THE UNIVERSE IS IN RUINS...

A cosmic catastrophe has destroyed once-prosperous planets, leaving them in ruins. Now, as the Galactic Architect, your mission is to travel across different star systems, restore ecosystems, rebuild cities, and revive civilizations. But this won't be an easy task: each planet presents new challenges, from hostile enemies to dangerous environments.

In Terraform Nexus, you use a deck of cards to decide how to approach each planet. Each card is a powerful tool, representing upgrades, technologies, and abilities to terraform, protect, and expand the worlds you explore.

Features:

• Unique Card-Based Gameplay: Build and customize your deck as you progress through the game, unlocking cards with terraforming, defense, and protection abilities.
• Planet Restoration: Each planet offers a unique set of environmental and civilizational challenges. Restore ecosystems, create new life forms, and rebuild fascinating cities.
• Strategic Economy: Carefully manage your planetary resources (energy, minerals) to unlock more powerful cards and successfully terraform planets.
• Cosmic Exploration: Travel through varied star systems, facing cosmic enemies, natural disasters, and more.
• Pixel Art and Immersive Sound: Retro-futuristic art style with detailed pixel art and a soundtrack inspired by the vastness of space.

Story

After centuries of peace, a series of colossal cosmic events destroyed planets and unleashed chaos throughout the galaxy. Humans, after fleeing a dying Earth, joined forces with other surviving civilizations to form the Alliance of Galactic Architects – an organization dedicated to restoring cosmic harmony. As one of the last Galactic Architects, your mission is vital to the survival of millions of human and non-human lives.

Each planet you visit holds ancient secrets, hidden dangers, and mysteries that defy logic. Your decisions as an Architect will not only impact the current planet but also the survival of the entire galaxy.
