About
Nexus Legacy is a persistent online space strategy game about rebuilding civilization after the fall of the Nexus.
Start with a single planet, develop your economy, expand across the galaxy, research advanced technologies, build fleets, spy on rivals, raid vulnerable worlds, and fight for control of strategic regions. Every planet matters. Every fleet movement has a cost. Every mistake can become someone else’s opportunity.
The game is inspired by classic browser space strategies, but built with a modern approach: deeper logistics, commanders, planetary defense, espionage, piracy, alliances, markets, expeditions, wormholes, and long-term seasonal progression.
Build Your Empire
Develop mines, laboratories, shipyards, orbital infrastructure, colonies, moons, outposts, and sector stations. Your economy grows with every new colony, but expansion also increases the number of borders you must defend.
Command Your Fleets
Design fleets for different purposes: scouting, raiding, transport, defense, expedition, mining, siege, and alliance operations. A powerful fleet is not always the right fleet. Cargo capacity, travel time, fuel cost, range, escort composition, and target intelligence all matter.
Research Your Future
Unlock new buildings, ships, military systems, economic upgrades, logistics tools, and late-game technologies. Early progress is fast, but higher levels demand real investment and planning.
Spy, Raid, Defend
Information is a weapon. Use espionage to discover resources, fleets, defenses, and weaknesses before committing your ships. Launch attacks to break fleets and infrastructure, or raids to extract resources with ground forces and specialized support ships.
Join the Political Game
Form alliances, coordinate attacks, defend allies, trade resources, compete for territory, and participate in the shifting balance of power across multiple universes.
Explore the Unknown
Send fleets into expeditions, pirate zones, deep space anomalies, wormholes, and dangerous regions where risk and reward are never fully predictable.
Fair Monetization
Nexus Legacy does not sell resources, fleet power, combat boosts, or instant progress. Paid options focus on convenience, account services, cosmetics, and supporting development without turning strategy into a wallet contest.
A Living Universe
The galaxy keeps moving even when you log off. Fleets travel, colonies grow, rivals scout, alliances plan, and wars unfold over hours, days, and seasons. Nexus Legacy is built for players who enjoy long-term strategy, calculated risks, and the quiet satisfaction of seeing a plan come together.

Well, after more than 1,000 hours in this game, I think I have at least enough knowledge to write this review. The game started out being incredibly fun, but after countless bad decisions by the dev, hundreds and hundreds of communication issues, questionable decisions, server problems... the list of issues is so, so long that honestly, it’s not even worth the time I’d have to spend writing it all down. The Server 1 end event was bad — really bad. People literally won after sharing an account that had previously been banned from a completely different server. The end-of-game event has been even worse: terrible decisions from the dev, terrible balancing, terrible everything. It honestly makes me really sad, because this game had incredible potential, and the dev has completely killed it. The only good thing it still has nowadays is the community — talking to people, hanging out, and all that. But it’s definitely not worth, not even remotely, the insane amount of hours you need to invest if you actually want to accomplish anything, let alone climb very high in the rankings. Such a shame. I genuinely enjoyed this game a lot, but clearly, in its current state, it has become unbearable.

Ich habe das Spiel jetzt wirklich ausführlich gespielt, bin einer Allianz beigetreten und habe wirklich ernsthaft versucht an die starken Spieler anzuschließen. Sobald man aber die sichere Zone verlässt wird man gnadenlos von den Spielern der 3 größten Allianzen einfach abgefarmt. Da kommen die mal eben mit 500 Schlachtschiffen, die ich noch nicht mal bauen kann, und holen sich was sie wollen. Und das jeden zweiten Tag. Es gibt keinen Krieg zwischen unseren Allianzen, trotzdem wird man immer wieder abgefarmt. Der Countdown für eine Defensive ist auch derartige kurz, dass keine Zeit bleibt seine Verteidigung zu ordnen oder geordnet zu fliehen. Abnormal ist auch das der Angreifer, eine entsprechend große Streitmacht vorausgesetzt, keinerlei Verluste hat. Ich frage mich wirklich warum ich so viel Zeit und Ressourcen geopfert habe um Verteidigungsstellungen zu bauen.....es bringt einfach gar nichts. Ich empfinde jedenfalls keine Motivation darin von den großen als Spielball genutzt zu werden.
Was a good game, is not anymore. The past 2 days in a row, first 3-4 hours of gameplay i earned a ok amount of additional things, the remaining 1-12 hours i was just mostly empty space, and yes that is empty space as in nothing extra gained, so the game is now guttet beyond repair, into a serious lackluster of a game, wich is a shame since it was a good game when i started playing. Not sure why this developer don't see the need to reward players for spending time playing the game, so a player might want to keep playing. If i have to rate this game it will be a generous 3/5, and only as i did have a lot of fun with it and played many hours every day the first weeks after i started.
This is what a Paradox game should look like
Full of bugs and ingame glitches, if dont sit near all day 0-24 is unplayable in this status
Also leider ist doch etwas PAY TO WIN drin. Hält sich aber in Grenzen! 1. einen Flotten Slot mehr...finde ich nicht als großen Vorteil 2. einen Händler wo man Ressourcen mit 5% Verlust tauschen kann, ABER der Tausch selber hat auch nochmal einen Faktor....man kann also nicht 1 zu 1 tauschen...ist schon hilfreich, alderings man kann sich theoretisch unendlich viele Händler kaufen...das ist nicht gut Besser wären hier Übersichten, andere Skins, Effekte usw... Vor allen die Übersichten...Welcher Planet baut/forscht/schickt Flotte usw.... Ansonsten finde ich es extrem schwierig...es wird kaum was erklärt! Vor allem Piraten Wurmlöcher Anomalien...Was wann wie ...keine Chance und zu viele Variablen und man muss sich die Zeit nehmen sich auf allen Plattformen austauschen....mehr als das man eigentlich spielt. Und man kann auch keine Ressourcen saven und ist entweder nur PVP Opfer oder nur der , der es ausnutzt... Am besten im grünen Bereich bleiben..... Deswegen Daumen runter...UND weil Spieler grundlos gesperrt werden und der "Support" sich nicht kümmert!!! Ein Spiel ohne Support ist des Todes liebe Entwickler! Deswegen Account HEUTE gelöscht....
星系地图太黑了,根本看不到未知星系。。
Muy buen juego de gestión, en español y gratis. No esperes un Age of empires o un civilization del espacio, aquí solo gestionas a base de clics y tiempo. Las investigaciones o construcciones duran minutos, horas o incluso días, es lo mas parecido a un IDLE, lo dejas de fondo mientras haces otras cosillas y listo. Para ser los mas certero posible, es un EVE pero en IDLE. Tiene minería, comercio, investigación, invasiones, clanes, naves, población, construcciones... Tiene mucha profundidad, buen apartado artístico y buena música. Al principio hay que leer bien los consejos de ayudantes para tener una ruta a seguir, y que avance la "historia" un poco. Genial chavales, GRACIAS por el ESPAÑOL!! :D
I've only been playing Nexus Legacy for a couple of days, but I'm already impressed enough to leave a review. The game entered free Early Access on Steam on June 5, 2026, and it's completely free to play. The developers have also confirmed it will remain free after the full release, which is expected in about a year. And the best part? No pay-to-win, no selling resources, combat boosts, or speed-ups for real money, only cosmetics. That alone made me want to give it a shot. What I've Discovered So Far I started with a single planet and have been slowly building it up - constructing mines and upgrading research lab. Even in these early stages, I can already feel the depth. Every building choice matters, and resources don't come easy, so you have to think before you click. I've also sent out a few reconnaissance missions and started exploring nearby systems. The interface is clean and straightforward, which I really appreciate, it didn't take long to figure out the basics, even without a tutorial. The fleet mechanics also seem promising. I've read that you can customize your fleet composition for specific tasks, reconnaissance, transport, siege, defense and even factors like cargo capacity and fuel consumption matter. I haven't gotten there yet, but it already makes me excited to keep playing. About the Graphics Yes, the graphics are minimalistic. It's mostly menus, text, and static images. Some artwork is AI-generated, and there's almost no animation. But honestly, for a browser-style strategy game like this, it doesn't bother me at all. The focus is on planning and decision-making, not flashy visuals. For a new player like me, it actually helps me concentrate on what matters - learning the game. Final Thoughts I've only scratched the surface, but I already see huge potential here. It's a slow-burn strategy game that rewards patience and thought, and I appreciate that in a time when so many games are fast-paced and shallow. If you enjoy space strategy and don't mind the minimalist style, give it a try - especially since it's free.
i would not recommend this game has it is too drug out.. wastes too much time for little to no reward
