Our take on Empires of the Void II
The turn-based board-game format gives strategy and story choices room to unfold, but sacrifices real-time action. Multiplayer is also no longer supported, leaving single-player as the available mode.
What is Empires of the Void II?
Empires of the Void II is a turn-based sci-fi strategy game adapted from a board game.
Players choose a race and can befriend native species or conquer them. A deck of power cards contains dozens of missions connected to the setting, including rescuing lives from a rampaging creature, kidnapping an enemy leader, and gambling with space pirates. Choices shape each playthrough and its story. The game supports single-player mode. Multiplayer support has ended because player traffic did not justify server maintenance costs.
