Detailed after action reports will help you adapt your strategy for the next confrontations. 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. 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. 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. Endless Space 2 takes the classic “one more turn” formula to new heights. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a strange, near-magical substance known as Dust. Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by God-like beings known as the “Endless”, who rose and fell eons ago. Endless Space 2 is a Strategic Space Opera set in a mysterious universe.
