OGX basics
OGX – Old Galaxy Xperience is a browser-based space strategy game inspired by classic OGame, with modern quality-of-life features, a fair VIP system and an independent, non–pay-to-win philosophy.
This page gives a quick overview of how OGX is structured: portal, universes, main game screens and where to find key information.
1. Portal, master account and universes
OGX is built around a central portal and multiple game servers (universes).
- You create a single master account on the portal (https://playogx.com).
- From this master account, you can join one or several universes (servers).
- Each universe has its own:
- players and alliances,
- economy and rankings,
- wars, politics and stories.
2. Main game views
Once you are in a universe, you primarily play from the following views:
- Overview
General information about your current planet: buildings in progress, events, incoming fleets.
Mines, power plants and storages. This is the core of your economy.
- Facilities / Shipyard
Advanced buildings (Robotics, Nanites, etc.) and ship construction.
Research screen to unlock new ships, drives, combat upgrades, Astrophysics, Plasma, and more.
- Fleet
Sending missions: transport, attack, deployment, Expeditions, Colonization, etc.
- Galaxy
Browse systems, spy targets, spot new planets to colonise.
- Alliance
Join or create an alliance, chat, coordinate attacks and defenses.
- Messages / Reports
Espionage reports, combat reports, expedition results, system notifications.
For a step-by-step progression guide, see Getting started.
3. Core gameplay loop
The basic gameplay loop of OGX is:
- Build and upgrade your economy (mines, energy).
- Research key technologies to unlock ships and features.
- Build ships and basic defenses to protect your resources.
- Use raids, expeditions and colonization to grow faster.
- Expand to multiple planets and specialise them (production, fleet, research, etc.).
Everything is long-term and persistent: your choices shape your empire over weeks and months, not minutes.
4. VIP Commander and fairness
OGX includes a VIP system called Commander Account:
- It is activated only via OGX Credits – Terms of purchase, use and refund.
- It offers:
- advanced build and research queues,
- extra expedition slot,
- production and time bonuses,
- comfort features (shortcuts, QoL).
However:
- There is no direct “buy fleet / buy resources” option.
- The goal is to keep OGX as fair and non–pay-to-win as possible.
- Commander speeds things up and makes management easier, but skill, activity and strategy remain the main factors.
Full details are on Commander Account – Service terms of use.
5. Rules and fair play
Before going too far, make sure to read the Game rules page.
Key points:
- No abusive multi-accounting on the same universe.
- No pushing (free resource feeding from weaker players to stronger ones).
- No bots, scripts or automation.
- No harassment, insults, racism, hate speech, etc.
Violations can lead to warnings, rollbacks, or permanent bans.
