Falling Stars: War of Empires is a fast-paced turn based strategy game where each decision you make forces the game to evolve differently every time you play. Inspired by board games like Twilight Imperium and Eclipse, you command hundreds of ships in battle, resolve intricate political agendas, and discover the deep interplanetary relations of the galaxy. With customization options for galaxy size, galaxy resources, technology advancement rate, victory conditions, game length, and more, you can choose how you want to play the game. Game lengths can range from 1 hour, to 40 (or more) hours.






Utilizing similar mechanics to popular 4x board games, Falling Stars mixes the deep strategy and dynamic rule set of a board game with the vast scope and complexity of a video game.




The original soundtrack, composed by Nolan Markey, who interned and later worked for Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary, (Agents of Shield, The Walking Dead, Outlander), and currently serves as orchestrator for Disney's Star Wars Rebels, brings you right into the space opera universe of Falling Stars.

I think everyone is looking forward to Stellaris, but the only thing this really shares with it is that it's in space. This is a turn-based strategy game that can be finished in a single sitting, or go on for days, more like a really complex board game.

Oh god, another space 4x game, they're like MOBAS but for single player.

Well to be fair, there's a difference between the 4x "master of orion" clones, and the rest of the pack. Obviously, most people copy what is successful but this is more of a pure-strategy game than space empire simulation. Here's the full playlist from the video above that goes over that. It's much more about decision making than "how many things can I do at once" like the typical 4x.
