5. Distant Worlds: Universe

Distant Worlds: Universe Gameplay

One of the most dense and complex space strategy games ever created, Distant Worlds: Universe offers the grittiest details and strategies of managing a star empire. The galaxy and everything in it can be built to exact specifications, with over 20 races and different time periods to choose from. The game speaks a scientific language, with mountains of data and even an organic economy with both a public and private sector. This is more than just a great 4x game, it is a space empire simulator.

Space Sim: Distant Worlds lets you manage every aspect of life in space, including fine-tuning your relations with your neighbors.

Paint the Stars: Rule over many star systems, but don't be too rude to your neighbors or they may gang up on you.
