What is ICO?
The galaxy never sleeps: ICO operates on a continuous loop where a “Game Turn” occurs every 10 minutes. With every tick, your resource totals update, construction progresses, and completed research unlocks new possibilities for your empire. Will you focus on economic dominance, scientific superiority, or military might?
Master a Complex Economy
Manage seven distinct core resources to keep your empire thriving. Mine Metal for structural construction, generate Power to keep your facilities online, and extract rare Auracite to fuel your most advanced technologies. Construct diverse planetary buildings – from Hydroponic Farms to Antimatter Reactors – to boost your resource generation every turn.
Advance Your Technology
Progress through deep Research Trees spanning Economy, Military, and Science. Invest your resources and time into unlocking higher-tier technologies that grant access to specialised buildings and devastating new ship classes
Command Interstellar Fleets
Defend your sector or explore the unknown by constructing powerful spacecraft at your Shipyards. Build diverse fleets featuring swift Speedsters, massive Cargo Haulers, and heavily armed Combat Frigates. Plan your movements carefully – navigating the stars consumes Antimatter, the essential fuel of the galaxy, and heavier fleets will burn through your reserves quickly.
