About this game

The galaxy has been a peaceful place for many years. After the ruthless Terran–Hegemony War, much effort has been employed by all major spacefaring species to prevent the terrifying events from repeating themselves.

The Galactic Council was formed to enforce precious peace, and it has taken many courageous efforts to prevent the escalation of malicious acts.

Nevertheless, tension and discord are growing among the seven major species and in the Council itself. Old alliances are shattering, and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy.

A confrontation of the superpowers seems inevitable—only the outcome of the galactic conflict remains to be seen. Which faction will emerge victorious and lead the galaxy under its rule?

The shadows of the great civilizations are about to eclipse the galaxy.

A game of Eclipse Second Dawn places you in control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success with its rivals. You will explore new star systems, research technologies, and build mighty spaceships. There are many potential paths to victory, so you need to plan your strategy considering the strengths and weaknesses of your species, while paying attention to the other civilizations' endeavors.

Love this game, but there some solid issues with this app. The game occasionally freezes at random times during battles, and basically ends your game. Even if you back out and resume, it still crashes at the same point. Ancient Labs crashes the game. Anti Neutron bombs doesn't do anything, even having the research I still get bombed. Font is ridiculously small, can barely make out the VP points. Need a stronger zoom in function. That's just a few.

It's a fun game with promise but they really need to fix the app. The game is atrociously developed, being prone to lagging during battles and if the game freezes during a battle it will reload the battle frozen and you just lose your whole game. The diplomacy system is completely broken. There is no button for manually opening diplomacy talks and the app frequently screws up giving you the opportunity to exchange ambassadors.

Game works great. I've played several matches. My only complaint is the dice rolls seemed not random. I noticed after a few matches my rolls were always bad so I started to keep track on a spread sheet. Over 10 games and 50+ battles, per dice I had a 1 rolled just under 50%. Sample size may be a bit too small but for something at should be close to 17%, that's dramatic.
