So what’s your poison: space MMO or space MOBA? Either way, you’ll find that the up-and-coming Galaxicus wants to sate your interstellar appetite. The game came onto the scene this month and purports to be a space empire building game that can accommodate up to 10,000 players at a time.

The hook here is that players will be able to engage in either a limited or widespread mode. The academy is a two to five-player MOBA-like experience that boasts both PvE and PvP versions, while wars are four-week events where the community dukes it out over five million star citizens. By resetting the board at the end of the month, the devs hope to establish equality of a sort among players.

Then there will be this: “At the conclusion of each year, top winners will be able to fight in the War of the Galaxies, with the top prize — the title of Emperor — going to the last player standing.”

War of the Galaxies, eh? Should probably shorten that down to “Star Wars” or something.

The galaxy is divided into four regions of space:
– Core is the center of the empire, colonies established are heavily taxed

– Rim is the space between the core and the frontier, taxes to the empire are less but will place a burden on the colony

– Frontier space is beyond the empires political reach allowing colonies to grow as large as possible

– Qhigell space covers several regions allowing players the ability to battle AI controled ships and planets at any time to gain skill and resources

Two ways to play Galaxicus MOBA and MMO

Academy

PVP: Player created battles that are designed to last an hour between two teams of 2, 3 or 5 players.

PVE: Practice battles of 2, 3 or 5 players vs the Qhigell a race of beings equal to our own.  Galaxicus is NOT a PvE type of game, the academy’s goal is to practice your skills.

Wars

Wars are four week games of up to 10,000 players in a 2.6 billion square light year arena of over 5 million star systems.
Players form teams to compete for resources to gain titles and ultimately become the President or Emperor of the Galaxy
