"Auralux is real-time strategy in its purest form... It's simple. It's elegant. It's slow and engrossing." – Kotaku
"Auralux is a success. It distills the real-time-strategy game to its purest form." - The A.V. Club
"The later game introduces some very interesting mechanics though, such as black holes, gamma ray bursts, and orbiting planets... There is something for everyone." – Techgage

Ratings and Reviews
Strategically subtle, and eerily beautiful
This game has a similar ambient vibe to Osmos, an old favourite of mine, but has an extra strategic dimension which constantly bridges between positional thinking (how strong are my defences / what is my attack capability against each of my neighbours) and real-time allocation of resources in a continuous flow of battle. Be warned that while this game looks like an abstract simulation of space combat, you are in fact unwittingly directing the real-world Terran fleets against our monstrous insectoid enemies, and if successful in the cataclysmic final mission you will subsequently be confronted with the enormity of your species-obliterating actions. That said, it's a good laugh.
I’m a bit sad about this
I bought the original game years ago now and have repeatedly gone back to it to replay as I love it! It was just the right amount of challenge and fun loved the music! I was so excited to hear they’d revamped the game so I got this version and for a awhile now I’ve been playing through levels and completed most constellations now but the last few levels I have to do are actually impossible and I’m now getting to a point of not wanting to keep coming back and playing which is really gutting. As a last ditch attempt I googled other layers strategies and employed them however I’m still not getting past these levels so I can complete all of the constellations! To give this some perspective I have been trying to get past these levels for well over a year now. I’m not enjoying it because it’s no longer fair but just nothing works at all. I love the mutilple yer idea and my partner and myself have played against each other occasionally but o cannot find other players to play against at all and the game now has an abandoned feel to it so I’m sad that the developers aren’t responding to people and are not making alterations to this truly awesome game! So over all I’m just really gutted! What a shame! I will have to go back to my playing your first version I’m afraid!
Great little game.
Hours of fun to be had here without having to spend money, the levels do get progressively harder, but never impossible, and the extra purchasable packs are very cheap and well worth the money, simple game, but very addictive even if you don’t guy the add ons, the free game never gets boring as you can always try and beat your previous times. I never leave reviews on games, but this little gem deserved a couple of minutes of my time for a positive review... takes up very little space too.
