Your planet is your canvas. Sculpt a living world like clay. Raise mountains with a finger, flood the seas, and let rivers dig gold out of the rock. Where the water goes, life follows — and evolves to fit the world you made. Other players' planets orbit alongside yours. Visit them. Chat with whoever's home. Send gold in an envelope that isn't anyone's until it's opened. WHAT YOU DO • Sculpt terrain in real time — one finger raises land, two fingers fly • Seed life and watch it spread, species by species • Mine gold. Every gram costs the world something. • Fly satellites — 107 of them — that steer weather, growth, and fortune • Gamble at the Cosmic Arcade: slots, blackjack, carts, snow tubes • Top the leaderboard by wealth, or by how much life your world holds Your world keeps living while you're away. Rivers flow, ore returns, and eleven planets wait in the dark. One account, every screen. Start on your phone, continue in any browser at emergent-d.com. Same world, same wallet, same friends.

About

Planetary Conquest

Features
Read full description

The solar system is up for grabs, Commander. Planetary Conquest is a real-time strategy game with a clean, low-poly look. Claim a homeworld, and every planet you hold grows its own fleet — tap a world you own, then tap another to send ships. Land more ships than the defender to take a world. Outproduce, outmaneuver, and conquer them all. • SOLO CAMPAIGN — authored levels, each with its own commander and a rising difficulty curve. Liberate the system world by world, all the way to the brutal final stand. • QUICK SKIRMISH — jump straight into a match against the AI on any world you like. • TWO GALAXIES — the familiar Sol system and the original Veil Expanse, twelve worlds each. • FAIR OR ASYMMETRIC — play perfectly balanced homeworlds, or let each world's real strengths shape your strategy. • BUILT FOR TOUCH — big tap targets, satisfying haptics, and a screen that stays awake while you play. One rule to learn, a galaxy to master.
