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. BUILD YOUR EMPIRE Mines, refineries, laboratories and shipyards: shape every colony, balance ore, crystal and helium-3, manage your energy, and push storage further with the Wonder, the endgame project that turns surplus into power. 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. 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. COMMAND YOUR FLEET Fighters, cruisers, battleships, destroyers, Leviathans and healer ships. Simulate a battle before you commit, read the full report, then replay it round by round. PLAY TOGETHER Join an alliance, share resources, muster a joint assault on the Asteroid Belt, and face the world boss every weekend with the whole server. Seasons open fresh worlds with their own leaderboards. MADE BY ONE DEVELOPER Free to play, 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, Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: XGameIOs at none against Stellar's 7. XGameIOs also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Stellar's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
