About This Game

About This Game

The Exalted Descendant casts you as the final spark of a fallen civilization, entrusted with reclaiming your people’s legacy in a cold, procedurally generated galaxy. Reduced to a single struggling outpost after a forgotten golden age, you must master scarce resources, alien interactions, and harsh leadership decisions to rise - or watch your species fade into oblivion.

Begin with a lone colony: extract and refine resources, construct modular ships, and deploy vast drone fleets in abstract, high-stakes combat. Empower a handful of Ascended Leaders, grant them authority, develop their talents, and let them assist your return to greatness. Every choice affects your people and reshapes the galaxy’s landscape.
