Lord of Rigel is an immersive grand strategy adventure set in a galaxy filled with chaos and conflict. Players are tasked with guiding their unique race through tumultuous times, where survival hinges on strategic alliances and the navigation of complex galactic politics. You can choose to form coalitions to withstand looming wars or unlock the secrets of ascension that the ancient races dread.

Inspired by classic 4X games and 90s sci-fi, Lord of Rigel minimizes late-game micromanagement with an innovative colony focus system and automation tools. However, if you prefer hands-on gameplay, engage in real-time tactical combat. Confront rival species, including elder races that consider themselves the galaxy's rightful guardians. Mitigate threats from grand menaces that seek to disrupt your progress, while earning prestige by defending the cosmos against destructive forces.

Shape interstellar politics through trade treaties and alliances, and manage your own shadow empire utilizing espionage to sabotage enemy fleets and steal technology. Choose from ten distinct species, each with unique leaders and traits, to forge your civilization's destiny. Design robust starships, from agile frigates to colossal dreadnoughts, and utilize an array of weapon systems to outmaneuver and conquer foes.
