ENDLESS Space™ 2
A turn-based space opera where you lead one of eight wildly different civilizations across a galaxy littered with the ruins of the ENDLESS.

Stars in Shadow
A turn-based space 4X in the spirit of the old classics: explore nearby stars, settle worlds, grow a fleet from a few destroyers to planet-destroying Dread Stars, and win the galaxy by diplomacy or force.

Interstellar Space: Genesis
A turn-based space 4X about building a galactic empire the classic way: explore, colonize, research, and fight on a tactical grid when talks fail. Remote exploration hides secrets in every system, six races and custom builds keep runs fresh, and micromanagement stays out of your way.
