Beyond Astra is a strategy game that allows you to experience the future of space civilization. Grow your starting city into a multi-system empire, manage your economy, research, military, politics, and culture, and expand your civilization through conquest. 

DEEP AND DIVERSE EXPLORATION

Each game begins on an unknown planet, full of potential for your civilization. As you advance technologically, your civilization becomes ready to explore the galaxy, discovering new planets, celestial bodies, and other life forms. The galaxy is full of adventures, surprises, and mysteries waiting to be discovered, pushing the boundaries of your civilization’s knowledge. 

 

VAST MANAGEMENT FREEDOM

Seamlessly navigate from planetary surfaces to the entire game map and its strategic insights with a simple scroll of your mouse wheel—no loading required. Revel in the authority to make sweeping decisions, from subsidizing the agri-food sector to propagating beliefs across the galaxy. Engage with your citizens by managing political interactions and enhancing their quality of life, making impactful decisions that affect their satisfaction. Take bold actions, from claiming a moon inhabited by Hyppotaks to constructing your Dyson Sphere, orchestrating resource transport across the galaxy, and much more. 

 

EPIC GALACTIC WARFARE

Implement effective tactics on planets and in the vastness of space. Each terrestrial army has its own composition. Each ship boasts its own size, characteristics, and capabilities, with fully customizable components (engine, defense, weaponry). Interact with challenging AI civilizations, endowed with unique personalities and natural reactions, whether as adversaries or reliable allies. Strategic coordination and adaptation are vital for your success. 

 

LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS...

...propel the 4X Genre to New Horizons: An enormous, continuously evolving map features hundreds of visitable worlds and ships in motion, with no loading. Each planet has instant pathfinding calculations on its surface, and billions of citizens are calculated using parallel processing, freeze-free. Each ship is equipped with customizable turrets that rotate and can be targeted, with advanced collision management that even allows interception of mid-flight missiles.
