Description

Embrace the life of a seafaring civilization as you sail the open expanses of the galaxy with Stellaris' most immersive pack yet: the Aquatics Species Pack! Let a wave of new customizable options for your empire crash into Stellaris, with a treasure trove of new species portraits, ship set, origins and more.

Strap on your fins and tank, and take a deep dive into the marine world of the Aquatics Species Pack with:

ALL NEW ORIGINS
Here be Dragons!: This ancient mythical beast stalks your home world, it’s deep sage blue scales orbiting your humble kingdom. Your relationship with this proud creature will determine the lengths she will be willing to go to either defend or destroy you… you’d be wise to avoid displeasing it.

Ocean Paradise: These peaceful civilizations lead a peaceful life in a bountiful environment. With no natural enemies as well as food deposits and bonuses, enjoy unhindered growth and opulence.

NEW TRAIT
Aquatic: When species evolve to thrive on ocean worlds, they’re also the stereotypical “fish out of water” on others.

NEW CIVIC
Anglers: The bounties of the sea: fresh seafood and rare pearls are but some of the benefits of a seafarer's life. Visit the agriculture districts to cash in on these valuable consumer goods.

NEW ASCENSION PERK
Hydrocentric: Ever carry something heavy underwater? It’s easier, right? When you spend most of your time underwater, you figure out cheaper and faster methods of modifying your environment. Terraform planets into oceanic worlds, or make them bigger by harvesting water from other planets. Build the sandcastles of space!

    Good, but not so relevant as other Stellaris DLCs. And a bit pricey.*****

    This DLC is a "species pack", so you get what you expect: some new portraits for races, a new graphic design for their ships and special civics and origin for subaquatic empires. All this content is fine.

    But it's more expensive than other species packs (Humanoids, Plantoids, Lithoids and Necroids are all 8$ / 8€), and I miss for this "species pack" something more like "Synthetic Dawn", the DLC centered on robotic empires which added all those features but also music and more content (events, a reworked crisis...).

    So... Aquatics is good optional content for Stellaris, but I'd like to see on these species pack a more "integral" approach, à la Synthetic Dawn.

    Not game‑changing but fun*****

    Stellaris: Aquatics Species Pack is one of those small DLCs that punches above its weight. The aquatic portraits look great, the ship set is stylish, and the civics give empires a genuinely different feel — especially if you enjoy playing tall or leaning into ocean‑world themes. It's not game‑changing, but it's flavorful, polished, and fun.

    Dragon*****

    Cool Species Pack with some nice portraits. Great for playing an Ocean inspired Empire. The best part is the Origin that gives you a pet Dragon who can be used to fight your enemies!
