Something off?
Report an issueDistant Star is an old-school 4x (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) space game, similar to Master of Orion or Sword of the Stars. Build up your fleet and conquer the galaxy -- will your empire be an economic powerhouse, a technological wonder, or a military superpower? Or all three?

8 of 25But this is apparently someones serious attempt to make a game. Yikes, better luck next time. Too limited in scope and poor AI. You get the feeling that the AI has to cheat like crazy to compete. Still waiting for promised features.
This game hasn't been updated in fooorreeever.
This game is quite fun, but I'd like to see more races available. Also, it be good if the opponents behaved like you, needing to research technology and probe your system to know your location. A difficulty setting would also be nice.
It's been 5 years since the last update apparently and still no extra races. Very unfortunate
Such a fun strategy game. I would give 5 stars if the game was updated with new races and tech trees. This is the only app i want to get updated.
Hay if you kept up developing this game you would make tons or you can let it die off
This game could be amazing. But the AI is nothing but aggressive, there needs to be more tech and ships. The way for this game to be an editors pick is updates, updates, updates.
Great game wish the revs remembered it
