Emperor of the Fading Suns is a turn-based strategy 4X video game developed by Holistic Design, based on their in-house role-playing game setting Fading Suns.[2][3] It was released for Microsoft Windows in January 1997.
The game had a wide array of units and a complex back-story but was rushed to market and released with numerous severe flaws and several features underdeveloped. After official support ended, numerous unofficial, fan-made mods continued to be released.[4] On October 19, 2020, it was made available on GOG.com.[5][6]
