WHAT THE PRESS SAYS

Stellaris has a new challenger in ’90s inspired space 4X game Beyond Astra. […] The result is something that feels very akin to those genre icons, but with smart, modern design and a bold, vibrant art style.

This is how only God gets to see the universe.

It looks roughly as if someone took the space part of Spore and made a strategy game out of it.

One world becomes a galaxy.
You begin with a single city on an uncharted planet. Beyond its atmosphere waits a galaxy brimming with life, ancient mysteries, and dangers to match, and all of it is one continuous space. Zoom from your streets to the galactic map in a single motion: no loading screens, no waiting.

Beyond Astra is a real-time sci-fi 4X with active pause: grand strategy, planetary city-building, and tactical RTS battles in one game.

Build directly on the surfaces of living 3D planets, then pull back past your fleets in orbit until your first planet is one world among hundreds. An empire of a hundred worlds never means a hundred chores: the galaxy runs in real time, but active pause lets you think rather than race. City templates carry your know-how from world to world.

A TANGIBLE, LIVING UNIVERSE

Grand strategy you can touch. Cities grow street by street. Resources are localized and hauled by real cargo ships, along trade lanes you build yourself. Diplomacy happens on the ground, through your envoys. You govern billions of citizens whose jobs, journeys, opinions, and beliefs evolve on their own: adapt to their aspirations, or shape their ideologies, and your worlds will answer.

SIX WAYS TO WIN

War is only one of them. Unite your people’s faith to perform true miracles, corner every market, outpace every rival in research, or forge the federation that rallies half the galaxy. Science, Culture, Religion, Economy, Diplomacy, Military, and every path feeds the others: a single tourist city fills your treasury with foreign credits, and sends its visitors home with new opinions, sometimes a new faith.

Crystalline beings that grow by devouring minerals. Hives that turn every harvest into more of the hive. Eight playable civilizations, each running on its own logic, across 24 distinct world types.

WAGE WAR ON YOUR TERMS

Fight tactical RTS battles on planetary surfaces and in space, driven by real ballistics: every shot has a trajectory, so positioning wins fights, not clicks per second. Design your own units and tune their behaviors. And when an orbital bombardment rains down, it falls on real streets, sometimes yours. Rival empires, megafauna, and galactic crises grow alongside you.

HOW TWO PEOPLE BUILT A SEAMLESS GALAXY

No commercial engine was built to simulate an ever-evolving galaxy with hundreds of visitable worlds and zero loading screens, so we spent six years rewriting the core of one until it could.

HUNDREDS OF VISITABLE WORLDS

One continuous map, hundreds of planets you can descend to, and fleets in motion everywhere at once. Custom multi-threading keeps all of it running without a loading screen in sight.

ARMIES THAT WALK ON A SPHERE

Pathfinding is instant across the curved surface of every planet, so your units move around a world instead of across a flat grid. A single planet can hold several of your cities.

EVERY SHOT HAS A REAL TRAJECTORY

Nothing you see on screen is decoration. Every projectile is a real object with a real trajectory: it is fired, it travels, and it lands in the world you are looking at. That is why a missile can be shot down in mid-flight, and why where you place your guns decides a battle more than how fast you click.
