About Aurora
Aurora is a 4X (eXpand, eXplore, eXploit, and eXterminate) science fiction strategy game. Players develop their interstellar empire from the humble beginnings on their homeworld to conquer the universe, or be pummelled into the ashes of history by opposing races.
It has the graphical charm of an income tax assistant software from the late nineties, but a playing depth that more than rivals any commercial 4X game. It is under constant development and there is an active player community in the forum that will help you with any question or problem you might encounter.
| Downloads The installation files for Aurora may only be obtained from the Aurora forums |
