An extremely compelling and ambitious grand strategy game from the makers of the Long War Xcom mod. Pick a faction and compete or cooperate with 6 other factions as you navigate geopolitics and eventually the colonization and exploitation of space to respond to alien invaders. The playable factions all have different goals throughout the course of the game, from resisting the alien invaders, to appeasing and out right exodus of the earth itself.

Early game will mostly focus on securing influence and control over nations while defending and removing the influence of others by recruiting "Councilors". Councilors are operatives that come with different skillets and access to different organizations, which can be used to modify their skills and active abilities.

Geopolitics in the game focus on controlling all aspects of the nations you influence through the use of improvement points; these allow you to set how much of your GDP goes to each aspect, such as military, education, and "boost", which you will need for the next part of the game.

After researching the required projects, you can then build space stations and outposts around the earth, moon and beyond. The game can model the entire solar system on full settings, giving you plenty of moons and asteroids in addition to the planets that you can probe, colonize and exploit. The aliens can do this as well; depending on tech you research, you will be given notice of their bases and outposts throughout the solar system.


The game has a very steep learning curve; there is a lot to balance between making sure your councilors are safe (and loyal to you), the competition to dictate global research, as well as keeping your controlled nations safe and happy while alien abductions occur. Once it clicks, the game has the classic "one more turn feel" that keeps you playing well beyond what you expected. This is well worth the price as it has delivered a fully functional game, and will only get better throughout early access.

Wtf is a Lagrange Point, btw
