Osiris is a sci-fi 4X game revolving around humanity's first forays into deep space. From one planet, players expand their empire by developing technology that allows them to explore further and further afield. Starting from the Sol system, players send out probes and explorers, in real time, to explore the universe. Other races can be discovered and communicated with, as the universe is slowly revealed. Unlike many turn-based 4x games, Osiris runs in real time, forcing players to make the decision on the fly. As players discover destinations further and further afield, they may expand their empire more and more. As players expand their nations, they must deal not only with supply routes and more territory to defend, but instability. Citizens can become dissatisfied with their rule and revolt, splitting and creating independent nations. At the same time, humanity has to also contend with whatever civilizations or creatures they encounter. Many situations can occur that will affect the universe - such as the detonation of a star, or the spreading of a galaxy-wide plague.
Features Include:
Ever-Changing Universe: Watch as the universe adapts and changes according to the decisions made by both the player and AI factions - everything has an equal and opposite reaction.
Beyond the Frontier: Experience the thrill of discovering new and exotic locations with deadly hazards or valuable resources, then harness attributes of planets to develop your existing technology.
