At the dawn of the interstellar era, humanity and its machine workforce have expanded into a remote stellar neighbourhood. Explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate across the nearby stars in a real-scale, fully-3D environment to overcome your rivals, mastering military power, prosperous governance, booming industry, wealth, resources, and their separate technology trees. Choose your faction and your path to victory, but travel it alone; you’ll find no friends in the hostile and dangerous depths of space.

Choose your faction

Many factions have made their way from the 'Cradle Stars' to these new worlds, each shaped by their past and with their own perks and variation of gameplay. Which will you choose to lead to supremacy?

Command your fleet

Build fleets of machine ships and armies, and command them between planets and stars. Whether to explore new worlds, settle them, conquer them from your enemies, or protect your own, your military strategy and tactics will be key to survival and, if strong enough, victory.

Manage your faction

Your citizens may live in comfort, but prosperity is never guaranteed. As the architect of their future, you must keep them satisfied and secure. Balance growth and stability as you turn fragile colonies into thriving powerhouses.

Develop your industrial might

In a universe where machines have replaced humans as the workforce behind the biggest empires, you must balance creating strong and efficient machines with growing their numbers and expanding to new planets and systems.

Create a thriving economy

Wealth is the lifeblood of any powerful empire, and managing it is crucial to your survival. Maintain a delicate balance of income and expenditure to ensure your empire remains strong, whilst not crumbling under its own weight.

Achieve technical mastery

Your faction will advance simultaneously through six distinct tech trees, each helping you move closer to interstellar dominance. From military innovations to industrial breakthroughs, each tree offers tools for success in different areas of empire-building. As you progress, you’ll need to strategically prioritize and balance your research to create synergies between the trees. Mastering the tech trees isn't just about unlocking new technologies, it's about finding the most effective routes to victory, whether through military conquest, economic prosperity, or industrial supremacy.

Harness and exploit resources

In Stellar Reach, you will discover 13 unique resources that are scattered across the galaxy, each playing a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of your fleets, armies and industries. Scan planets to discover when resources lie within, and expand your territory to harness them. Control of these vital resources could be the key to your victory.

Guide your conquest among the stars

Stellar Reach offers three distinct paths to victory, each with its own challenges and strategic opportunities:

• Conquest: Dominate rivals through your relentless military might. Build powerful fleets, crush opponents and capture critical systems. Only the strongest will survive the worn-torn stars.

• Prosperity: Focus on the well-being of your citizens by transforming a fragile colony into a bustling centre for culture and politics.

• Industry: Harness the full potential of your industrial might. Develop advanced technologies and infrastructure to create an unstoppable empire of machines. Through superior production, rise to supremacy.
