Keng's Little Universe

Keng's Little Universe is a strategy game about guiding a civilization through survival, growth and exploration. Its three-part story follows your people from an unstable world beneath multiple suns, through a star cluster where information can expose your position, to a galaxy of competing civilizations and large-scale warfare. Each part is a distinct voyage with different cosmic conditions and challenges. Develop your civilization from ancient times toward a cosmic era, adapting your approach as the universe changes and other powers expand around you.

Story Mode connects the three voyages and increases the pressure as you progress. After clearing 10 levels, you can enter the Endless Universe, where anomalies alter conditions such as star counts, AI development and the pace of information and conflict. Online multiplayer supports up to 10 players, while two-player co-op lets allies share victory.

Gameplay and features

• Three distinct settings: Survive shifting stellar conditions in Part I, manage expansion and information in Part II, and contend with rival civilizations across a vast galaxy in Part III.
• Build and manage fleets: In Part II, use colony, explorer, monitor, combat and beacon fleets while managing energy and load, claiming planets, terraforming worlds and researching technology.
• Shape each run: Story Mode talents can improve starting resources and capabilities or support a chosen opening strategy. Deep-space anomalies change the rules of a run.
• Play together: Create or join online matches for up to 10 players, or team up in two-player co-op. In co-op, a teammate's victory counts for both players.
• Optional automation: Auto Play hands control to the AI in supported parts, and Story Mode's Auto Next Stage can move directly from one part to the next.
