Empyrion – Galactic Survival is a true space sandbox survival adventure that uniquely combines elements from space simulations, construction games, survival games and first-person shooters. Construct mighty capital vessels, sprawling planetary settlements, and vast space stations in your galactic journey to discover the mysteries of Empyrion!
Build mighty capital vessels, agile fighters, vast planetary settlements, and space stations with complete freedom; piece by piece, anywhere you want – or download pre-built community blueprints from the Steam Workshop and customize them with your own ideas!
Fully modify and deform the terrain on any planet. Thanks to the voxel-based terrain, you can flatten it for your planetary settlement, dig holes to find resources, or build a tunnel system to protect yourself. Empyrion is a true sandbox game!
A vast galaxy awaits you. Warp and fly between a huge variety of planets, moons, and far-flung star systems. Freely explore the surface of each planet, with its own gravity, atmosphere, terrain, vegetation, climate, resources, and more. Survive its flora and fauna, and discover the secrets of alien races.
Elevate your experience with an ocean of player-made blueprints for vessels and settlements, along with mods that provide completely new scenarios and items.
To survive in space and on alien planets, you must plan with ingenuity and caution. Food, oxygen, resources, and ammo are essential. Hunt, forage, and plant a garden to sustain yourself. While some beings you encounter will be peaceful, others will destroy you given any opportunity. Come prepared with a range of weaponry and defensive measures.
Play as a lone wolf in single player or join the multiplayer community. Team-up with friends, build new friendships, create alliances, and wage war. Build yourself a comfortable home in a well-protected PvE area and face the dangers of PvP planets and conquer the solar system with your faction.
Learn how to combine resources and building materials to craft your equipment. Craft on the move or in your base and equip your buildings and vessels with a range of different weapons and gadgets. As you perform various activities, level up and unlock new tech in the tech tree!
Fuel your crafting and construction projects by digging deep into planets for rich deposits or drilling through asteroids full of rare ore. Scavenge alien buildings and other structures you come across for additional resources.
Forget food, resources, and enemies and just build. Create wonders with absolute freedom and then share them with the creative community by uploading them to the Steam Workshop!
