With the price set to €39,99 / £34,99 for the Standard Edition and €49,99 / £44,99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, Endless Space 2 is not exactly the cheapest game ever to hit Steam Early Access. Nonetheless the new strategy title from Amplitude will be made available today through the service.

"Set in the same universe as Endless Space and Endless Legend, Endless Space 2 is a turn-based, 4X space-strategy game in which players lead one of the many intelligent factions of the Endless universe at the beginning of the space colonization age," developer Amplitude Studios writes in a press release, before highlighting the Early Access features:

Endless Space 2 Early Access Features:
• Four Factions: Players can pick a race and build colonies from the first four asymmetric factions available: Sophons, Voydani, Cravers, and Lumeris. A total of eight factions, including one that is entirely created by the community, are planned for the full release.

• Amplified Reality: Scan the map to get more detailed information with a simple keyboard touch. This keeps the user interface as clean as possible while still allowing more detailed information for those who want it.

• Immersive Battles: Prepare ships, organize fleets, choose strategies, and study the results in real time.

• Rich, Endless Universe: Quests and events linked to population, heroes, exploration, thriving factions - Endless Space 2 has everything needed for players to create their own stories!

• Two Victory Types: Play for 100 turns and either get the highest score or eliminate all opponents. More victory types will be added later.

We spoke to narrative director Jeff Spock very recently about the lessons they learned making Endless Legend and how they're bringing more story to the science fiction sequel. Check that out below:

REVIEW. Written by Matti Isotalo

"The game is a constant source of "war stories", cool-sounding anecdotes of great victories and grim defeats home and abroad."
