Evaluation

Grand Emprise: Time Travel Survival launched on July 27, 2023 as a solo-developed, singleplayer-only game. The developer shipped two bug fix patches in the weeks following launch (July 31 and August 9, 2023), addressing issues across the full arc of the game's content — from the early dinosaur era through the Dyson Sphere ending and beyond. The store description outlines a complete, linear journey from the prehistoric era all the way to a post-universe conclusion ("take control of a powerful alien artificial intelligence to go beyond this universe"), indicating the game shipped as a finished, self-contained experience. On December 27, 2023, the developer announced a sequel — Grand Emprise 2: Portals Apart — framing it as the next game in the series rather than additional content for this title. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced expansions or updates for this game, and no developer posts since December 2023. The sequel announcement, combined with the absence of any post-launch content roadmap for the original game, strongly indicates the developer has moved on to the next project. The original game was designed and delivered as a complete product.

About this game

TIME TRAVEL through history to BECOME GOD 🚀

Ride dinosaurs, forge tools, sail dunes, build a colony, siege castles, automate and fly, mine underground, launch to the moon, build a dyson sphere!

An insane, unforgettable and revolutionary survival crafting base building open world adventure.

SOLO DEVELOPED & SINGLEPLAYER ONLY

This game constantly introduces completely new features to create an exciting time travel adventure with a focus on high gameplay variety.
Each time era is intentionally short to keep the game constantly exciting, similar to games like It Takes Two and Spore.
This game follows a mostly linear tech tree and does not have modular building so you CANNOT create custom buildings. Don't expect a sandbox experience.

EXCITING TECHNOLOGY

Progress through time eras as you develop exciting technology!

Fight, tame, and ride dinosaurs & explore an ancient temple.
Forge iron tools as you make a primitive base and fight primal animals & caveman.
Sail desert dunes, face giant primal worms, and fight humans across multiple different times.
Build and manage a human tribe colony, explore an ice cave, discover waterwheel power, and take down a hostile colony.
Glide through landscapes, break into an ancient castle as you build siege weapons and battle soldiers, then explore a modern day museum.
Automate by building machines and generating electricity, produce plastic, fly a hot air balloon, and battle with tanks.
Construct and sail an industrial ship and aircrafts, then mine underground and build a rocket to launch to the moon.
Unlock a futuristic way to automate on the moon, drill the moon using your own rover, fight mechs on Future Earth, and build a Dyson Sphere!
Take off into space to discover and take control of a powerful alien artificial intelligence to go beyond this universe.
