Imagine Earth, a colony-building simulator by Serious Brothers, receives a significant upgrade with its Galaxies DLC, priced at an affordable $3.99. The original game, a blend of Civilization and SimCity, where players compete to grow colonies while balancing ecological impact, is elevated by this expansion.
The DLC introduces a macro-level approach, allowing players to connect multiple colonies via spaceports for free resource trading and city center extensions offering power or drones. A new story campaign, the Genesis Seed Initiative, features complex pioneer phases with diverse victory conditions beyond simple domination, demanding sustainable builds.
Political intricacies are added through a galactic government where colonies vote on policies and engage in a bit of diplomacy. This expansion enhances the base game's challenging and thought-provoking gameplay, offering a more complete galactic space race experience. While the base game is recommended for understanding the fundamentals, the Galaxies DLC feels like the definitive way to play, adding substantial depth and replayability.
