Evaluation
Auralux: Constellations launched on June 1, 2016 and received a steady stream of updates in the months that followed: feature patches in June and July 2016 added quality-of-life options and multiplayer improvements, mobile ports arrived in August 2016, and one new content constellation ("Fracture") with 11 levels and 3 multiplayer maps shipped on September 29, 2016. That September 29, 2016 update is the last developer communication on record. No further content, patches, announcements, or developer posts have appeared since that date — nearly a decade ago. No unreleased DLC is listed on the store, no roadmap or future content has been announced, and the store description does not reference any upcoming additions. The game launched as a complete minimalist RTS, received one meaningful post-launch content drop, and has been silent ever since. It is best understood as a finished product.

About this game
Auralux: Constellations is the awaited sequel to Auralux, the critically acclaimed minimalistic Real Time Strategy game. Start with a single planet. Then, upgrade, expand, and attack until you’ve conquered the entire system. Now with Auralux: Constellations, for the first time you can play against your friends in local or online multiplayer games.
Featuring gameplay constellations with one new feature at a time, Auralux: Constellations is a real-time strategy game that distills the RTS genre to its essential elements. Explore new gameplay possibilities: what happens if you take these basic rules and add fog-of-war? What if the planets moved? What if you had wormholes connecting distant parts of the map? You can replay the game to near infinity.
All this with a slow, graceful feel and vibrant minimalistic graphics, all pulsing to the rhythm of ambient music. This game is designed to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every choice matters, and the only path to victory is through clever strategy. It’s Real-Time Strategy, deconstructed.
