Endless Space 2 is now in Early Access

by Vlad The Impaler

And, as far as the first reactions go, people are having a great time! I recommend you visiting their Steam page and see for yourself.

I have played and reviewed the original Endless Space for a couple of portals, and I can recall that I enjoyed this game brought by Amplitude Studios so much that I have in fact became a member of the forums and worked on a guide for this very title. The atmosphere of this 4X game was absolutely intoxicating, the soundtrack was so good that I kept listening to it while I was writing or working in general.

The sequel is promising to be more of the better, which is something I can only wholeheartedly agree with. Don’t switch the winning horse and all that jazz. Here are the few things the developer are talking about on their Steam page:

About This Game

Endless Space 2 will put you in the fascinating role of a leader guiding his civilization in making its first steps into the cold depths of interstellar space.

You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power, and, of course, encounter new life forms to understand, to court or to conquer.

Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by a people known as the Endless, who rose and fell eons ago. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a mysterious, near-magical substance known as Dust.

EXPLORE the Endless universe

The new Galaxy Generator has been completely overhauled to provide unique star systems and curiosities to explore, different planet types to colonize, luxuries and strategic resources to exploit, the mysteries of the Dust and new lifeforms to master, and a host of strange cosmic anomalies to deal with.
