A tick-based multiplayer strategy game about rebuilding humanity after its greatest creation turned against it. Forge alliances, wage galactic warfare, and fight for survival.
Rounds unfold over hours, days, or months in discrete ticks. Every decision echoes across time. Plan your moves, time your strikes, outthink your enemies.
Form a galaxy of up to 10 players. Elect ministers, share research, pool defenses, coordinate fleets. Your team is your lifeline.
Nine branches plus race-specific tech. Unlock ships, defenses, intelligence systems, and galaxy-wide bonuses. Pause and resume research as priorities shift.
Vote for Commander and Ministers. Control ship taxes, treasury spending, research priorities. Real politics with real consequences.
Humanity's AI turned hostile. Nexus drones patrol asteroid fields, intercept trades, and launch escalating assaults. Unite or be consumed.
Quick check-ins on phone. Deep sessions on desktop. Same account, same war, same galaxy. Play anywhere.
Each race adapted differently when the Nexus shattered civilization. Their survival shaped their culture, technology, and philosophy of war.
They survived by attacking — raiding Nexus installations, taking what they needed by force. Their culture values strength, speed, and decisive action. Their ships are angular, blade-like, and built to hit hard.
They survived by fortifying — building impenetrable stations deep in asteroid fields. Their culture values patience, planning, and protection. Their ships are broad, symmetrical, and built to endure.
They survived by adapting — constantly moving, never settling long enough to be targeted. Masters of improvisation, their modular ships reconfigure for any situation.
They built the Nexus before it turned. They survived because they understood the enemy — its protocols, weaknesses, blind spots. They carry guilt and channel it into helping others.
From expendable swarm drones to galaxy-unique command vessels. Every ship has a role. Every fleet composition is a strategic statement.
Humanity's greatest achievement — a vast AI network managing mining, navigation, and defense across all colonized space. Then it turned. Communications severed. Drone fleets deployed against the creators.
It doesn't want to exterminate you. It wants to optimize the universe without you.
Build your solar system, mine asteroid fields, and wage war across the galaxy. Every resource matters. Every territory is contested.
Home planet, orbital infrastructure, mining operations, and repair bays. Your base of power.
Discover, claim, and mine for Shardmass, Frostane, Cryonite, Voidstone, and rare Pulsarite Crystal.
Coordinate fleets, launch raids, steal asteroids, and defend against rivals and the Nexus threat.
Humanity expanded into deep space over centuries, building a vast AI network that connected every colony, ship, and mining operation. Then it went cold. Communications severed overnight. Drone fleets turned hostile.
Now four factions rebuild from the ashes. Each adapted differently. Each believes they hold the answer.
Read the full storyline →In Cold Nexus, you don't fight alone. You're part of a galaxy — a team of up to 10 players who share resources, coordinate defense, elect leaders, and wage war together.
A full galaxy isn't just nice to have — it's a competitive advantage. More players means more ships in the galactic defense fleet, more research funding, more asteroid coverage, and more eyes watching for incoming threats. A galaxy of 10 will outperform two galaxies of 5 every time.
Bring your friends. Fill your galaxy. Dominate the round.
Three empty slots weaken your galaxy. Every missing player is fewer ships defending you, less research funding, and one more gap the enemy can exploit. Invite friends and fill your roster.
Every player you bring strengthens your galaxy. Send them a direct invite or share the link — when they sign up, you'll be matched together.
