There are many potential paths to victory, so you need to plan.

This game is the result of three year of dedicated, complex world-building on the part of ZLONGAME, and it's looking like a rich, intriguing sci-fi classic. You explore new star systems, research technologies, and build spaceships with which to wage war. There are conflicts, alliances, and endless opportunities to aid or plunder, with a handful of regimes vying to dominate through conflict and diplomacy. Ultimately, Second Galaxy just reflects immutable human nature, which has never changed in thousands of years. The more crimes you commit, the more justice you bring down upon yourself, not only from the police but from other players too. If it goes above 1, you'll be pursued and penalized by NPC cops who patrol the cosmos, taking down the filth. For instance, if you attack other players illegally your criminal level will increase. You're in control of your own character, and can determine your place in the universe. Naturally, emotions run high, and you'll end up having embittered relationships with some players, and friendly relationships with others. One wrong move can cost you a ship that you ploughed masses of time and effort into. The choices that players make have permanent consequences, and ships lost in battle are lost forever, which makes combat thrillingly tense. Implants come in differing degrees of rarity, and help players to improve attributes, specialize in particular areas, or mask weaknesses in others. These are acquired throughout the game, pretty much in the way that random items are gained from missions in many mobile MMOs, and they contain random abilities. These skills help your character handle weapons and ships more adeptly, boosting their interstellar awesomeness.

As they level-up players will unlock commander skills, and those come on top of dozens of other skills spread across nine branching skill trees in four discrete fields: weapon mastery, defense operations, electronic engineering, and spaceship piloting. This may be the best open-world mobile MMO we have played this year and it contains everything we want: A very big galaxy to explore, the freedom to do anything you want, exciting space battles, different classes, and the chance to betray your friends, if you feel like it. Players start off by making a choice: should they be soldiers, scientists, engineers, or explorers? This career choice determines their early aptitude, but it in no way constrains them from taking their own path through the game. Second Galaxy released only 24 hours ago and we are already in love with it. Unlike in other space games, in which players are forced to set their own goals in a barren sandbox, Second Galaxy is built on a story that gradually reveals more and more of the universe and guides the player through the game's many intricacies.
