# Cosmic Empire

> Cosmic Empire is a real-time 4X space strategy game for Meta Quest headsets, in virtual reality and mixed reality (passthrough), by Deeper Analytics (Belgium). The whole star system floats in front of the player, who grabs, turns and scales it. Players build up worlds, run trade routes, research technologies, negotiate with alien species and wage war, alone (16-mission campaign) or with 2 to 4 players on the same Wi-Fi or over the Internet. Free to play, with an optional "Full game" purchase.
