About the game

What is Age of Galaxy?

When the cosmos opens its doors, only the cleverest alliances rise to power. In the Silver Crescent, stars are not just lights in the sky — they’re frontiers teeming with unclaimed worlds, ancient relics, and opportunities for glory. Civilizations from across space converge, each seeking to forge their destiny. Age of Galaxy places you at the helm of an interstellar alliance, commanding a trio of unique factions and guiding them to the prosperity. Age of Galaxy is a pocket-sized 4X galactic civilization game. You lead an interstellar alliance of three factions, each with unique abilities and idealogy. Explore systems, colonize planets, research technologies, build fleets, and pursue your chosen path to dominant the Silver Crescent. Compact yet rich in options and replayability, Age of Galaxy invites you to carve your legend in the stars, where empires are built not just with fleets, but with vision. —description from the publisher
