At the heart of Beyond Astra is deep customization. You can design your species to thrive under varied climates, gravity, and atmospheric conditions, while also tailoring your civilization’s political regime, government, leader, and visual identity. Every decision matters as you build cities and construct space stations, manage an intricate economy, and oversee logistics, budgets, and trade networks across the galaxy.

The game offers an array of strategic layers. Build armies on the ground, design advanced spaceships, and deploy orbital units to wage epic battles both on planetary surfaces and in space. Whether you choose to conquer, negotiate, or collaborate, your military, diplomatic, and political decisions will forge alliances, spark rivalries, or even ignite revolutions depending on how you use your influence within the galactic community.

Research plays a key role in your success, with extensive science trees that unlock technologies to enhance your buildings, armies, and ships. At the same time, cultural and religious pathways allow you to promote ideologies and spread state cults that offer unique bonuses and can be pivotal in achieving one of the game's seven victory conditions. From economic to military, scientific to cultural, diplomatic to religious, and score-based triumphs, every path to victory is open to your strategic vision.

Explore a continuously evolving galaxy filled with hundreds of worlds, celestial bodies, and mysterious life forms. Beyond Astra pushes the boundaries of traditional 4X gameplay with cutting-edge technology that handles billions of citizens, real-time unit pathfinding, customizable ship components, and fully simulated galactic warfare. Developed as a passion project by a solo developer, the game invites you to shape the future of your civilization and share your journey in this immersive space odyssey.
