What is the game about?​

​

​The game begins with a single base. From that planet the player uses ‘credits’, which are generated at an hourly rate, to build ships, structures or research new technologies. As the player researches new technologies, new units and structures become available to the player with greater power or greater economic value.

As the game moves on players enlarge their empires through colonizing new worlds, trading with other players or warring with other empires.
Also you can Join Guilds which are the Basic Element of the Game for Teamwork. Once you Join a Guild you work towards a Common Goal with that guild. It is wise To Join a Guild once you begin Playing due to the Fact that if you Don't People will Farm (attack and steal economy from your bases) you.​

​

Is this a Real-Time multiplayer browser game?

​

​Yes! Astro Empires is a persistent universe (this means that the game keeps going on after the player has gone offline​). Thus, if a player is offline attacks may still be launched against him. For this reason the game requires a lot of attention if one's guild gets involved in a war with another guild. Scanners allow players to see incoming ships; however, the amount of warning may vary depending on the size of the fleet (hours or even minutes).
Construction times also increase as players improve upon their buildings. For example the ‘Metal Refinery’ which is a staple building at first level takes 10 minutes to build while later on in the game in can take hundreds of hours to complete a new level.
The Real-time aspect and longer player bias has been cited as the reason for many players leaving the game. Players often will have recently left the player protection, and return to the game, only to find their fleet in ruins and their planets occupied. This causes many to leave the game, or in extreme cases, makes them retaliate against their occupier's guild with whatever fleet they have left. This can put them in a yet worse situation.
