Nexus 5X

Mechanics

Stellaris Nexus is a turn-based game. At first glance, it doesn't differ much from other 4X turn-based strategies. Though we start off the game modestly, controlling only our home planet, over time we begin to develop, researching new technologies, expanding and fielding powerful fleets.

It's up to us how we'll approach our main task - conquering Nexus. We can create a military nation and achieve our goal by force, consolidate our power through trade, negotiations and diplomacy or do something in-between; covertly sabotage our opponents through bluffing, deception and diplomatic intrigues.

The game distinguishes itself from similar games from its genre through its emphasis on session length. The game was designed so that a single session would not last longer than an hour.

Game modes

Stellaris Nexus was created with multiplayer in mind; the game supports up to six people at once.

Technical aspects

The visuals of Stellaris Nexus are rather modest. Though the cosmic views and space battles don't look particularly impressive, we'll spend most of our time watching the interface anyway.
