Veyra Sol

Read full description

The Veyra Spiral once breathed beneath a single light: the Galactic Beacon, an Ancient resonance masterwork that fixed every hyperspace route and held thousands of worlds in one connected galaxy. Then the Beacon fell silent. In the great collapse known as the Scattering, the hyperspace network unravelled, star-roads snapped, and a once-united galaxy fractured into strangers weeks apart. You wake as a new commander on an empty frontier world, with nothing but the ambition to rebuild. Three traditions rose from the ashes, each convinced it alone can relight the Beacon: Vanguard, the sword of speed and initiative; Aegis, the shield of patience and defense; and Concord, the word of diplomacy and connection. Across a 120-day season you build colonies, command fleets and forge alliances, pushing from the lawless Outer Ring toward the contested Core where the Beacon stands silent. The coalition that carries all three principles — Power, Stability and Harmony — to the Core relights the Beacon and is remembered as the Reuniters, until the light fades and the race begins again. KEY FEATURES • A persistent living galaxy: 9 galaxies, 320 star systems, 43,200 colonizable positions • Real-time colony building with production chains, a worker economy and five resources: Durium, Titanium, Tylium, Ration, Credit • Fleet command: raids, sieges, escorts, espionage — every battle resolved fairly on the server, with a full battle report • Optional 3D convoy battle: take the cockpit and defend your own convoy with touch controls • No one wins alone: victory demands a coalition of all three factions — Vanguard, Aegis and Concord — relighting the Beacon together • Deep alliances: shared bank, buff tree, diplomacy and text chat • A research tree with 44 technologies across 4 branches, unlocking apex-class units • 120-day seasons in four escalating phases; your honors and cosmetics carry over — only power resets • Player-driven market, daily quests, events, sector dominance and a permanent Hall of Fame • A guided first-run tour, a battle simulator and an in-game guide • Eight languages: Turkish, English, German, Russian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese Veyra Sol is free to play on iPhone and iPad, in the same live worlds as players on the web. The game is fully online: it needs a persistent internet connection and a free account (Sign in with Apple or email). There is no offline or single-player mode.

About

Civic Forges

Features
Read full description

Civic Forges is a city builder crossed with a life simulator. You draw the streets, zone the land, and run the services. Then you press Advance Year and face what leading that city does to the person behind the desk. BUILD THE CITY Draw roads, zone homes, shops, and industry beside them, and watch buildings rise from real demand. Plant green buffers to shield homes from pollution. Place police, fire, schools, clinics, parks, and transit, then fund them. Set taxes by zone. Paint districts and give each one a focus. Expand the city limits when you run out of land. LEAD THE PEOPLE Every household has an opinion. Approval rises and falls with coverage, crime, traffic, and pollution, and the election comes whether you are ready or not. Policies trade money for mood, growth for calm. LIVE THE LIFE Each year brings a personal decision: a book deal, a partner who wants more of your time, a health scare, a scandal. Your health, relationships, and reputation move with every choice, and they feed back into how the city treats you. FREE, AND ONLY THAT No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No data collection. Your cities live on your device. A quiet, dark, deliberate strategy game for people who like to think about places.
