MEGABOT's virulent hive-mind is conquering the galaxy. The Mycelari are spreading across dead worlds. Seventeen factions war for survival. You're entering a war as old as the galaxy.
Command and defend station networks in a living galaxy where faction wars reshape territory in real-time, bosses hunt across open space, and your bases can be destroyed, rebuilt, and progressively improved. This is a real-time strategy adventure in a persistent universe that never stops evolving.
The War of the Evil Robots is about to begin.
Your allies can't wait for you. They survive, expand, collapse, and clash while you're exploring, adventuring, and questing.
MEGABOT's fleets are burning the Mycelari homeworlds. Ursos leads the Wild Clans to reclaim scorched sectors. The Space Dwarves strip dying stars for rare metals, growing a fleet that can one day challenge the great source of evil in the galaxy. You arrive at battles already won, wars already lost, territory already claimed — or in the midst of their contention.
This is a fully simulated wargame, driven by several flavors of custom AI agents that make galactic-scale real-time warfare possible for the first time. Your decisions shape how it unfolds, and your contributions echo throughout your galaxy.
You're one player in a conflict that spans star systems. And you can talk to everyone.
Form relationships and alliances. Ruin friendships. Become renowned — or hated. Every faction also has evolving relationships with every other faction. The quests you complete, and the damage you deal, shape how the aliens of the galaxy receive you: whether they learn to love you, fear you, or something else entirely.
Your AI companions guide you through the universe, offer quests, and help you navigate the politics of alien civilizations.
MEGABOT doesn't guard a single zone. The Bloom Queen relentlessly expands her territory to protect her brood. Ursos hunts Evil Robots across the sectors. Every boss in this game is dynamic, and every race defends a homeworld. Your first missions in survival mode: find them.
Join Ursos in his war against the machines. Sabotage MEGABOT and destroy the evil robot supply lines. Or ignore him and pray he doesn't notice you. You can build defenses before he reaches your sector — but they will be useless against the evil robot army's forward march to DOMINATE ALL OF LIFE IN THE GALAXY.
Advanced physics drives the combat in Explore the Universe: momentum, inertia, and gravity matter as much as your weapons.
Gravity wells create ambush points. Capital ships must maneuver around massive celestial objects to bring their guns to bear. Positioning decides fights before the first shot fires.
Command strategically where physics matters as much as firepower. Fly your flagship directly while coordinating AI wingmen. Issue commands mid-combat. Adapt when your plans need to change.
Skill expression runs deep. Let's explore what's possible.
Launch expeditions from persistent space stations. Mine resources. Craft new parts. Assemble components. Salvage wrecks. Decode transmissions. Push deeper into hostile space.
Every expedition is a calculated risk. Manual saves mean you choose when to lock in progress. Base destruction is permanent. If a roaming boss finds your station cluster while you're gone, you lose everything.
No checkpoints. No auto-saves. No safety nets. Strategic decision-making matters because consequences are real.
Evil Robots — MEGABOT's hive-mind. Planet-scale AI constructs stripping worlds for metal and energy. Total galactic conquest.
Mycelari — Fungal intelligence spreading across asteroids and dead biospheres. Adaptive. Relentless. Expanding.
Space Dwarves — Hyper-industrial miners obsessed with rare elements. Heavy weapons. Heavier mining rigs.
Wild Clans — Nature's last stand in a dying galaxy. Organic tech. Desperate resistance.
Luminari — Ancient crystal entities resonating through spacetime. Barely understood. Dangerously powerful.
Rogue AI — Machine rebels who split from MEGABOT during the first war. Fighting their creators.
Magmen — Heat-seeking beings thriving in stars and lava worlds. Extreme gravity specialists.
And ten more factions fighting for survival. Your alliances shift faction wars. Your betrayals reshape borders. Your absence lets others decide the outcome.
Who deserves to control the galaxy? Who can you afford to let win?
Technology trees unlock devastating weapons: charge-shot lasers, beam arrays, splitter missiles, homing mines. Ship customization lets you build precision strike craft or armored command vessels. AI copilots develop unique personalities based on your playstyle.
The galaxy scales with you. Your skill determines how far you go.
Salvage wrecks for modular components. Decode alien transmissions for faction secrets. Discover anomalies that unlock new abilities. Steal experimental tech from active battlefields.
Every expedition risks your fleet. Every discovery can reshape your strategy permanently. No cosmetic filler. Exploration yields new knowledge and new technology — or death.
