“Fans of 4X strategy games have been waiting impatiently for Galactic Civilizations to hit store shelves,” says Steve Milburn, Director of Marketing for Strategy First. “Gal Civ is a truly immersive game experience that lets you manage an entire galaxy putting your military, strategic and diplomatic talents to the test!”

The Fate of the Galaxy is in Your Hands

The year is 2178 and the galaxy is evolving at an alarming pace. Years ago, human scientists introduced a new technology, the “Hyper-drive”, which vastly improved interstellar travel, but instead of forging closer bonds throughout the galaxy, communication between civilizations has ground to a halt. Colonization and a battle for supremacy have become the primary goals but only one race can dominate…and survive.
