Building and steering their own industrial complex to the highest level is the focus of Illuvium Zero. This city building game takes place on an alien world that humans have crashed upon. Landowners build up their industrial complex over time while harvesting resources and crafting vital items. An important aspect of the game is the research of blueprints, enabling players to create new skins, which can be used or sold in the game's marketplace. Illuvium Zero serves as a supply game in the Illuvium metaverse, generating resources like fuel that is used in Illuvium Overworld. There are four different games in the Illuvium metaverse, each focusing on different gameplay styles: Illuvium Zero (city building), Illuvium Overworld (rpg), Illuvium Arena (PvP), and Illuvium Beyond (collectible). Players can use the resources found in Zero in other Illuvium games or sell them in the marketplace to generate revenue.
