Upgrades come in 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 1 year increments ranging from 3.99 to 19.99 Euros. Upgrades paid for in one universe do not cross over to others. To play in a different universe players require what is in effect a new account. Players can move between galaxies in the same universe, but cannot move between universes. There are currently 9 universes with new ones opening about once or twice a year. Each galaxy is divided into 99 sectors, each sector has a random number of stars and each star can support a random number of colonizable planets. The playing world consists of a universe made up of 90 galaxies. The player takes on the role of a manager of a space empire, colonizes new worlds, manages their economy, builds fleets and destroys other players' fleets. It's like $30 a year if you choose to upgrade which gives you a few extra features.Īstro Empires, or AE, is a free* web based massive multiplayer online (MMO) game. Don't blame the game, it's balanced for free accounts. Players that get farmed typically have a "my way" approach that leads them to get farmed server after server. As I read through the negative reviews trashing on game it made me wonder if those players were farms and never learned the fundamentals. I prefer phone but more features are available if you play by computer. It's browser based so can be accessed by phone or computer. There's a channel designated for new players wishing to learn more about the game. My advice for new players is join a guild on Alpha server or the newest server and visit AE community discord channel. If you have a weak mental this game isn't for you. It's a survival of the fittest type of game. Aggressive Players can grow a strong empire fast. It is a math strategy game about profit & loss, where players attack, pillage, pirate & recycle other players stuff for profit and use those profits to improve their empire. Your fleets are still wiped out however.Įven so, I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who isn't versed in Mafia Politics. your game isn't destroyed and you havn't lost your hard work. This is a great feature of any game like this as it makes it so that even if youre being butt rammed by god level players. You can still build up (even make ships to fight back) and do everything else but the occupier is taking a percentage of your income while he occupies you. I give it 2 start however for a couple of innovative things I saw that more games should have.ġ) Your bases and planets are never "destroyed" when attacked, they are "Occupied" by another player. Its the online space game equivalent of being in a supermax prison for murder. You have to join a guild, give out sexual favors or be butt rammed by everyone around you. They ban you for anything and they give free accounts and perks to thier friends who are playing. There are penalties for attacking players lower level then you because it would be terribly frustrating if thye didnt etc. It makes the variation of ships and structures in the game meaningless. There are good untis and bad units, there ar ecertain ways you HAVE TO BUILD or youre just going to get anihilated. Watching numbers go up is somehow entertaining. Admittedly, upgrading your planets and queing up fleets is fun. Its just another tick game which gets worse the more you play it. If you are prone to addiction, this game may be an inescapable blackhole for you. Alternatively, play this game to test the mental stability of your guild leadership. If you experience mental breaks easily, avoid leadership at all costs. But you must have unshakable mental stability and an ability to navigate skeevy allies, foes and newbs. There is a learning curve getting comfortable with the game dynamics and best min-max but a good guild can get you squared away quickly.įor people who want to eventually lead down the line, there is some high level strategy and politics involved. There is a community discord to sh*tpost and opine on most relevant servers and a variety of non-game related topics. If you are the type of person that is highly competitive, have questionable morals, are satisfied with delayed gratification, fine with browser based games and are okay with toxic people, this is most likely the game for you!Īs a grunt you will spend the majority of your time keeping queues full and chasing guild mates and enemies for rank.
