Starbase Orion Reviews

Good game, but no update for resolution

Stacker98

I very much enjoy the game, but I am a little upset for how much I spent for a game that doesn’t even fit the full resolution of my iPhone X. If the devs were to optimize, my review would be 5 stars instantly.

Almost

I guess this is the way things are now... its got almost everything master of orion 2 has except the space combat system is that “set tactics and hit play” automation that I guess is the new way. I don’t really get it. I really enjoyed being able to control the vessels and interact in the space combat in MOO2. So much so, that I just cant get into this game... or others of the same ilk for that matter. I’m not poopooing the rest of the game... seems legit, but I guess its really not really worth anymore of my time to me with this combat system.

Perfect and still good!

Even after so many years it is big joy and pleasure to play Starbase Orion once again and again! Game with high quality and as 4x strategy with high replay ability

One of the Best Games on iOS!

This is my go to game, all or most of the new apps out there are marketing pay to play games it seems, which keeps me coming back to games like Starbase Orion where you can play as freely as if on a PC game and that’s what this is an awesome pc game for iOS! Can’t do much better, but I’d like to see them try, or at least do an updated version of this. Currently the game doesn’t fit to screen on iPhone X.

Best 4X game on mobile

This game is amazing and worth every penny. I was hesitant when I friend suggested it, due to it being 8 years since original release and a 7.99 price tag, now I’m hooked and wish I’d have gotten it sooner!! In those 8 years, this has turned into a well polished game that’s complexity takes dozens of games to begin to appreciate, and hundreds to master. I’d be willing to pay doubler or triple for Starbase Orion 2 when it launches. The player base is amazing and it’s easy to find games. If you like turn base strategy, this is the best out there for iOS. I play SO more that Civ 6, its that good.

still good

Great rebook of all the classics

Go to when I want to relax and roll back time. Thanks for keeping this genre alive!

So good

Just like Masters of Orion. I think the only difference is you can’t control each move within fleet battles, but otherwise so good. Worth every penny.

Master of Orion II minus the copyright infringement

This little gem is the best 4x game on the App Store. The reason is simple: It’s a faithful recreation of the classic PC game Master of Orion II. I consider this a good thing, and you should too! You’ll notice the similarities the most in the strategic game, which basically uses the exact same mechanics as MOO. There’s very little else to say about it. You move your citizens on each planet into research, industry, or farming, and construct buildings to boost their production in each category. The tactical game and warship creation feel a little simplified. Unlike it’s spiritual successor, you do not control your ships directly in combat. You can give the AI orders, and then check in at the beginning of the next turn to see how they fared. There are just a few classes of weapons which form a sort of rock/paper/scissors hierarchy. In practice, it’s best to use all of them. But hey. It’s space 4x, and it really is the best you’ll find for iOS.

More than worth it.

This is one of the deepest mobile games I have ever played. I would rank it right up there with classic strategy games. I would be more than happy to pay another $8 for DLC, or even more.
