Distant Worlds: Universe

Distant Worlds System Requirements

Published by Slitherine Ltd.


What we love

1. A new official storyline built using the new modding capabilities, covering the first war between the Freedom Alliance and the Shaktur Axis, in which you have access to the tech required to build your own planet destroyers, establish the Ancient Guardians and research and deploy the Xaraktor virus.

2. Universe is also the ultimate collector’s edition, the first time all previous Distant Worlds releases have been included in one package, along with an updated manual and greatly expanded modding support.

3. Distant Worlds: Universe is the newest chapter of this critically acclaimed sci-fi series, adding incredible new features and an exciting new storyline.

4. Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time 4X space strategy game.

5. Experience the full depth and detail of turn-based strategy, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game.

6. Vast galaxies are made to order: up to 1400 star systems, with up to 50,000 planets, moons and asteroids.

7. Explore star systems, asteroid fields, gas clouds, supernovae, galactic storms and black holes.

8. Build, expand and improve your empire while playing through one of the storylines, with victory conditions or in an open-ended sandbox mode.

9. Encounter other empires, independent alien colonies, traders, pirates and space monsters.

10. Galaxies are so deep, fun and immersive that you won’t want to finish the game.

11. Each galaxy is packed with life and activity.
