About Imagine Earth
✦ AI summary
Manage sprawling space colonies across alien worlds while balancing corporate profits against environmental catastrophe in this real-time planet simulation. Construct cities, harvest resources, trade technologies, and compete against rival factions—but watch out: your pollution and emissions trigger climate disasters that can destroy everything you've built.
Imagine Earth is a real-time planet simulation and a build up strategy game. Your job as a space colony manager is to explore and populate distant planets. Build up thriving and profitable colonies on a global scale and trade resources and goods into space.
Profits vs. Ecocide
You will experience a massive conflict between the profit goals of the interstellar corporations and the need to preserve living conditions for your people. Exhaust emissions and ground pollution impact the global climate as your colony is growing. Increasing temperatures melt down polar caps and your colonies are destroyed by rising sea levels.
Expansion & Research
Raise great cities and satisfy their appetite for resources by building power plants, farms and factories. Dig for ideon crystals, pacify riots, research technologies and constructs and maximize your growth while maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
Allies, Threats & Enemies
Get ready to deal with threats like asteroid strikes, twisters, wild fires, volcanoes and rising sea levels. Fend off space raiders and alien investors. Coexist and trade with natives, merchants and hostile colonies.
Capitalist Space Age
In 2048 huge corporations have divided Earth among themselves and exploited its natural resources to a large extent. Now the discovery of ideon crystals allows journeys into space, while technologically and ideologically almost everything remains the same. The laws of the market are being spread into the universe.
Competition and Economic Warfare.
On each discovered planet a competition for economic dominance breaks out. To expand your colony as fast as possible and overcome your opponents you exploit the freely available fossil resources and minerals. Additional money is provided by selling shares of your colony. Take over opposing companies by buying up their shares.
Trade Resources and Technologies
Merchants and technology traders organize the interplanetary trade and will happily buy all minerals and resources you extract from your territory while selling expensive technologies. The same goes for cooperating colonies and alien tribes that live on some of the planets.

so far feels like work in progress. But its really laid back game if you want to chill.5 found this helpful
Just great fun.3 found this helpful
I had a lot of fun with this! Once you look past the hit-or-miss English translation, it's an engaging and kind of chill planet-colony-builder-upper, a bit like a simpler Anno. Plays great with a controller, which is so rare for the genre. I wish there were more incentive in the campaign to try out the different resource production techs, I guess that drive has to come from the player. The AI don't play very aggressively (or smartly?) but I thought that was a plus, since the campaign is already throwing enough challenges your way.1 found this helpful
Imagine earth is a fun and simple strategy building game. Even though it's simple it has deeper mechanics for those who want to get a high score on its leaderboard. I really like the art style and look of the planets. The campaign and story is nothing crazy but still enjoy able. I played it a lot back when I was doing online schooling. I now sometimes play it for the fun of trying to get a high score on the leaderboard. The only downside is probably the later planets feel kinda the same, I agree and disagree. Most probably get that feeling because you'll be terraforming the planet, so in the end they'll all look the same.

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this, considering it's more of a tile-laying game than a true city-builder, but I ended up picking it up on sale, because why not. I actually had a lot of fun with it! I usually don't get sucked into the story in games like this, but the characters here were really fun.
