Imagine Earth invites the player to play the role of the creator of civilizations in various galaxies and worlds. By managing large territories, you will have to manage the economy, development, learning and other aspects of the states. Space trade will help to obtain missing resources or sell excess ones.

If they conduct research, the colonists will learn more about their surroundings, will be able to protect their territories from climate disasters, or escape from disasters. The gamer controls the only planet on which intelligent life is progressing. As a leader, you can go explore new cosmic bodies, interact with alien races and trade with them.

The global climate is deteriorating due to pollution from soil, exhaust fumes, factories and other elements. Rising temperatures are followed by the melting of polar regions, and rising sea levels could wipe out small islands already settled by humans. To satisfy the lives of his subjects, the user is able to install factories, farms, power plants, extract resources and establish production chains.

Rising sea levels, tornadoes, forest fires, asteroid impacts and other hazards are procedurally generated. Not all alien beings will want to trade or make peace. They will attack planets with the aim of capturing and destroying them. In 2048, the user receives many futuristic elements, high-tech weapons, a space fleet and much more that will help fight off rivals.
