Space travel and inter-planetary adventures may not yet be possible at this time (crossing fingers it will be within our lifetime) but through the wonder of mobile games, you can practice how you’ll do it when it’s the real deal. Galaxy Life: Pocket Adventures is a massive multi-player online strategy game which is not just a great way to practice colonizing other planets and races but is also a great way to interact with adorable aliens and creatures.
The online persistent world has thousands of players at any given time, all with the goal of building colonies in different planets and galaxies. You get the chance to invade these colonies, defend your territories, attack other players, all in real time. The game has 14 different types of units and you will be able to protect your colonies with 8 different types of defenses. You don’t just get to grab other planets from your rivals but you also need to discover other virgin planets so you will be the first to plant your flag on them.
Since there are thousands of other players in the system, you get to meet and build alliances with your fellow colonizers. The developers have given you a built-in messaging system so you can easily communicate with the other players as you share your defenses and strategies. You’ll also be able to craft items that you can use as you attack other colonies or build and strengthen your own.
Galaxy Life: Pocket Adventures is available to download from the Google Play Store for free. However, there are some items that you can purchase in-app so if you don’t want to use that feature, you can disable it to avoid unwanted or accidental purchases.
