Description

Stellaris: Apocalypse is a full expansion which redefines stellar warfare for all players with a host of new offensive and defensive options. Destroy entire worlds with terrifying new planet-killer weapons, fight against (or alongside) ruthless space pirates, and maybe discover a few non-violent game features as well.

The Apocalypse expansion includes:

THAT'S NO MOON, NEITHER IS THAT ONE, THAT ONE MIGHT BE A MOON, WAIT, NO

Keep the local systems in line with fear of the new “Colossus” planet-killer weapon – a technological terror that eliminates entire worlds from the universe.

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO YOU

New enormous “Titan” capital ships can lead your fleets to conquest, offering tremendous bonuses to the vessels under their command. Meanwhile, fortify key systems with massive orbital installations and secure your homeworld as an impenetrable bastion among the stars.

PIRATES OF THE CONSTELLATION

Watch out for Marauders – space nomads who raid settled empires and carve out their lives on the fringe of civilization. Hire them as mercenaries in your own conflicts, but take care that they don’t unify and trigger a new mid-game crisis!

SOME NON-VIOLENT FEATURES

New Ascension Perks and Civics are added in the expansion, along with new Unity Ambitions that provide new ways to spend Unity and customize your development.

SOUNDS OF DESTRUCTION

To accompany your planet-shattering expedition, three new musical pieces have been composed by Andreas Waldetoft for your listening pleasure.

I didn't want to thumbs down this game, but they are getting ridiculous on their DLC and charging more than an actual game every year now. I might as well just give up on this project having to wait 2 years for a proper

Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 253: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆☆ (7/10) Apocalypse wants you to go big or go boom. It’s the Stellaris DLC that introduces giant planet-killing weapons, terrifying

It adds Titans and Colossus. Therefore, its kinda a must have. Yes, these make it worth it if you like having fun and making wars really really funny. Get it on sale. Negative reviews are mostly to address past bad

The only real thing of value you'll get from this DLC are Titans, which are essentially giant flagships for your fleet. If that's worth $10-$20 for you, go for it. Marauder Empires add an extra mid-game crisis to deal

This is one of the essential DLCs for the game, and SHOULD be part of the game by default. If you have a limited budget ot DLCs this is a must buy.

While the content is good, there is not much of it. This DLC is way too expensive for what it adds to the game.
