Unending Galaxy

The game lacks depth and variety, making the gameplay feel dull and repetitive over time.

Unending Galaxy is an older game from 2016. It's a venerable 9 years old at the time of this review. And wow, doesn't it look promising? A hybrid 4X and Asteroids/SpaceWar! game with a feature list that makes Star Control look like Space Invaders. Unfortunately it's a broken promise, maybe a case of the developers biting off way more than they can chew. And the technical implmentation isn't so great either.. this doesn't look much better than the (completely free) Star Control 2 Remaster (The Ur-Quan Masters). Unfortunately bad looks are just the tip of the iceberg. Let's get into why this failed. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. It's apparent that little to no testing for the game was done, at least on modern gaming PCs. In fullscreen, the game doesn't display properly, with the game area drawn outside the viewable space. This is caused by the developer not bothering to ensure the game works on resolutions over 1080p, with very high resolution monitors that use resolution scaling. Because the game area is not drawn correctly, it doesn't map to the mouse pointer properly, so the game …

Unending Galaxy, developed and published by Anarkis Gaming, is an ambitious 2D space sandbox that blends elements of simulation, real-time strategy, and light 4X design into a single open-ended experience. Rather than guiding players through a scripted storyline, it drops them into a living galaxy and allows them to define their own trajectory. Whether you aspire to become a humble trader, a feared pirate, a corporate magnate, or the ruler of a growing interstellar faction, the game’s core strength lies in the freedom it offers and the scale of its simulated universe. The experience begins modestly, with the player piloting a small ship and scraping together resources through contracts, trading, mining, or combat. Early progression revolves around survival and gradual accumulation of wealth. As income grows, so does opportunity. Players can acquire larger vessels, recruit additional ships into their fleet, and eventually construct stations or colonies. Over time, the scope shifts from individual piloting to macro-level management, transforming the game from a space adventure into a strategic empire-building simulation. This gradual expansion of responsibility is one of the game’s …

I dont think its a bad game, it was pretty fun when i played it. Honestly good game, but i think the game dev got cucked by the engine. Hopefully he revisits the premise one day.

add the 25% slower mod and this game is basicly x4/x3 2d version

This game had worked on a previous machine, but I can't get it to work on my current PC. The dev has stated that development has ceased.
