Beyond Astra

Guide your civilization through a galaxy full of life and intrigue. Explore and expand without loading screens, from the surface of uncharted worlds to the stars. Forge your destiny in this 4X sci-fi game offering a unique blend of grand strategy, city-building, and RTS combat.

Evolve your starting city into a multi-system empire.
The fate of your civilization is yours to decide.

Beyond Astra is an innovative real-time 4X strategy game offering a unique blend of grand sci-fi strategy, planetary city-building, and RTS combat. Easy to pick up yet immensely deep strategically, it will be up to you to build the solid foundations of your empire by harnessing the riches of your worlds and space, and to develop your civilization through six pillars: Military, Economy, Culture, Religion, Science, and Diplomacy.

Enjoy a revolutionary seamless experience: zoom from your cities to the galactic view in an instant with no loading screens. Engage in RTS combat on the ground and in space. Battles are slow-paced, favor thought, are based on physical ballistics, and feature fully customizable units. Play at your own pace with active pause and master your expansion using intuitive tools such as city templates.

Playing directly on the surface of planets anchors the depth of grand strategy in a concrete and tangible experience. Resources are localized and transported via physical trade routes. Diplomacy plays out on the ground through your Envoys. You govern billions of citizens whose jobs, travels, political opinions, and beliefs evolve organically: adapt to their aspirations and influence their ideologies to forge a prosperous empire and maintain harmony on your worlds.

Forge alliances, use tourism to dominate culturally, unify your people's faith to trigger true miracles, or employ indirect tactics such as espionage, economic disruption, and destabilization. Beyond your borders, explore dozens of unique biomes and wage epic battles against imposing megafauna, rival armies, and galactic crises.

Creating a real-time 4X simulating a vast and ever-evolving galaxy with hundreds of visitable worlds is a monumental challenge. To bring this ambition to life, we devoted six years of development to forging a custom technical architecture, with special attention to performance through modern optimizations.
We are a duo of independent creators driven by the desire to create the space opera we always dreamed of playing.
