Space Menace is an epic sci-fi space RTS and battle game that puts you in the captain's chair, with the fate of the galaxy in your hands. Starting off small with just one ship, you'll embark on an incredible journey that will see you rise to glory and fortune through a combination of cunning strategy, tactical prowess, and resource management. With multiple paths to progress, you can earn money through freelance missions or simply by taking on other ships and collecting valuable salvage. As you expand your fleet and equip it with weapons, utilities, and strike craft, you'll face surprising elements and make critical decisions that will determine your survival in the hostile and unforgiving vacuum of space. At the heart of Space Menace is a deep and immersive gameplay experience that combines top-down 2D battles, customization options for your fleet, and a rich sci-fi setting that is sure to keep you engaged for hours on end. As you earn the favor or scorn of powerful factions, you'll need to carefully plan your attacks and defenses, leveraging friendly ships and space stations to your advantage. In Space Menace, your decisions will leave a lasting mark on the world, determining the fate of the galaxy itself. So strap in, captain, and get ready to forge your own destiny among the stars.

Start with one colony on a lost planet. End as the power that rules the galaxy. Stellar Dominion is a space strategy game in the tradition of OGame, rebuilt for your phone: deep economy, real fleets, and an empire that keeps producing while you are away. And not a single ad. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Mines, refineries, laboratories and shipyards: shape every colony on an illustrated, cel-shaded map, balance ore, crystal and helium-3, manage your energy, and push storage further with the Wonder, the endgame project that turns surplus into power. When you come back, an absence report sums up what happened while you were away. EXPLORE AND LOOT Send expeditions into the unknown and choose their posture. Scan stellar anomalies to weigh the loot before you attack. Bring debris fields home with your recyclers. Every week, the Breach of the week offers a short branching run: combine modules into sets, search the wrecks and climb its leaderboard. The Frontier Campaign adds chapters of story missions. RESEARCH AND SPECIALISE A full tech tree, doctrines, talent trees and colony destinies such as Arsenal, Gaia or Free Zone. Two empires never look alike. The Codex, a real in-game wiki, answers your questions along the way. COMMAND YOUR FLEET Fighters, cruisers, battleships, destroyers, Leviathans and healer ships. Simulate a battle before you commit, watch it play out in animated combat, then read the full report. In the Stellar Arena, send a fleet to your Outpost and fight over 10 rocks for 24 hours at a table of 8 commanders, from the Iron league to the Master league: your homeworld is never exposed. CHOOSE YOUR FACTION Swear an oath to one of four factions: the Imperium, the Pirates, the Consortium or the Collective. Earn Renown as you play, climb six tiers, each with its own title and a Favor unique to your faction, and wear its emblem next to your name. Every Monday, your faction names a rival for the Order of the Week: one extra anomaly attack per day on its territory. Defend your home turf. PLAY TOGETHER Join an alliance, share resources, pool your ships at the Alliance Station, a meeting point every day of the week (joint raid, joint expedition, mini-boss and Monument), and face the World Boss every weekend with the whole server. SEASONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Seasons open a parallel world where everyone starts again on equal footing, with its own leaderboards and a Season Pass: a free track for everyone and cosmetics to unlock. Your empire in the permanent world stays untouched. Achievements are worth points and feed a leaderboard of their own. MADE BY ONE DEVELOPER Free to play, no advertising, no energy meter, and gems can be earned in play. New versions every few weeks, built from player feedback on Discord. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
