Free multiplayer online strategy game set in space where players compete to expand their empire and conquer the galaxy
Neptune's Pride 2 is a free, multiplayer online strategy game set in a procedurally generated galaxy with a retro pixel art style. Players take the role of an emerging space empire aiming to expand across the stars and achieve galactic domination over their opponents.
At the start of each new game, players colonize their homeworld and send out colony ships to claim unoccupied star systems, which provide more resources and territory to build up one's interstellar empire. Stars can be upgraded with infrastructure like factories, banks, and research labs to produce ships, wealth, and technology respectively. Players construct different types of military ships like scouts, bombers, and battleships to explore, attack enemies, and defend their own stars.
The core gameplay revolves around managing an empire, initiating battles with rivals, forging alliances when mutually beneficial, and ultimately prevailing over all others in the race to rule the galaxy. Diplomacy via in-game chat and messaging allows for dynamic rivalries, tense standoffs, or opportunistic partnerships to emerge. Games require plotting courses, amassing fleets, surveying the map, and coordinating multi-pronged assaults over days or weeks of continuous play.
As an online multiplayer experience lasting anywhere from a week to a month per 45-60 hour game, Neptune's Pride 2 compels players to regularly sign in, check notifications, and issue orders even while opponents plot their own moves. TheKlenescope Games promises enhancements over the original Neptune's Pride like an improved user interface and streamlined mechanics while retaining the core strategic space opera appeal.
