A new week, a new chance to conquer certain planets. That’s right readers, the 4X Galactic Civilizations III space strategy game is available for free on the Epic Games Store for next week. Definitely to consider if the idea of colonizing an entire galaxy for precisely zero pounds interests you.
If you are not familiar with Galactic Civilizations III, it is a 4X strategy game in which you explore a huge galaxy, meet alien races, navigate tense negotiations, start some wars and research new technologies. All with the aim of transforming your nascent civilization into a power of planetary conquest.
Galaxy Civilizations III has been out for a while now, but it still feels like a solid experience for those who want a sci-fi 4X with plenty of lasting decisions to make. Our Adam Smith (RPS at peace) gave him a sacred badge recommended by the RPS in his review Galactic Civilizations III.
“If you are interested in the mathematics of its systems, or in creating an efficient empire of space robots, GalCiv III may be ideal. It’s a game that rewards understanding of its deeper mechanics. That said, it’s also an AI game that remains interesting campaign after campaign, and manages to communicate the complexity and majesty of interstellar government.
Over the years since launch, Galactic Civilizations III has certainly not been short of expansions and mods. However, it should be noted that you will not get any extensions with the free version. Still, if you end up loving the game, it’s good to know that there are plenty of other add-ons to sink your teeth into.
Galactic Civilizations III is free on the Epic Games Store until 4 p.m. on Thursday, January 28.
