System Lords is a Stargate SG-1 inspired online strategy game set in a massive living galaxy filled with Stargates, planets, ships, war, civilizations, and adventure. This is not just a flat map. System Lords takes place inside a real spiral galaxy that slowly expands over time, revealing new stars, new planets, and new opportunities for conquest. As the galaxy grows, so does the fight for power. Every planet has its own unique gate address. Use ships to travel across space, or strike through the massive gate network that connects planet after planet. Build your empire, command your worlds, expand your reach, and decide how you want to rule. Choose from 8 playable races: Goa’uld, Asgard, Tau’ri, Serrakin, Furling, Renegade, Oranian, and Ohne. Shape your empire further with 8 unique personalities: Merchant, Conqueror, Tactician, Scientist, Navigator, Infiltrator, Architect, and Psychopath. Your race and personality help define how you build, fight, expand, and survive. Interact with over 20 different civilizations as you explore, conquer, trade, raid, and fight for control. Every civilization adds more life, conflict, and opportunity to the galaxy around you. Research and learn advanced technologies to strengthen your empire. Improve your planets, unlock new advantages, enhance your military, boost your economy, and push your civilization beyond its limits. The right technology can change the outcome of a war before the first attack is launched. Develop your planets, gather resources, build defenses, raise armies, launch attacks, and prepare for enemies who are doing the same. A strong empire is built by planning, timing, power, and the will to dominate. System Lords has no pay wall and no building timers holding back your empire. Your progress is driven by strategy, activity, planning, alliances, war, and the choices you make as a ruler. This is not a simple tap-and-wait game. System Lords is built around deep strategy, long-term planning, and the freedom to play your way. Grow your planets, strengthen your economy, build your military, explore new worlds, join alliances, make enemies, betray rivals, raid planets, and fight for control of the galaxy. Join powerful alliances, or stand alone as a feared ruler. Make friends, make enemies, break trust, defend your worlds, and strike when your rivals least expect it. In System Lords, diplomacy can be as dangerous as war. System Lords is designed around one core idea: You are a GOD, and no one should rule over you. Take on that personality when you play. Command your people. Control your planets. Expand your power. Destroy those who threaten your rule. Every planet under your command is part of your empire, and every enemy is another obstacle between you and total domination. Choose your race. Choose your personality. Choose your strategy. Choose your allies. Choose your enemies. Choose how far you are willing to go. Enter the gate network. Claim your worlds. Build your empire. Become the System Lord you were meant to be.

The call

System Lords's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
