About Empyrion - Galactic Survival

Empyrion - Galactic Survival poster

Empyrion - Galactic Survival is a true space sandbox that combines elements of space simulation, construction games, survival titles and first-person shooters into one adventure. This indie release lets you construct mighty capital vessels, sprawling planetary settlements and vast space stations as you journey across the galaxy to uncover its mysteries, giving PC players enormous freedom in how they build and explore.

Construction is limited only by imagination. You can piece together fighters, capital ships, settlements and stations block by block anywhere you like, or download pre-built community blueprints from the Steam Workshop and customize them to taste. The voxel-based terrain adds another dimension, letting you fully deform any planet's surface to flatten ground for a settlement, dig for resources or carve out protective tunnel systems in genuine sandbox fashion.

Exploration spans a vast and varied universe, with warp travel connecting a huge range of planets, moons and far-flung star systems, each carrying its own gravity, atmosphere, terrain, climate, resources and lifeforms to survive and study. The experience deepens further through an ocean of player-made content, including thousands of blueprints and mods that introduce entirely new scenarios and items. For survival and building enthusiasts, Empyrion delivers a sprawling galactic playground that keeps expanding.
