Surprisingly for a Sid Meier game, it received a large number of negative reviews, especially for the PC/Mac version, which was extremely buggy and simplistic for a full-featured PC game. Most PC players felt that the developers focused too much on making the game playable on an [=iPad=].

Thousands of years have passed since the launch of the ships that settled the various exoplanets. Your colony has flourished and began to wonder about the fate of the other human colonies on other worlds. Then a long-awaited signal arrives. The colonists begin the construction of a starship to take their emissaries to meet their brethren only to decode the message half-way through the construction and discover that it's a call for help. Instead of one ship, a whole fleet is launched, ready for anything and prepared to render aid to the other colonies.
The game is played out on a TwoDSpace map. Instead of a whole civilization, the player is put in control of a fleet of starships exploring the galaxy, encountering the other [[LostColony Lost Colonies]] and, possibly, alien civilizations as well, and dealing with various threats. The player is able to [[DesignItYourselfEquipment customize each ship]] to a great extent to fit a particular task. Naturally, {{Space Battle}}s are a common occurrence. It is also noted that the initially-selected leaders of your colony are the same as in ''Beyond Earth''.

* DistressCall: The signal that spurs your colony to build a fleet of well-armed starships instead of one diplomatic ship.
* LostColony: Both your colony and the other human colonies have no contact with either Earth or each other.
* OurWormholesAreDifferent: Entering one will send your fleet to a different region of space.
