Great as Old

As someone who played Masters of Orion when it came out on PC, I LOVE this game. I wish it were more difficult though in single player, and multi-player never really seems to work out. This is such a fun game though and I’m glad to have it! Completely worth the money. When is the second version coming out?
So Underrated!

This game is one of the best on the App Store. No micro transactions at all. So much fun to play.
A Perfect 4X Space Game
NGMartin
This one is the best; a PC-worthy 4X game with all the right ingredients. Customization and endless replayability, theme, tactical complexity, grand strategy, research, espionage, diplomacy... Not to mention a great community, multiplayer support, and best of all: NO IN-APP PURCHASES. Civ/MoO fans, look no further.
Problems With IOS 10
Disgusted201111
Excellent game before IOS 10. Now game freezes for long periods and worse, will not save games (even though it says it will). When you save a game (or restart from auto save), it reverts to a very early point in he game. You can easily lose 30-60 minutes of activity this way. Very discouraging.
Definitely reminded me of MOO2

Created a 1 vs 2 galaxy, took the "psilons" equivalent and proceeded to easily execute a technological win. The tech tree could be easier to navigate. Not enough of a negative to loose a star. AI seemed weak. I'll have to play again with different settings. My opponents seemed complacent. I quickly outpaced them in terms of expansion. I probably waited too long before I declared war because when I did I barely met resistance.
Outstanding

I really love how close this is to the old computer game Masters of Orion II. It was my favorite game in college. I'm glad to have it on my phone now.
Fantastic game though hard

This game is great. And it has the funniest game winning event ever. The button for 'next turn' disappears. No score. No congratulations. It is just over. Regardless. A great game for balancing research vs. growth vs. military. It is easy to lose at this game. Even on 'easy'. I play Civilization on the PC and played the game this game is clearly based on (MOO2). And I still lost my first few games on easy. And it is easy on your battery life. I would say this game and Pixel Dungeon are the games that are easiest on my battery that I have downloaded for some time. And I appreciate that. Great game. Well worth the money and glad the developer keeps making it better.
MoO for You!

Starbase Orion is a PvP-oriented game with many similarities to Master of Orion II. Beyond this, the developer is very community oriented and has great plans and aspirations for the gradual evolution of this game. If you have any interest in this type of game you should definitely make this purchase!
A great 4x

Starbase Orion is a great 4x. I can't say anything about it that you haven't already read elsewhere, but I will say this. There are no IAP and you pay once with upgrades forever. The game is constantly updated either to work out bugs or to tweak the game for better play. The developer really cares about the game and that we all have a good experience with it. To Rocco: I would easily pay for this again. Thanks for the great work.
