4X is a genre of strategy-based games in which players control an empire and "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate". Emphasis is placed upon economic and technological development, as well as a range of non-military routes to supremacy. Games can take a long time to complete since the amount of micromanagement needed to sustain an empire increases as the empire grows.
Only requires a single button (commonly the left mouse button or a single key on the keyboard) to operate the game's controls or interact with it.
Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
