IGG has prepared an overview of their recently announced strategic game, Galaxy Online, which introduces players to the world and the game's concept.

Galaxy Online is a massive real-time strategy game set in the vast expanses of the universe.

The game design is very flexible, allowing players a great amount of freedom in dictating where they go and what they do. Players can find new planets, study their resources and decide, how and when to utilize them to their advantage. However, players must remember they are not alone in the galaxy and they must compete with other players for these resources. You can lead the simple and exciting life of a businessman, assessing profit and loss from material resources, or lead a fleet of warships into battle to expand your inter-galactic empire.

While most MMORPGs confine their players to a strict set of rules, and a highly structured gaming environment, Galaxy Online takes the opposite approach. We set down the basic rules of operation and let players discover the rest. Adventures, battles, exploration and more are all left to the players to discover for themselves. Concepts like character levels, experience gained, and others do not retain the same significance, instead, a higher priority is placed on strategy and success, whether economically or militarily. Before players can begin to develop a planet, they must consider how to efficiently exploit the planets resources, how to use those resources, and how to protect those resources. Careful consideration must always be taken or your empire may fall.
