A vicious crab-like alien species almost wiped out humanity in the Milky Way, precipitating a mass migration to a new galaxy (Andromeda). You lead one of the galactic empires that formed in Andromeda, and you must secure your empire’s future now that Warpgates have opened up new galaxies to explore. Over the course of Ascending Empires, you’ll occupy and build on new planets, exploit resources to develop new tech, and attack other empires. Movement and combat are enacted by flicking your Starships.
