Report an issueOuter Empires is a space based massively multi-player online game created for both the iPhone/iPod Touch and desktop browsers.
Every player can create an online persona in a persistent galaxy; from that point on they can choose from a number of different careers to progress through the game. The game is set up in a sandbox style, to allow players to choose how their character develops.
Players will have a variety of options, including: - Fly missions (transport, freight, exploration, bounty) - Set up colonies (Mining, Food Production, Manufacture, Refining and much much more) - Run/join factions (guilds/clans) within the game. - Take control of and fight for systems (either themselves or as part of a faction). - Research new ship items from existing blueprints in the world to create your own product line. - Buy/Mod/Build/Sell ships using a number of variable items that can be created from the manufacture plants players set up. - Trade with other players and the system.
NOTE : This game is an entirely online game and will require an internet connection (Wifi, 3G and EDGE recommended).
**** **** **** PATCH SUBMITTED : Version 1.0.1-15 is with Apple for review to fix a number of crash bugs with the current version. **** **** ****
TouchArcade.com (Preview Quote) "The cool part about Outer Empires is that the game runs both in a browser on your computer, as well as in the app on your iPhone. Accounts are shared between both versions of the game, and you can literally log out in your browser, log in with your iPhone, and be exactly where you left off with all the same functionality of the desktop client on the go."
PocketGamer.co.uk (Preview Quote) "It all begins quite innocently. You're given a small shuttle to flit between star systems allowing you to run odd jobs. Scanning systems and delivering the results to a space station, transporting goods, buying and selling ore as you travel - there are lots of ways to find your space legs and bring in enough credits to buy fuel and supplies." ... "The sheer scale is at once mesmerising and intimidating."
Some things our beta players have said :
"The first real MMORPG for the iPhone and iPod Touch." - Soul
"A multi-faceted, in-depth game that continues to expand and it will hold your interest for many days, not hours due to its enormous size. Complemented by a very attentive Developer team that never sleeps." - Gaius Codex
"There really is no way to describe this game. It is huge. There is no set plan that you have to follow, You can follow your own path in this game. To under stand how big this game is you would have to actually enter it to see just how vast this universe is and how many different avenues there are to pursue." - Blue

8 of 25The app always fails to get character data when logging in, the browser version doesnt even work.
It's incredible for being free a must have for sci fi fans
Best game on iPhone! The galaxy is huge. Very helpful community. Gameplay is very nice.
The game is shutting down...two days after I get the app. Oh well I guess.
Different from any App in a very good way! I was tired of the same app with a different title crap going in in the app store, but this is truly different. Give it a try.
Played a bunch for a week grinding up cash. Took a few days off, came back and my savings was $0. Bullcrap.
Very fun game. It may be a little slow at first, but gets really fun after about a week. This is my new favorite iPhone app! :)
This game has some real potential. Not being a huge fan of grinding, imagine my dismay when, after playing and collecting cash to buy myelf a new ship, I discovered that my assets were reset to zero!! I know I only paid a buck for this, but the time put into it is worth more than that. Fixing the problems would result in a win/win for everyone. That is just my 2 cents, for what it is worth.
