AETHERION — Cosmic Incremental & Base Defense
Begin with a single spark and grow into a force powerful enough to conquer the universe.
Fire energy pulses, collect cosmic motes, destroy worlds, and purchase upgrades that make every run stronger. Expand through 20 unique dimensions, break massive barriers, build your own space base, and defend your core from waves of invading planets.
Construct an arsenal of 18 unlockable turrets, surround your base with energy walls, build Space Barracks, and deploy evolving combat robots. Enter the Space Research Lab to improve your entire army, unlock permanent fleet upgrades, and evolve your machines from Mk I to Mk IV.
Race against simulated AI rivals, climb the rankings, visit their bases, and watch their empires grow in real time. When you are ready, ascend for Stardust and invest in powerful upgrades that carry into future runs.
