Weird to reply to a 3 month-old post, but Galimulator is basically like a galaxy simulator. Think of something like Stellaris, but more spectator-ish (Galimulator actually came out before Stellaris). Of course you can also take over different empires and just mess around in sandbox mode. You should check it on on Google Play , Itch.io and Steam.
Wow I had no idea this subreddit existed, but itch.io referrer list brought me here :) Hope you don't mind this self-promotion, but Galimulator is also available on Android here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=snoddasmannen.galimulator And coming soon to iOS as well.
Galimulator is pretty good
