About
ENDLESS Space™ 2 is a Strategic Space Opera set in a mysterious universe.
Your story unfolds in a galaxy that was first colonized by God-like beings known as the “ENDLESS”, who rose and fell eons ago. All that remains of them are mystical ruins, powerful artifacts, and a strange, near-magical substance known as Dust.
ENDLESS Space™ 2 takes the classic “one more turn” formula to new heights. You will explore mysterious star systems, discover the secrets of ancient races, build colonies on distant planets, exploit trade routes, develop advanced technologies of unthinkable power; and, of course encounter new life forms to understand, to court or to conquer.
As a leader, you have to manage your populations like never before as they react dynamically to your decisions and to their environment, expressing their will through political parties, dictating the laws that your Senate can pass. Will you be a beloved natural leader or will you manipulate your populations to your benefit?
Watch your fighters fly past huge cruisers while lasers rip their hulls apart in epic real-time space battles. Detailed after action reports will help you adapt your strategy for the next confrontations.
Design your ships, assemble your fleets and carefully adapt your battle plans to overcome your enemies. Once you think you’ve done it all, take it online against seven other players.
Immerse yourself in the ENDLESS Universe™. The galaxy belongs to the civilization that controls Dust and uncovers its secrets… but were the ENDLESS alone in the galaxy? What is the true origin of Dust?
Lead one of eight civilizations, each with a unique playstyle affinity and story quest, and build great stellar empires capable of imposing your vision on the Galaxy!
Find out more about the Academy and its powerful cast of Heroes, that you can recruit and train to become fleet admirals, system governors or influential senators.

Vor dem letzten Patch konnte man noch auf "normal" entspannt gewinnen. Nach dem letzten Patch komme ich selbst mit den leichten Fraktionen auf großen Galaxien nicht mehr in die über 100. Runden. Bereits auf dem Schwierigkeitsgrad "Normal" wird man komplett niedergemacht. Piraten gewinnen jedes Gefecht und die KI hat Ressourcen und Schiffe, die echt nicht mehr normal sind. Sowas ist absolut unschön und ich werde nach über 650 Stunden Spielzeit das Spiel löschen, da es unspielbar geworden ist.
A Gorgeous, Asymmetrical 4X Masterpiece (With a Few Black Holes) If you are a fan of 4X strategy games like Civilization or Stellaris, Endless Space 2 offers an incredibly stylish and atmospheric alternative. Amplitude Studios managed to create a sci-fi universe that feels remarkably alive, though it isn't without its technical and mechanical quirks. To give an unbiased look at what works and what holds it back: THE GOOD: - Wildly Unique Factions: This is where the game truly shines. You aren't just playing the same empire with a simple 10% bonus to research. Every faction plays fundamentally differently. The Vodyani are religious space-vampires who live on massive arks, while the Unfallen are giant space-trees that expand their empire by growing literal vines between star systems. - The Best UI in Strategy Gaming: Endless Space 2 is downright beautiful. The user interface is sleek, artistic, and incredibly functional. It presents a massive amount of complex data in a way that is easy to read and satisfying to interact with. - Deep Internal Politics: Unlike many 4X games where your population is just a static happiness meter, here, your empire's internal politics are chaotic and alive. Your citizens will form political parties, protest, and vote for laws based on the events happening in your galaxy. - Stunning Presentation: The cinematic battles are a joy to watch, and the ambient, soaring soundtrack is easily one of the best in the genre. THE BAD: - Hands-Off Combat: If you want deep, tactical fleet command, you will be disappointed. Combat consists of assigning a basic tactic and then watching a cinematic simulation play out. It looks great, but your actual strategic input is very shallow. - End-Game Bugs & Jank: The game suffers from some notorious late-game performance issues. You might run into the dreaded "pending turn" bug where the AI gets stuck calculating, bringing your campaign to a halt. - DLC Bloat: While the base game is fantastic, some of the later DLCs add convoluted systems (like hacking) that feel more like annoying chores than fun mechanics. THE VERDICT: Endless Space 2 is an absolute must-play for 4X fans who value atmosphere, narrative, and incredibly distinct faction mechanics. It is heavily focused on economy, politics, and exploration rather than deep military tactics. As long as you don't mind a hands-off combat system and the occasional late-game bug, you can easily sink hundreds of hours into painting this gorgeous galaxy in your colors. I highly recommend it.
I am not good at 4X games, but I love them. This one in particular is a favorite. Each faction actually has a quest line that can usually branch in 2 or more ways, giving a narrative hook as well as the mechanical reason to play each one. I love that. This interface should be the standard for these types of games. After playing this, right click to back out of the current menu is just so natural that every other game feels clunky without it. Most of the factions play pretty differently. Some are more similar than others, but there is tons of variety.
а вы чего игру для ру региона то открыли?) забыли что ли про Z O V? приятно видеть как очередной издатель навернул ложку собственных фекалий и дал заднюю))))
Can't go wrong with 4x even though bugs still exist years later and it's now run by virtue-signalling soulless corpos. Mods are required but the movers and shakers of those communities are also not worth the time. Shame.
this is just a worse version of Endless Space 1 with a new coat of paint, diplomacy is a waste of time and frankly exhausting, multiple features are very unbalanced or absolutely redundant
Начал играть, максимально во флот можно поставить 4 корабля, создал 3 флота по 4 корабля поехал в систему к пиратам, и что вы думаете я могу с ними драться только одним флотом. Далее в отличие от других игр подобного жанра, за 56 ходов я получил 2 героя поставил их на системы, соответственно флоты усилить ими не могу. Разведал систему идти дальше разведывать не могу пираты не пускают, тупо жму следующий ход жду когда прокачаются технологии а они качаются по одной, тоесть ждать и щелкать следующий ход вы будете вечность, затем вам пишут например что вы открыли какуюто приблуду на планете в которой будут рождаться герои как ее посмотреть где она вообще ни чего не видно, это вы просто должны запомнить. В итоге еле еле спилил пиратов, и так понял что даже если вас побили флоты чинить не надо. Начал дальше ждать прокачки технологии нажимая следующий ход, и игра вообще крякнулась, подумал что за чушь и удалил.
Yes. It's really good - story, atmosphere, design, gameplay, voice acting, everything. But damn the combat sucks so bad because there's none of it. I would have killed for Endless Space 2 to have the same fighting system as Humankind or Endless Legend.
No, not overly. You spend way to much time in a mod only to have it crash and be unplayable. Sure its on me for using the mods, but Shift select crashes everthing, Nah Nah thats not acceptable, Stellaris is sinking you on all fronts guys, Edit: Its only gotten worst after a year, Buy it on discount but be prepared to be bored after a while
Після зрозумілої та елегантної першої частини ти ніби опиняєшся у симуляторі таблиць в таблицях. Усі механіки заглибили, з'явилося купа підмеханік, але виглядає це надто громіздко та перевантажено. Через це перевантажений і інтерфейс. Додали якісь обов'язкові квести у яких не можна не приймати участь. Гра працює невиправдано погано на Steamdeck Oled. Ходи тривають вічність, присутні фрізи, статтери. Також відсутня українська мова. Повертаюся у першу частину.
