Distant Worlds 2

Distant Worlds 2 continues the 4x strategy of the same name, but on a new 64-bit engine, with updated 3D graphics and a well-developed interface. Here the user will have to start his own story in a vast world, acting in real time. The game focuses on multiplayer, where at the start you are offered to choose a side of the conflict, and then engage in customization and settings of the Universe, thanks to the built-in editor.

The user in the space simulator is transferred to a huge Galaxy, which consists of more than 2 thousand star systems, many thousands of planets, moons, asteroids, which must be explored and used, for example, for the extraction of valuable minerals or conquest. Here it is also possible to establish diplomatic relations with local inhabitants. Thanks to the in-game editor, the gamer himself sets various parameters, for example, selects the required number of star systems, planets, asteroids, spaceships, bases, enemy monsters, and sets attributes for his Empire. If necessary, the player can always activate help to learn from the description of various elements located on the screen, or read the Galactopedia, which is also included here, where game elements and tools are described. In the space simulator, it is necessary to act in each of the sectors of the Galaxy, trying to get your own benefit from research, exploitation, expansion of territory and destruction of opponents.

The virtual universe is huge and is home to 7 different factions, each with its own characteristics and playstyle. The user’s main task is to build and improve their empire, constantly meeting with representatives of other powers, ordinary aliens, their colonies, as well as traders, pirates and monsters, with whom they will have to engage in battles in real time, gradually revealing secrets. Here you can control only one ship, which is pumped up in the process, and build an entire empire from it, gradually expanding the transport with the help of modules.
