A shared space-strategy game
Galactic Empires brings the core 4X ideas—explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate—into a multiplayer galaxy. Players scout space, establish and develop colonies, manage credits and exium, research technologies, design military units, command fleets and armies, and make diplomatic choices with other empires.
The game is played in a web browser rather than through a required desktop client, with public entry layouts designed for desktop and smaller screens.
