Description
Alliances are shattering, and hasty diplomatic treaties are made in secrecy. A confrontation of the superpowers seems inevitable – only the outcome of the galactic conflict remains to be seen. Which faction will emerge victorious and rule the galaxy?
A game of Eclipse places you in control of a vast interstellar civilization, competing for success with its rivals. You will explore new star systems, research technologies, and build mighty spaceships. There are many potential paths to victory, so you need to plan your strategy considering the strengths and weaknesses of your species, while paying attention to the other civilizations' endeavors.

Ratings and Reviews
Complex but massively rewarding
I played the board game once and was horribly confused. Yet I was compelled to play it again. I bought this and after playing through the incredibly helpful tutorial I finally figured out how to play.
This game has, for me, the right level of complexity and challenge. This means beating the AI is very rewarding rather than just a grind-fest. The variety of player types gives the game a high replay value. Coupled with pass-and-play as well as asynchronous online play makes this game a must have.
That and the board game is $150 so $9.95, for the same experience, it's a bargain :)
Perfect implementation of a strategy game
Eclipse is an excellent 4X board game, and this iOS version is a great balance between the original board game and computer interface.
Close
I would have given this game a 5 star as its very enjoyable and after a short learning curve fun to play. BUT! There is one major bug that occurs almost half the times I enter battle, I will be going good, winning and then when I tap the attack button the fight will stop and it will say all my ships have been destroyed. REALLY a game kill
