Parsec: Space 4X Strategy

Andrei Levenko

About this game

Parsec is a turn-based 4X space strategy game made for phones. Lead one of eight powers, explore a 3D galaxy, build fleets and outplay rival empires in tactical battles on a hex grid.

EXPLORE THE GALAXY
Every campaign generates a new galaxy. Pick its shape, its size from 8 to 50 star systems, the number of rivals and the length of the campaign: 100, 150 or 250 turns. Open any star system in full 3D.

UNCOVER THE PRECURSORS
Explorers study dig sites on planets, wrecks in asteroid fields, signals in nebulae and the event horizons of black holes. Awaken Precursor artifacts and race your rivals to the Gates.

BUILD YOUR EMPIRE
Claim systems with space stations, build power plants, labs, shipyards and orbital batteries, terraform hostile worlds and research four branches of technology. The Manage window lets you order construction, ships and terraforming across the whole map.

COMMAND YOUR FLEET
Five ship classes, from fast Scouts to heavy Dreadnoughts. Hire admirals with unique skills, and keep them alive: a lost flagship means a wounded admiral.

FIGHT FOR EVERY HEX
Battles play out on the hex grid of each star system. Asteroid fields give cover, nebulae block long-range fire, black holes tear at anything that strays too close.

A LIVING GALAXY
Corsair lairs grow from camps into fortresses and raid your worlds. Ion storms close systems, stellar flares threaten your stations, and events with branching outcomes make every campaign different.

DIPLOMACY AND RIVALS
Sign truces and pacts, or break them. AI empires expand, raid, capture systems and band together against whoever pulls ahead. Start building the Gates and every neighbour will come for you. Four difficulty levels.
