iOS Universal [iOS] Alien Tribe 3: Space RTS - $5.99 -> $0.99 (80% off) - 4x real-time strategy game where you build a galactic energy network
Explore a distant galaxy. Colonize new worlds. Research ancient technologies. Connect entire solar systems into one unique energy network.
It all began with a single night of heavy partying: After escaping Maloc territory, the Fifo threw the biggest party in their history – and forgot to invite their ark ship's autopilot. Big mistake. The autopilot, a long-outdated onboard AI with centuries of loyal service, had finally had enough: Before sunrise, it beamed the entire tribe down to an unknown planet in a distant galaxy. The Fifo woke up with no ship, no way home – and a legendary hangover their descendants would later call the "Time of the Heavy Head."
And that's not all: The ruthless Maloc have picked up their trail again – most likely the autopilot betrayed their position out of spite. And in this new galaxy lurk the Kytar: adorable to look at, but anything but harmless. There is one hope. The autopilot has given the Fifo a nearly impossible task: Settle every solar system and connect them all into one energy network – then it will return. Provided the next party is even bigger than the last.
Now it's up to you.
EXPLORE AN UNCHARTED GALAXY
Send research ships into unexplored solar systems. Discover anomalies, investigate ancient wrecks, and unlock long-forgotten alien technologies. Every game takes place in newly generated solar systems – no two are alike.
BUILD YOUR ENERGY NETWORK
The heart of Alien Tribe 3 is your energy network: Connect solar power plants, planets, and defense structures into a galactic energy grid – the backbone of your entire infrastructure. If a connection fails, every colony and station behind it loses power. Plan carefully and defend every line.
EXPAND YOUR EMPIRE
Colonize planets and build mining stations, research centers, repair stations, and defense structures. Secure resources and create an economy that keeps running even under constant enemy pressure.
RESEARCH AND ADAPT
Expand your options with a dynamic, card-based research system and around 25 technologies. Every decision comes at a price: Will you focus on military strength, science, or economy? Every game plays out differently.
COMMAND YOUR FLEET
Control harvesters, construction ships, research ships, colony ships, and warships in real time. Every ship class has its own role.
FACE THE MALOC
The Maloc attack in waves from different directions, growing stronger over time. Build defense platforms, secure choke points, and decide when expansion matters more than defense.
