very cool little game, especially if you need to keep getting up and down, no need to worry about pausing. my only gripes are that the units can be hard to select, due to small hitboxes, hiding behind the mothership, and moving a lot of individual fighters can be a pain (no click and drag). apart from the above points, if i could add/change anything about the game, i would add points to the tech/faith trees to reduce fuel cost of light fighters, which would allow the building of more if you choose to use those trees. i might also consider adding something to the pirate tree, where if the price of hunting is too high, you could spend, 10k or so faith or money to halve the data price or hunting. otherwise, i think i almost have it down, working on very hard mode now :)

Use your wits, military might and infrastructure as you colonize planets and encounter rival factions. Fight, build, invest in faith or technology as you advance your way in a deep single player experience. The clock is ticking, and victory or defeat lies right around the corner.
Features
Lead one of five factions, each with unique ships and mechanics.
Build up your empire and assemble your fleet. Precious resources must be allocated carefully to succeed.
Combat plays fast using an auto-battle feature. Control the weapons of your carrier flagship as the frenetic battle plays out. Adapt your strategy as the conflicts escalate.
Multiple paths to victory. Will you dominate the galaxy through economy and trade, military might, or technological achievement? Or perhaps you will just try and outlast your enemies. You decide.
Random events can throw a wrench in your plans. Some will bring benefits, while others will pose mounting challenges to your people.
Trade routes can bring untold riches, but are constantly threatened by pirate raiders. How much are you willing to gamble on your trade fleet?
Recruit Heroes to further boost your empire.
Never the same game twice. With multiple factions, ways to win, random events, a variety of enemies and difficulty levels Hyper Empire is a unique play experience every time.
Victory or defeat is only the beginning. Unlocking achievements as you play will unlock new options and capital ships for your faction bringing more variety in future games.
Good luck Commander!

User Reviews
This game is atrocious; I thought it was supposed to be streamlined, so how come I don't know how to do anything despite reading all the tutorials and lore? I wish I could build ships but I don't have any fuel, too bad the game doesn't tell you how to get fuel and when I mouse over every single thing on the right side of the bridge there doesn't appear to be any way to get fuel. Everything is hands off and automatic to the point of ridiculousness, I have no idea where the trade routes are or how to protect them, or why they're getting destroyed, or why anything happens. The combat is boring, everything is boring or happens 100% in the background. You're better off just buying Fantasy Map Simulator and pretending it's in space. Absolutely does not capture the fun of 4X, I wouldn't even call this game 4X. I would call it garbage
Honestly calling this game a strategy game is generous much less a 4x game. What the heck do I even do? What does 4x mean? Well it's simple. Explore: You don't really explore so much as click a sector and auto reveal. There is no exploration of the map. Expand: I guess if you consider click icon see number go up? There is no placement of anything. Exploit: Exploit what? There is nothing to exploit. You get icons that make numbers go up, there are no actual resources to exploit, just mana. Exterminate: Can you move? All I've seen is just a capitol ship sit there while others attack it.
