About

Expansion Beyond

Features
Read full description

Year 2185: Spacecraft Noah-1 stars a long journey towards Alpha Centauri, carrying the first humans ever to travel beyond the Solar System. Its destination: Proxima b, a rocky planet tidally locked to the dwarf star Proxima Centauri. A world of extremes, where one side bathes in perpetual daylight while the other hides in eternal darkness. Incompatible with Earth life, its atmosphere is toxic and its oceans flow with sulfuric acid. As you step out of your landing pod, you realize that you are not alone. Proxima b is teeming with life — alien, primitive and aggressive. Your mission: survive Proxima b’s unforgiving environment and predators, while harvesting resources that will help humanity accelerate its expansion to Alpha Centauri. Features: * Reap the rewards of being one of the first humans to pioneer life beyond our solar system. * Extract natural resources (metals, polymers, and osmium) to build your headquarters and devices that will help you survive. * Unlock the mysteries of Proxima b as you explore its alien landscapes and fend off aggressive life forms. * Build a Cloning Bay to bring you back to life after you die. Which will happen, often. * Adapt and evolve by unlocking an arsenal of advanced weapons, powerful mods, and cutting-edge cybernetic implants. * Learn about Proxima b’s unusual biology and evolution. * Build a Particle Accelerator, produce Antimatter, and power a teleportation gate between Alpha Centauri and the Solar System. Expansion Beyond demands strategic thinking, careful planning, and fast reflexes. It contains scenes of mild violence, making it unsuitable for children.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Severance Pain at none against Expansion Beyond's 10. Severance Pain also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). Expansion Beyond's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months). On price there is nothing between them.
