Infinite Lagrange

I have really enjoyed the game. You start a new game every month to two months and have to rebuild your base up again although your ships that you unlock come with you. You can get to destroyer level in a few days and then the time frame for building ships is increased. I do enjoy living in the asteroid fields and doing the PVE aspects of the game. It is a slow strategy game where you put in commands and then have to wait to see how things progress. I typically have something going on in the background while I play this game. Overall I would recommend it to those who like to multi-task or have to.

I guess you could say that I have played this game a lot. There is a lot of P2P features, generally coming out as buying the coins so you can then research the blueprints faster. Otherwise, it is all on chance. It is a lot of fun if you can get friends to join you, but you can find people online as well.

been through 14 servers, one tip: Find a big group to join, that makes the game actually fun
progress will be slow at first and after your first server you will feel weak but that makes later game so much more fun when you are strong and feel unstoppable

Star Hunter - Infinite Lagrange is a large-scale science fiction MMO strategy game developed and published by NetEase Games that aims to capture the fantasy of carving out a place for yourself in an untamed galaxy. Rather than focusing solely on conquest, the game presents a living interstellar frontier where players assume the role of independent adventurers seeking wealth, influence, and survival. The setting revolves around a fragmented civilization connected by the vast Lagrange transportation network, where countless factions compete over resources, technology, and territory. This premise gives the game an immediate sense of scale, making every star system feel like a small part of a much larger conflict unfolding across the cosmos.
The game places significant emphasis on player choice. You are not restricted to becoming a military commander, as opportunities exist to function as an explorer, merchant, industrial specialist, or opportunistic scavenger. Missions from major organizations and encounters with mysterious relics scattered throughout space help flesh out the universe and provide a steady stream of objectives. The narrative themes draw heavily from classic science fiction concepts, presenting humanity as both ambitious and vulnerable in an environment where alliances can shift rapidly. There is a satisfying sense of discovery when venturing into unknown sectors, especially when uncovering hidden technologies or valuable resources that can alter your progression.
Fleet management forms the heart of Infinite Lagrange's gameplay. Players gradually assemble and customize a diverse collection of warships, support vessels, and specialized craft, tailoring their capabilities to fit different combat situations. The level of customization is impressive, encouraging experimentation with formations, equipment, and tactical doctrines. Battles are presented with an unusually cinematic flair for the genre, showcasing fleets clashing amidst asteroid belts and distant stars. Watching dozens of ships unleash coordinated attacks creates an experience that feels closer to a space opera than a traditional strategy title. However, this depth comes at a cost, as the game's systems can feel overwhelming during the early hours. New players will need patience to fully understand resource management, fleet composition, and the finer details of progression.
The multiplayer component is where the game delivers many of its most memorable moments. Players can establish squads and participate in large communities that work together to control strategic locations and challenge rival organizations. Massive conflicts involving hundreds of participants highlight the persistent nature of the game's universe and demonstrate the benefits of coordinated teamwork. Diplomacy becomes nearly as important as military strength, with alliances frequently determining the outcome of major campaigns. These social elements create countless emergent stories, from unexpected betrayals to hard-fought victories that can reshape the balance of power within a server.
Visually, Infinite Lagrange is striking. The ship models are intricately designed, and the game effectively conveys the loneliness and grandeur of deep space. Its user interface manages an enormous amount of information reasonably well, though some menus can feel dense. As a free-to-play experience, monetization remains a consideration, particularly for players sensitive to progression advantages or premium conveniences. Likewise, those looking for a purely solo experience may find that the game's greatest strengths are tied to its community-driven content and long-term commitment. It is a title that rewards consistent engagement rather than occasional play sessions.
Star Hunter - Infinite Lagrange succeeds in delivering an expansive and immersive science fiction experience that balances exploration, strategy, and multiplayer interaction. Its ambitious scope, cinematic fleet battles, and persistent universe make it stand out in a crowded genre, even if its complexity and monetization model may not appeal to everyone. For players who enjoy investing time into building alliances and shaping the destiny of a shared galaxy, it offers a rewarding journey filled with discovery and conflict.
Rating: 6/10

I started playing this expecting it to be another mobile game style strategy game, and it is, but unlike most of those it's actually kind of well thought out in it's execution and it has some redeeming qualities to it.
It reminds me a lot of EVE online combined with some of the mechanics of those awful mobile strategy games like The Grand Mafia/Mafia City, you know the type where you have to wait like 3 days to upgrade a building in your base and you're just constantly being raided by people in your own alliance because you haven't spent 30 grand upgrading your ♥♥♥♥? It's kinda like one of those except it's a good bit more accessible to a new player, and a lot more playable/enjoyable/balances/less scammy. It's basically EVE plus one of those if those were actually games and not literal scams that have to use false advertising to get people to play.
anyways
There is some element of pay to win there for sure, but unlike most of the terrible Mobile strategy games where you have to spend a LOT of money or you just sort of run into a wall where you cannot progress (unless you invest months or years of your time, of course), this game manages to find a sort of balance where you can be a totally free/light spender and you can still grow, participate meaningfully, and have some fun with it.
There seems to be a limit to how long things take to build (the longest build time I've encountered was 30 hours for the very last main base upgrade, so no 2 weeks to upgrade a random building kind of ♥♥♥♥).
It's easy to obtain good ship blueprints and you can do it reliably for free. If you do choose to spend you don't have to spend hundreds to get enough to have a functional military, you'll get quite a lot of value by just buying the battlepass for 15 bucks, but even that is not needed to progress at a good rate of speed. As long as you don't burn thru the prox coins you get at the start from the opening quests and you invest them into the payment plans, you'll have a steady supply of tech boxes to pop, and within a few weeks you will likely have enough power at your disposal to be able to easily handle most PVE situations, and even many PVP ones.
You don't need to buy insurance. If you get attacked many of your ships will retreat upon "death" instead of being destroyed outright, and it's not so expensive to build a carrier or battlecruiser that you'll be tempted to break out the credit card to progress. I don't think you could buy ships/resources directly like that even if you wanted them, which does a lot to limit the power of whales. Of course, they can pop a lot more boxes than you, but you will find that even with better units you will still be able to win in fights against them as long as you are both at a similar level of base development.
The upgrade system has some depth to it, every ship is fairly unique in it's capabilities, which actually makes the prospect of obtaining new ships and trying different upgrade paths kind of exciting and fun. It's probably the thing that keeps me coming back to this game, I actually want to see all the ships and try all the things.
If you get into a decent alliance you don't have to worry about getting constantly beaten down as a new player. Even seemingly overpowered big spender types can be defeated with a free to play ship lineup IF you pay attention to what you're doing and ho everything interacts. There's actual strategy gaming here, even if it is a little boring and bland at times. It's a very good looking game too, considering that it's a game that can be run on mobile as well as PC.
So, I would recommend this game to fans of sci-fi and strategy games, but probably not to anyone else lol. Non strategy gamers would probably just view this as a game where you have a spreadsheet and you have to use your spreadsheet to fight everyone else's spreadsheet, very boring. But, strategy gamers like me have something wrong with us, so that aspect almost appeals to us....

I can not bind my mobile account with the steam account, so im not really able to play the game on steam
(also why is the binding process so complicated?)
The Game is great overall, but there are many pay to win mechanics.But it is neverthelees possible to play the game without spending any money :)

nice graphics, easy to navigate and the tutorials are well written
