FreeOrion

What is FreeOrion?

The FreeOrion game transports players to a vast, customizable galaxy where they can build and lead an interstellar civilization, vying for dominance over rival empires. Through a turn-based framework, users strategically manage their planet-based economies, research technologies, design and deploy spacecraft, and navigate diplomatic and military conflicts to expand their reach across the stars. With a focus on emergent gameplay, FreeOrion offers a highly replayable experience as no two playthroughs are alike, empowering players to forge their own paths to galactic supremacy through unique playstyles and decision-making. Drawing inspiration from the beloved Master of Orion series, this community-driven project aims to deliver an immersive, open-source 4X space simulation that captures the spirit of classic 4X titles while incorporating modern design and customization features
