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.
Near infinitely replayable games that usually feature, random generation, perma-death, and brutal difficulty.
Games where the primary goal is keeping the player character alive under harsh circumstances such as dwindling resources or a hostile environment.
