About
Get ready to explore, discover and interact with a multitude of species as you journey among the stars. Forge a galactic empire by sending out science ships to survey and explore, while construction ships build stations around newly discovered planets. Discover buried treasures and galactic wonders as you spin a direction for your society, creating limitations and evolutions for your explorers. Alliances will form and wars will be declared.
Like all our Grand Strategy games, the adventure evolves with time. Because free updates are a part of any active Paradox game, you can continue to grow and expand your empire with new technologies and capabilities. What will you find beyond the stars? Only you can answer that.
Stellaris now includes the base game, three expansion packs, and a collection of digital goods.
Stellaris: Chart a vast, procedurally generated galaxy where every star system holds a new mystery to uncover or an alien civilization to encounter. Forge a unique empire: from your first warp jump to galactic domination, you decide whether the universe remembers you as a benevolent pioneer or a relentless conqueror.
Utopia: Unlock the full potential of your empire with this expansion focused on the evolution of society. Whether you're building mega-structures or ascending to a higher plane of existence, Utopia helps you create a future that’s as bright as the stars themselves.
Synthetic Dawn Story Pack: Take command of a Machine Empire and reshape the galaxy in your own image. Will you lead your mechanical creations to peaceful coexistence, or will the rise of synthetic life spell the end for organics?
Humanoids Species Pack: the most-played phenotype now gains more variety with unique civics and a new origin. Along with their own unique ship class, new portraits, and more, there’s never been a better time to explore the future of humanity.
And on top of this, the Digital Collector’s Book, a Signed Wallpaper, a Unique Forum Avatar and Icon!
Every game begins with a civilization that has just discovered the means to travel between stars and is ready to explore the galaxy. Have your science ships survey and explore anomalies, leading you into a myriad of quests, introducing strange worlds with even stranger stories and discoveries that may completely change your outcome.
With characteristically complex unique planets and celestial bodies, you will enter a whirlwind of spectacles in a highly detailed universe.
Through customization and procedural generation, you will encounter infinitely varied races. Choose positive or negative traits, specific ideologies, limitations, evolutions or anything you can imagine. Interact with others through the advanced diplomacy system. Diplomacy is key in a proper grand strategy adventure. Adjust your strategy to your situation through negotiation and skill.
An eternal cycle of war, diplomacy, suspicions and alliances await you. Defend or attack with fully customizable war fleets, where adaptation is the key to victory. Choose from an array of complex technologies when designing and customizing your ships with the complex ship designer. You have a multitude of capabilities to choose from to meet the unknown quests that await.
Grow and expand your empire with thousands of randomly generated planet types, galaxies, quests and monsters lurking in space.
Customize your Empire! The characters you choose, be it a murderous mushroom society or an engineering reptile race, can be customized with traits like ethics, type of technology, form of preferred space travel, type of habitat, philosophies and more. The direction of the game is based on your choices.

I bought the game on sale and i thought would not run on my pc it did 64 hours later I became the galactic imperium and was having the time of my life 10/10 good game will play more even up to 200 hours if did not have a life last last minute edit because steam is weird it says that i only played for 50 or so hours on the reivew but my steam library says 64 i do not know what happended their
This is a great game for many reasons. Despite the rather DLC intensive and expensive habits of Paradox, the game is actually pretty good. It is great if you like a blend of strategy, roleplay, and worldbuilding. I would recommend grabbing it on sale though, it is a little expensive and you have to buy like $300 in dlcs to get EVERYTHING, so I would wait for a steam sale or something.

Отличная игра для развития стратегического и тактического мышления, 10 порабощенных ксеносов из 10
优：入门简单精通困难，保留了策略游戏的深度的同时更加轻量化，MOD社区丰富，内容量大管饱 劣：DLC贵容易被刺（正版受害者），平衡目前很烂(T槽打天下)，部分内容深度还是不够（什么叫换皮起源？干脆改名特质算了），BUG多，优化堪忧 评：泛用性一般，对策性极强极强极强，DPS够格，super big cup！

"I want to make a hive mind, all-devouring plant empire" "I want to make an isolationist, high-tech empire, like Wakanda. Make the empire's races filled with ducks and called it Wakanduck" "I want to make an intergalactic megacorp of my favorite fast food chain" "I want to make a religious galactic empire who carries pre-sapient species to new planets, like Prophet Noah but in space" "I want to make an evil, high-tech empire who sacrifices other species for research" I keep coming back to this game everytime I get a new idea on galactic empires.
complex, lots of things happening at once
