Themes from a helpfulness-selected sample of Steam reviews, not the aggregate Steam score.
In a galaxy shaped by the rise and fall of the ancient ENDLESS, you lead one of eight civilizations seeking to build an empire. Explore star systems, investigate ruins and artifacts, and uncover mysteries surrounding Dust, a strange substance left behind by the vanished precursors.
Colonize distant planets, develop systems, manage resources, establish trade routes, and research technologies. Populations respond to your decisions and surroundings, forming political parties that influence which laws your Senate can pass; quests and diplomacy offer additional ways to guide your civilization.
Design ships, assemble fleets, and choose battle plans before cinematic space battles play out. Recruit and train Heroes to serve as admirals, governors, or senators, and adapt your strategy to your civilization's distinctive playstyle as you pursue a path to galactic victory.
Players often enjoy how differently the civilizations play, giving campaigns distinct strategic approaches, and praise the art, soundtrack, lore, and faction quests for bringing the galaxy to life. Some also appreciate the streamlined empire management and replay value. A noticeable subset reports turn-stalling bugs, uneven AI behavior, hands-off battles, or late campaigns that become slow and repetitive.
ENDLESS Space™ 2 is a Strategic Space Opera set in a mysterious universe.
Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by God-like beings known as the “ENDLESS”, who rose and fell eons ago. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a strange, near-magical substance known as Dust.
ENDLESS Space™ 2 takes the classic “one more turn” formula to new heights. You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, build colonies on distant planets, exploit trade routes, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power; and, of course encounter new life forms to understand, to court or to conquer.
As a leader, you have to manage your populations like never before as they react dynamically to your decisions and to their environment, expressing their will through political parties, dictating the laws that your Senate can pass. Will you be a beloved natural leader or will you manipulate your populations to your benefit?
Watch your fighters fly past huge cruisers while lasers rip their hulls apart in epic real-time space battles. Detailed after action reports will help you adapt your strategy for the next confrontations.
Design your ships, assemble your fleets and carefully adapt your battle plans to overcome your enemies. Once you think you’ve done it all, take it online against seven other players.
Immerse yourself in the ENDLESS Universe™. The galaxy belongs to the civilization that controls Dust and uncovers its secrets… but were the ENDLESS alone in the galaxy? What is the true origin of Dust?
Lead one of eight civilizations, each with a unique playstyle affinity and story quest, and build great stellar empires capable of imposing your vision on the Galaxy!
