10 Video Game Where You Can Gamble To Gain Ultimate Power (Or Lose Everything)

Stellaris is another Paradox Interactive grand strategy that puts a science-fiction spin on the studio's typical formula. You play as your own space-age civilization in a race for galactic domination, which is why it is extremely important to have an edge over the other competing factions.

You just have to be careful not to wager too much in your quest for supremacy.

Stellaris’ technology system divides the different research you can pursue into three categories: regular, rare, and dangerous. As you may expect, the last of these comes with a price for researching them, the most threatening of which happens when you research Jump Drives.

The Jump Drive technology allows you to install special engines onto your spaceships, which allows them to instantly travel between faraway space systems, making it the fastest and most flexible method of transportation in the game.

However, the price you pay for unlocking them is that using the warp engines has a small chance of triggering the event in which your activities attract the attention of the warp’s mysterious residents, who will then descend upon your world with a horde of superior forces and begin devouring it planet by planet.

You can’t teleport your way out of this one!
