Each faction is interesting and changes the way you play, whether it’s focusing on scientific discovery or spreading your giant tree limbs from planet to planet.Įvery time you start a game of Endless Space 2 you’ll work through your faction’s primary story, as well as additional crises that unfold throughout hundreds of turns. The Unfallen are giant tree people whose philosophy on life feels both familiar and wholly alien. The nomadic and religious Vodyani drain energy from entire star systems from their massive Arks. The bio-engineered, cybernetic insect Cravers just want to devour everything in their path. About half the factions from the first Endless Space return. You choose one of eight distinct races (or craft your own). But Endless Space 2 is full of personality thanks to its varied factions and story-based quest lines. You research and unlock new technologies, build improvements, wage war and diplomacy, uncover secrets buried on planets, and profit from trade routes between star systems.Īt its very basic level it plays similarly to granddaddy 4X series Civilization. Populating planets nets resources: Food, Industry, Science and Dust (currency). You build ships to explore the stars and colonize star systems. In case you missed Endless Space (for shame), Endless Space 2 is a turn-based, 4X strategy game where you run an entire galactic empire.
