The universe has just opened.
Early commanders pick the best planet slots and set the rules. Claim your place before everyone else.
How it plays
Four steps. Endless strategies.
Start with a single colony. Where you take it is up to you: trader, raider, turtle or warlord.
- 1
Build
Mines, power plants and depots. Your economy runs day and night, even while you sleep.
- 2
Discover
Unlock stronger hulls, weapons, shields, engines, espionage and colonization.
- 3
Design your fleet
Build your own ships module by module: raiders, haulers, escorts or flagships.
- 4
Raid and defend
Spy on your neighbors, strike at the right moment, and make your own world too costly to attack.
A few minutes a day is enough: queue your builds, send a fleet, come back later.

Questions
Is ExoWars really free?
Yes. The whole game is free. The optional Commander status only adds comfort (an extra build queue, more ship designs, an empire overview…). Nothing for sale gives resources, speed-ups, combat strength or protection.
Do I need to download anything?
No. ExoWars runs in your browser on desktop and mobile. You can also install it as an app from your browser for quick access.
How much time does it take?
As much as you want. A few minutes a day is enough: queue your buildings and research, send a fleet, and come back later. Players who check in more often can raid more, but your colony keeps producing while you are away.
Can I lose everything while I am offline?
No. New players are protected at first, depots keep part of your resources safe from raids, and destroyed defenses are partly rebuilt after a battle. Attacks cost fuel and ships, so strong defenses make raiders look elsewhere.
Can I play with friends?
Yes. Send them your invite link: they get 10 days of Commander instead of 7, and you get a week of Commander when they are still playing a week later. Then found an alliance together.
Which languages are available?
English, French and German. The whole game is translated, including battle reports and emails.
