Read full description

Nexus Legacy is a persistent online 4X strategy game set in a living galaxy of 15,000 star systems. The Nexus has fallen. You awaken in command of a Genesis Ark with one colony, scarce resources, and a mission: rebuild civilization among the stars. BUILD AN EMPIRE Develop planets, establish moon bases and outposts, balance resources and energy, expand shipyards, and organize logistics across your growing domain. RESEARCH AND EXPLORE Advance through five technological eras and more than 130 technologies. Survey unknown systems, investigate wormholes, confront pirates, recover artifacts, and push toward dangerous regions near the galactic core. COMMAND YOUR FLEETS Build 31 ship designs across reconnaissance, combat, special, and utility roles. Scout, mine, transport, raid, defend, spy, and coordinate joint operations. Fleet composition and preparation matter. TRADE, ALLY, OR CONQUER Join an alliance, negotiate pacts, trade on a player-driven market, coordinate defenses, and compete for territory and influence. The persistent galaxy continues to evolve while you are away. CHOOSE YOUR PATH Lead as an Industrialist, Scientist, Explorer, Warlord, or Diplomat. Each archetype supports a different strategy without locking you out of the wider game. Nexus Legacy is free to play. An internet connection and a Nexus Legacy account are required.
