’ll need to overcome some of these challenges, to succeed you must master them all.

I've been holding off for years reviewing this game. I needed to know why, I finally do, it's because, imo, I feel 4X games as a whole port poorly to mobile because of screen limitations etc. This has nothing to do with the game hence 5*'s. It's well polished, the Trese Bros are phenomenal passionate developers that are under appreciated and this game is up to scratch and an excellent example of 4X on mobile, it makes Uciana look like a cluttered mess. If you need a 4X fix on the go, buy this.

I enjoy the gameplay, my issue is if you start with the free version and buy the add-ons in it, they DO NOT transfer to the premium version, I have been unable to get my save or every other dlc(that I've already bought) in the elite version and I've already logged into both, synced files etc, my review has been edited to 4 stars because the dev is quick to reply to emails and is very helpful.

The free and elite version are exactly the same, so there is no need to transfer from one version to the other. Sorry for the confusion. Glad we could help over email.

It would've been good if the diplomatic aspect centered more on communicating with the aliens than focusing on your own guys screwing you over every turn. The menus aren't very obvious or well explained and the solutions to the problems you'll face aren't really explained at all. All in all its still a great game and it's worth the 5-10$ it costs
