Galactic Civilizations 4 v2.94 (upd.30.01.2025)

Overview

Each new challenge builds on the previous one and forces on the scale of a changing galaxy to adapt to the situation or act contrary to space etiquette. In addition to single storytelling, strategy is also available in multiplayer mode on the global map, you will have to interact almost continuously with space stations and planets, hold diplomatic meetings and fight opponents that appear on the way. As in Missions, there is a choice of factions, preferred tools and starting bonuses that affect the development and speed of entering the battle for the galaxy. Multiplayer is available in several formats: in addition to rating fights, there are also practice fights, as well as closed lobbies with invited friends and allies in case you want to hold a kind of tactical party.

The strategy has also been added from a graphical point of view the world looks alive, and the characters and part-time representatives of the factions have noticeably added in variety and detail. In addition to people on the screen, there are navigators resembling huge caterpillars with 8 legs, and synthetic organisms that combine biotechnology and artificially grown organs. Competitors in the genre are hardly able to demonstrate something similar, especially with such fine-tuning of the world and the ability to fly through the entire galaxy, capturing other people’s ships, gaining experience and relying on brute force or eloquence skills.
