Endless Space updated, free to play on Steam this weekend
Endless Space, which includes "Echoes of the Endless," the game's second free content pack, is free to play this weekend on Steam. Not only is the 4X strategy game free this weekend, but it's also 50 percent off at $15. The game is free to play until Sunday at 1PM Pacific and 50 percent off until Monday at 10AM Pacific.We gotta hand it to Amplitude Studios: they've certainly supported their game, taking a title that launched with some rough spots during the summer and smoothing them out. If you enjoy games like Civilization or Masters of Orion, you definitely owe it to yourself to download Endless Space and give it a spin around the Milky Way.[Thanks, Gregory]
Endless Space content update today, adds new faction
Endless Space will launch its first free content update, "Rise of the Automatons", today on Steam. Red Alert: The update is not compatible with older saves. Developer Amplitude Studios stated the update was created with input from the 4X strategy game's community."We really appreciate our players' devotion and ideas; they've given us ammo for many more updates and upgrades beyond this one," said Amplitude CEO Mathieu Girard. "They're numerous, argumentative, and occasionally challenging, but we wouldn't have it any other way."Other improvements to the game in today's update include a new trade route panel, upgraded diplomacy, improved hero management, improved AI and other necessary "fixes, amendments and changes."%Gallery-167279%
Endless Space warps onto Mac
Endless Space, the 4x space strategy game that launched in July for PC, is available now on Mac. Those who already purchased the game on PC automatically own the Mac version through SteamPlay. Endless Space also features cross-platform multiplayer between both platforms."We are hugely excited with the digital success of Endless Space so far and the acclaim by the press for the game," said Amplitude Studios CEO Mathieu Girard. "We hope to welcome many players and expect to see some cross-platform multiplayer rivalries pop up."Endless Space is easily one of the best strategy games of the year. It's not as adept as Civilization 5 in getting new players adjusted, but it's the type of game that has a lot going for it once you're acquainted.%Gallery-154587%
