Beyond

Beyond is a sci-fi turn-based strategy game set in a generated solar system that orbits a distant star every round. Play as one of five alien species as you race to collect resources, build your military, develop new tech, expand the area you control, and drive opposing factions from the system.

From the Steam store

Survey the solar system to maximize development and discover where your foes have already established operations.

Build structures, manufacture ships, and develop technologies to surpass enemy factions in your expansion through the solar system.

Utilize captured enemy structures to turn the tables against them in combat and resource acquisition.

Drive opposing factions from the solar system until only the most dominant remains.

Hailing from the temperate biomes of Gaia, the bipedal community-oriented hominids focus their collective effort on incremental gains across the spectrum, starting weaker and ending stronger than the average species.

Rising from the ashes of their creators’ self-destruction, Botica are a mechanical species that specializes in efficiency of resources and optimization of technology.

Not content with the exo-political powers that be, the Sistren expand their reach on the promise of future riches for all who join their ranks… No matter what tactics it takes to gain them.

Arising from their Foundress, Manta are insectoids that grow everything they need to expand their domain. The very exoskeletons in which they reside are living entities.

Embryophytics that rose to sentience on a lush world, but were forced to set off into the cosmos when their planet’s atmosphere was eviscerated by relentless solar flares. Biological adaptation to the harshest environments has allowed them to travel far and wide in search of a new home.

At the end of every round, all celestial bodies orbit around the sun, moving at different speeds and shuffling the positions of ships, structures, and resources. Ships can enter or leave orbit, giving them tactical advantage in positioning for future combat.

Discover who is out there, and if someone else has already set up operations where you planned to. Visibility is gained and lost as ships maneuver and structures orbit, meaning the tactical landscape can change when you’re not looking.

Compete with opposing factions to gather resources, while managing the upkeep of your force to maintain combat prowess.

Capture structures of different species and, in some cases, use their own technology against them.

Use the actions of ships and structures to advance up your species’ unique technology tree, unlocking more powerful means to conqueror your foes.

If you so desire, dive into the unique stats of every ship and structure to figure out which are best suited to maximize the destruction of your enemies.
