About Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity

Andromeda isn't like most other games, it has been slowly developed by one person for years now, and the direction it has taken has been constantly shaped by feedback and ideas from users to make it what it is today.
It's not super fast paced. You can't really pick it up for an hour and get much out of it. It's intended to be a digital universe in your pocket with its own virtual economy and a community of people that will probably be around for awhile.
To be clear though, it's not an idle clicker game, it does take thought and strategy to succeed.
It is heavily economy oriented, with an emphasis on colonizing entire solar systems full of planets and building structures on them to generate resources over time, making it a bit of a mix of a 4X space game (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate), Universe Simulator, and a Tycoon game.
Fleet battles are 1v1, so while you can't be in the same fight with a friend, you can help defend your friend's territory from attacks by leaving your fleet in orbit over their planet.
The universe is persistent, so anything gained is kept, allowing you to build up a large interstellar empire over time.Gameplay -
  • Play as an interstellar Corporation that warps to the safety of the Andromeda Galaxy to escape an alien invasion of Earth and The Milky Way.
  • Build up an economy by constructing and upgrading habitats for workers, solar arrays for power, resorts for tourists, mines and refineries for metals, and much more.
  • Hire a Stellar Representative that levels up and gains perk points that can be used to boost the efficiency all the planets in a solar system.
  • Use the resources you've harvested from your planets to build ships and outfit them with weapons and support modules.
  • Create colony ships to expand your Corporation to even more planets and moons.
  • Terraform your planets to make them more habitable for your Workers and Tourists by altering the planet's Temperature, Water Level and Pollution.
  • Form fleets of up to 12 ships and retake Earth, Mars and the rest of Sol from the aliens known as "Strith", or fight against other players and take their planets.
  • Not into PvP? The starter system and Andromeda galaxy is completely PvE, so you can build freely without being harassed by other players.
  • Trade with other players for credits, resources, ships, weapons and support modules, or use the Bazaar to leave orders to buy or sell resources while your offline.
  • Form alliances with other players and work together.
Fleet Battles -
  • Leave a fleet in orbit over a planet to protect it from other players while you're away.
  • Ships automatically fire at targets with basic weapons like gattling guns and lasers.
  • Players have control over unique abilities such as Nuke, EMP, Prism Gel, Draw Fire, Focus Fire, Repair Beam and Shield Beam making fleet composition and strategy important.
  • Hire a Fleet Commander that levels up from fleet battles and gains points that can unlock perks that boost all the ships in their fleet.
Land Battles -
  • Build defenses on the surface of your planets as a second layer of defense against other players that takes a lot longer to destroy than a fleet.
  • Fill up troop transport ships and enter orbit of another player's planet to land your troops and invade it.
Free to Play? -Free to play with Non-Pay-To-Win perks for available for micro-transactions.Micro-transactions can buy one thing: Time Crystals. Time Crystals can be used to skip building and repair timers, buy alternate ship skins, paint ships, buy cosmetic holograms, open a mystery crate for random stuff, or re-roll resources on a planet slot.None of the stuff you get from Time Crystals is going to make a huge difference compared to time played, and the build timers aren't that long forcing you to skip them to enjoy the game, with a buildings being 1-10 minutes usually.Time crystals can also be occasionally obtained as in-game loot. Also available on Google Play for Android, but I'm not allowed to post a link to it here.Maybe an iOS version some day, I don't own a Macbook to build it on.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity for its engaging space-based gameplay, regular updates, responsive developers who incorporate community feedback, and non-pay-to-win mechanics that reward grinding and strategy. However, some players express significant concerns about the requirement to create a third-party account separate from Steam, citing privacy and data harvesting risks, though others find the game's complexity, detailed world-building, and helpful community worth the investment of time.

Not recommended Sep 10, 2025
[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party account ("Users are required to create an "Andromeda" in-game. Once made the can be logged in on both Steam and Android as well as iOS in the future.")... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account. This represents a considerable risk to gamers due to the privacy and security implications of developers that wish to bypass Steam and harvest user data. Remember, sometimes if the product is free, YOU are the product.[/quote] [quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] [quote][url=https://en.wikipedia…

Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity is a great MMO with a small but active community (~10 players online at all times). The core gameplay revolves around colonizing new planets to gather more resources and build a stronger fleet, which you then use to take on more difficult raids. There are two galaxies, with the first one being PvE only, so new players don't have to worry about getting stomped by other players. Pros: Active developer who genuinely wants to improve the game for the community. Zero performance or graphics issues after 72 hours of combined playtime on mobile and PC. Weaker ships have lower upkeep costs, giving them meaningful use cases. No ads. Extremely fair monetization. Cons: Ship AI sometimes refuses to repair the correct ship. Ship stats are often displayed incorrectly in the build menu. The tutorial is lackluster and has the potential to softlock players if they delete their first supercomputer.

Игра Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity – это захватывающее приключение, которое погружает игрока в масштабную космическую сагу. Разработчики проделали колоссальную работу, создав детально проработанный мир с уникальной атмосферой. Исследование бескрайних просторов галактики, взаимодействие с разнообразными инопланетными расами, а также увлекательный сюжет – все это делает игру поистине незабываемой. Графическая составляющая на высоте, каждый космический корабль, каждая планета прорисованы с удивительной точностью. Музыкальное сопровождение идеально дополняет геймплей, усиливая эффект погружения. Несмотря на некоторые мелкие недочеты в балансе, Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity является достойным представителем жанра, способным увлечь на долгие часы. Это игра, которая заставляет задуматься о будущем человечества и нашем месте во Вселенной.
