A 4X grand strategy taking place in real time, allowing us to build an interplanetary civilization on a constantly evolving map. In Beyond Astra we monitor both the space and planet surface. We decide on things like economy, military, science, culture and religion.

Game engine

Beyond Astra is a debut for the French studio Nebule Games. It is a 4X strategy game inspired by the classics like Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and the Master of Orion series. The game allows us to build a cosmic empire in real time on a large, growing and randomly generated map. We can transition from the cosmic view to the land without a loading screen, simply by zooming in the view.

Gameplay

We start the adventure in Beyond Astra on an unknown planet. We are building a society from scratch, taking into account factors such as climate needs and the ability to adapt to the environment. The level of consciousness as well as the political and cultural tendencies of the developing civilization also have significance. The three primary skill trees include Science, Culture, and Religion, and victory is ensured by achieving one of seven Civilization style conditions: Economic, Military, Diplomatic, Scientific, Cultural, Religious, or Points.

Beyond Astra is characterized by a deft transition from implementing tactics in space to constructing buildings and planning production chains on land. We deal with the transportation of resources and improve the quality of life of our citizens.

Interactions with other forms of life will not always go smoothly, hence the need to organize a fleet. Each ship has fully customizable parts, and combat in Beyond Astra features individually rotating turrets and advanced collision management that allows for real-time missile interception while in flight.
