Starbase Orion for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best iOS gameWill be a classic for the iOS. Involving and rewarding gameplay, easy to navigate interface and intuitive touch controls. Tons of replay lies within this game. Enjoy.Version: 1.2.2
✓ An absolute sci-fi staple. A must have for sci-fi fansGlorious galactic battles, diplomacy and economics. This has been one of the only games that practically owns the memory space on every iPhone I’ve had and will have. Starbase Orion and galaxy on Fire 2 are two of the best games on the store for the past decade..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best game in the App StoreThis is easily my favourite game in the App Store. Complexity is pitched just right, with deep strategy in all of the main areas, ie. military, diplomatic, economic, industrial, etc. Plus it is very replayable- it is pretty much the only game I have come back to again and again. I have read in various places that Orion is not as 'deep' as Ascendancy. Can't see this myself. Ascendancy doesn't feature management of an economy, only industry, plus the diplomacy doesn't have half of the features Orion does. Having said this, why choose one or the other? I play the hell out of both. :-).Version: 1.2.1
✓ Fantastic Game!More features than the last few desktop 4x games I have played! I especially like the battles. The standing orders are perfect for the genre. My only regret was waiting this long to get the app. Couple of things I do wish were in the game: 1. Ship leveling, or veteran levels. Or, if that’s too game breaking, a way to see how many battles a given ship has participated in. 2. More portrait options in the custom race creator - possibly just the commander portraits? 3. Really, that’s about it. Game is great..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Too addictiveI've taken to deleting this app when I need to get some work done. I enjoy it way too much..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Unlimited scenariosEach game is different with endless fun and alternate strategies. Wish there were more games like it.Version: 1.2.9
✓ AmazingStarbase Orion is a great strategy game. It's a deep game, with a fun and easy interface that easily fits to any style of play, but rewards those who can balance Industry, Military, and Economy. The development team is lead by a guy who understands that gamers who fall in love with a game only want one thing, a developer who listens to us, and acts on it. This game is worth your money. For less than a movie ticket, you would be receiving a game that has brought me and a few of my friends together for some friendly galactic domination. If you are still not convinced, try the free version to see if its your cup of tea. I'm sure you won't be sorry for downloading it..Version: 1.1.9
✓ Worth the price tagGreat turn-based space strategy game, the development team are showing a lot of dedication by pumping out all of these bug fixes and features which have been requested by the community..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Very promisingIt plays well, the graphics are great and the game play is interesting. Sound is awkward in moment - birds on planets, really? Automanagment of the colony queues is awesome and saves a lot of time. There are only few bugs and for example managing the orders for fights is very confusing to say the least. But the biggest problem is that it is so slooooow. On iPhone4 even dragging the popolation from farm to research takes few seconds. This should be optimised and speed up. But overall this is the best 4x strategy for iPhone, well done!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Amazing community tooNot just a game but a developer who listens and communicates directly with the players. Takes criticism and compliment like a gentleman. Supportive community who will teach you how to play a*.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great game!Worth twice the price. Excellent example of iOS coding. Recommended to any sci fi fan..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Proper 4xA proper 4x game with in depth customisation and interesting combat. The turn compression for asynchronous multiplayer is a great idea..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Such a great multiplayer gameVery engaging and easy to get started. Even better, the learning curve is steady and you have tons to learn to reach the top of the leagues..Version: 1.2.9
✓ ClassicThis is the one game that I always go back to. Everything else gets deleted at one point or another. Why does the agent facility always take precedence on auto industry?.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Addictive and very easy to playThis game is soon addictive. Brilliant on the iPad and still fun on the iPhone. The game is very easy to pickup, and you'll soon be trying to work out the best strategy to conquer the galaxy. Great fun.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good turned based gameDevelopers seem to listen to the customers, which is important. This is a good, well paced game made better by the new update.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Spying currently brokenLike the reviewer from February, the spying UI doesn’t work for me. Can’t move spies off an empire once placed there. iPad Air 2020 and iOS 15.5.Version: 1.3.1
✓ AwesomeGreat game, loved MOO2 and love this game, would like more default races but that's all I can fault it for, nuff said..Version: 1.2.0
✓ BrilliantThe best game on my iPhone. Amazingly deep strategy game that seems to always have something new to learn. Have been playing it for years now. Single player is good but as multiplayer it's simply the best. Great community. Many many enjoyable games had. Developer is very active. Simply couldn't recommend this game more highly..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Star base Orion is the best 4x game for iOSStill the best after how many years? And yet still supported. Worth every penny.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Worth every penny!If you like turn based strategy then buy thus game. if you're partial to 4X space versions then buy this game with hesitation! Awesome game..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Outstanding game that passes the test of timeThis game is awesome! Highly customizable, great soundtrack, and so much replay value . I love it and hope support for it doesn’t end..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Goes far beyond a remakeSome call this a remake of Master of Orion, and this may have been the case years ago. But the creator has ran with the concept with very well thought out updates that don't serve to over complicate the game, but to offer a grander experience. This game does not go on sale (only during it's release was it discounted), but it's worth every penny to anyone looking for a deep, fulfilling 4X strategy game that rivals the masters of the genre on the PC, and surpassing those currently available on consoles..Version: 1.2.1
✓ This Game Is A Must-HaveI heard about this game from my friend and we play it every week. I simply cannot get off it. An amazing game, if only they could do a Dr Who one....Version: 1.2.9
✓ TechnologyThis game is awesome, the developers actually listen to us. It is by far the best 4x strategy game. If possible could you add 1 more class of ship more leaders and more technology.Version: 1.1.6
✓ Faithful to MOO except for...Space combat! Why can’t we control space combat?!?! What sadistic cruelty to take away that most satisfying aspects of MOO? Where you can use a stellar converter on a scout! Oh what a let down when you built a 60 ship fleet with mostly titans and battleships; to have a showdown with a similarly sized enemy fleet, but only to see the AI have fun with the battle..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Must try! Incredible game!Simply a MoO2 clone with a few changes. Works great with iphone and well worth the money! Extremely addictive and rewarding gameplay..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great 4x gameI'm new to 4x games and this one is fantastic. It's well-thought out, fun, and a great experience. I suggest playing a game against the ai first to get used to everything..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Last update.It doesn't crash any more since the last update thanks, but for some reason my spies no longer have any effect..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Best civ type game on iOSThis game is top notch, better than any competitor. A big thanks to the creator of this game, I've been searching for something more in depth that the iOS version of civilization. This is it!!! 8.99 is totally worth it. Highly recommend. Can't express my appreciation for this game enough. Playing on a 6s on 9.2. No crashes, no glitches so far. It's ridiculous that fools play this on an outdated device or iOS update. Don't blame a game for your crappy machine. Normal is harder now, most of these old complaints have been fixed. Cry in your pillows, no one wants to hear your bs.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Addictive and amazingThis game is everything I have ever wanted on iOS. It is difficult deep and strategic. There is no one strategy to win the game but a constantly evolving number of choices. I constantly lose this game to the Ai, but I love it even more every time as I learn more and more about this spectacular game. Just buy it get through the tutorial and you will thank me..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Loved itBought it play over xmas holidays while away, and spent countless hours on it. :) The only problem I had was that the tutorial crashes a lot. When I moved on to the actual game, I played for hours without problems. The cloud based AI is also a nice addition. Makes the AI so much faster. Personally I don't mind paying more for a game that has value, instead the usual crap you pay 99p, spend a few minutes and move on. Kudos to Chimera SW for having the courage to develop such a nice game for a niche market..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Best 4x GameThis is my favorite game, and I don't have many. It's deep, difficult and infinitely replayable..Version: 1.1
✓ Pretty good.Just like master of Orion, only problem is multiplayer takes ages..Version: 1.1.7
✓ ExcellentAny 4x fan will love this game. Been a fan since supremacy on the amiga, and this game truly lives up to moo. The only thing that would make it epic would be diplomacy and to choose own colour for your race.Version: 1.0.8
✓ Galaxy screen not sortingReturned to the game and discovered that the Galaxy screen is not working. It’s sorted Alphabetically by default and can’t be changed. Please fix..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Best waste of time ever!I highly recommend Starbase Orion to anyone who's ever enjoyed a 4X game. Certainly worth the price compared to the number of hours i've put in playing it - I'd say that it's cost me less than $.10 an hour to play at this time..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great game, great devNot only is this a faithful recreation of the classic MoO series for iOS, the dev is very responsive to comments and suggestions. The improvements and expansions to play have been extensive since release. Probably the best money I’ve spent on an AppStore game..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Addictive and in-depthPut simply - if you liked master of Orion you will also like this game. The dev team are constantly updating, adding features and responding to user feedback. The only drawback is that it's really addictive!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ Very fun, but i wish it was harder.This game is nostalgic for me, as i played Orion: Battle of Antares (i think that’s what it was called) often when i was a child. It’s very enjoyable to spread your civilization across the stars and improve it gradually, but i always end up fairly disappointed by the lack of challenge. For clarity, i only play the single player. The AI is very unaggressive. In fact, the word might be passive. They don’t colonize much, they never seem to terraform (leaving them at a massive disadvantage mid-late game) and their military forces are almost always outclassed by the most casual effort. They seem terrified of space monsters, allowing the high value planets that are feebly protected by said monsters to always be ripe for the picking by the player. I only play at the hardest difficulty with the AI bonuses on, and still it presents no challenge. I’ve played countless campaigns and only been attacked a handful of times, which were easily repulsed. Victory is inevitable, and completely effortless. I love terraforming worlds until my many colonies are all Gaia class industrial powerhouses, but there isn’t much satisfaction winning every time against completely inept opponents. As a call to the developers, is there any way you guys could make this more challenging? Thanks for the good work, it’s a great game in all other ways. Thanks, Wilson..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Need more like thisGraphically speaking this might not be the best game, but other then that this is the best 4x space game I personally have found within the App Store. Keep up the good work as I'd like to see this expanded even more in the sequels. Thank you. PS Any devs read this, more of this type please..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Classic! Great way to play with my father!My father played Stars of Orion when I was a really little kid. Now that I’m grown up we have been playing distance turn based Starbase Orion games! It’s been great! No matter where I am in the world or what time zone I can still hang out with my dad..Version: 1.2.9
✓ 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.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great gameI have always been a fan of 2d top down view games and this is a brilliant game. Could do with more types of ships like support ships which are more defensive and formations so your ships dont just all split up.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Amazing game 4x fans and moo2 fans rejoiceGreat game really captures the strategy side of things since 1.1 the AI is now tough it adapts its quick and makes the game a longer struggle. Fantastic game definitely recommend you having a go. Great job devs keep it up. Can't wait for the future patches.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Excellent strategy gameThis is a really great 4X game, that not only replicates a complex experience but actually adds some interesting ideas to the formula. The UI flow is a bit mouse-centric in style and doesn't uses multi-touch as much as it could inside ways, but the game flow and features are top-notch..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Great gameGot this years ago and still love playing it every once and a while. Please don’t stop updating it!.Version: 1.2.9
✓ FantasticThis game is superb. If you like 4x games then you HAVE to get this. The one gripe is that after hours spent on my game, I'm now getting it crash on my save. Really quite annoying as I was one tech away from getting them all I think. Anyway, will start again and see how it goes... will come back and rate 5 stars if I can finish a game. Update: occasionally crashes out in late game, if you go back in the game often kicks out right away again, however if you quickly go into a management screen it normally continues. Minor annoyance if you persevere :).Version: 1.0.3
✓ Just like MOOFor all those old Master of Orion Players, this very enjoyble game plays well and continues to evolve. The developer has also proven very responsive to feedback. Love it!.Version: 1.0.9
✓ More like this pleaseGreat game! I have come back to play it multiple times which I never do..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Masters of Orion for iOS! A real gem.You’ll have hours of fun and the online community is active with people willing to help out new players. A very generous and friendly bunch. Feels like the classic Masters of Orion series..Version: 1.2.9
✓ 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..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great gameGreat update, love the sorting options on the Empire screen. If you love Civ, then this is the game for you. Cloud saving of games too so play on ipad then on iphone next day on the same game. Thanks for a great game..Version: 1.0.4
✓ 5*Great game, they just need to do an update and bring out new things.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Get it now if u love strategy games!It is by far the best turn based multiplayer strategy game available on iOS... The developer is an active player, and making it better all the time! The league of players is active with a really supportive community of excellent competitors!.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Truly awesome!This game is unbelievably good fun. Its the only one that I've found on the app store that truly deserves to call itself 4x. With its randomly generated galaxies, tech tree, custom races, ship design, auto build lists/governors, semi-tactical battles and generally epic feel, Starbase Orion is a winner. The AI puts up a hefty fight too! It's completely playable on iPhone 3GS - as of v1.0.6 the slow turns are a thing of the past - and just gets better and better with every version. I'm impressed by the developer's dedication to customer service and improving the game, not to mention the frequent update cycle. This is a game that has depth and enormous potential, with a developer who listens to his community, fixes bugs and adds new features. I'd happily pay more than the asking price to experience the same game on my PC! In short: why are you still reading this? Buy it now!!.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Needs workThis feels like a beta and I was toying giving it only 3 stars. Planetary review and management is lacklustre but the engine does seem to be open for changes. The overviews for planets need to be more like ascendancy which is currently slightly better than this for value for money, around £5 is a stocking high amount in its current state. The multiplayer is very good though which is its saving grace for my star rating. One of the few genuine 4x games on the app store, and developers with good ethics can only be a good thing. There is a bug in one multiplayer game where any race I select to join a game with is rejected, I can't join or. Quit the game which is disappointing..Version: 1.0.7
✓ ExcellentTurn off the computers cheating 'production bonuses', and battle 3 hard computer opponents for a really great time..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Great GameAn awesome game. One of the if not the best strat game available. Complex yet simple to pick up and play. Is always being updated. Well done..Version: 1.1.6
✓ Excellent universe domination strategyReally brings me back to the older times when people knew how to create games that are well balanced and fairly intuitive to play. Even on most difficult level it's not hard to win, other than the random starting element maybe making it impossible to win..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Fantastically addictive!Stumbled across this on a reddit thread for modern versions of Pharoah. My first 4X turn based game, but I quickly got used to it and am enjoying the experience. Was initially a bit reluctant to pay so much for a game with limited reviews but so glad I did - you then have the uninterrupted satisfaction of full gameplay without having to constantly buy more “credits” or whatever to upgrade things. Warning - this game is incredibly addictive and will disrupt your life!!.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Super funThis game is addicting if you buy at and you like RTSs you wii love.Version: 1.2.5
✓ Meilleur jeu sur App StoreSuper jeu inspiré de MOO « master of Orion ». Peux modifier les équipements de vaisseaux. Peux spécifier stratégie de combat pour chaque vaisseau ou pour tous. Toutes les planètes peuvent être géré individuellement ou on peux utilisé des gestion automatique pré-conçus ou même modifier ces gestions automatiques. Beaucoup mais beaucoup de recherche a faire. Les galaxies peuvent être créé au goût. Oufff!!!! C’est vraiment complet comme jeux. Manque les Antarens (attaques extra-terrestre aléatoire qui augmente la difficulté) et une fin plus épique..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Play while onlineI've been playing this game for years, and just realised it was time to update my review. This game is now pretty much a masterpiece, with a complex, detailed tech tree, procedurally generated galaxy, interesting hero characters, and decent (and aggressive) AI. The cloud processing option is 100% worth switching on - without it enabled turns can take ages to process, whereas with it on they're very quick indeed. It's worth noting that even though this game was first released many moons ago, the developer is still actively tuning in response to community feedback. Thoroughly recommended - buy this game!.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best 4X game on mobileThis 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..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Master of Orion2, but better!I've been of fan of the Master of Orion and Galactic civilization serires. This one is a excellant port, maybe better then the original, perhaps not on par with galactic civilization 2 with all mods, but it's really great! Worth every penny!!!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Simply the bestBest strategy game on any mobile device and the best 4x game in recent history..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Love you guysThis game is amazing and great for when your in traffic. It could use a lot more tech options and civilisation options however I would suggest looking at the space empires franchise you can get a lot of ideas from there.Version: 1.1.3
✓ Love this game, but seems last iOS update broke somethingCan no longer bid on a leader. The confirmation dialog won’t work and just locks up the game. I hope this can be fixed and would be happy to pitch in from a Dev perspective..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great 4X gameI’ve been playing it for several years on an iPad and it still holds up. Such a great flashback to a classic game and genre..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great game, worth a try if you like CivI lost track of time playing this game, and I'm only in the tutorial. Played 2.5 hours straight, very in depth, easy to learn, but lots to tweak and configure. Seems it have tons of re-playable aspects, and I haven't even loaded an "actual" game yet. I've been looking for a space based Civ game, and this certainly is it. Worth the 8$ that's for sure..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Well supportedI am amazed at the evolution of this game. The updates are all so good, full of improvements and fan requested tweaks. I love what has been done to improve the AI the most. I have spent dozens of hours playing, and recommend it to all my friends..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Best 4x game in the storeIf you're looking for a 4x game in the classic Masters of Orion style,look no further.This game is excellent and is always getting updates..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Amazing gameOne of the best iOS games around the only thing it needs now is the ability to control fleets in battle like master of Orion 2 and in my opinion it would be truly excellent.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Classic GameI’ve been playing this game since it’s first incarnation ‘Masters Of Orion’ in the early 90s. Still as enjoyable and playable in this current format.... must have played it 10,000,000 times!😳😂.Version: 1.2.9
✓ WoopExcellent game. I'm really enjoying this. Perhaps one of the best features is that it's universal and saves games to iCloud. I can play it in my lunch break on my iPhone, and pick up where I left on my iPad at home!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Not masters of Orion or is it. LolHad this game since it came out.... never regretted buying it. If your bored make your own species and experiment. Thank you for creating this game..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Awesome gameOne of my favourite..too addictive.....Version: 1.2.9
✓ Orion series highpointThis game is my favourite. I play it everyday and since the original Moo in 93 I have been addicted. This version, although no perfect, is very enjoyable over and over again..Version: 1.2.9
✓ A classic rebornI've been waiting for some time for a remake of Master of Orion to be released. This is a great attempt, managing to nicely recreate the atmosphere of the original. There are some stability and performance issues, but overall they are not severe enough to spoil things. This would definitely benefit from further updates, in particular for providing more diplomacy options. Overall, a great app and I highly recommend it for fans of the old classics like MOO2 or Galactic Civilizations.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Starbase OrionThis is a very enjoyable turn based "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate" game with a vibrant player community that supports a wide variety of players from casual gamers to competitive league players. The basic goal of the game is to eliminate all opponents in the galaxy. You should first explore the galaxy to find the best planets to occupy, then colonize them and build them up into industrial, research or farming colonies, while researching advanced technologies to make your empire more efficient and your fleet more powerful. What I like: * you can adjust your species' attributes to take advantage of features of the game map or to suit your personal playing style. * you can use "spies" to attack more powerful enemies without launching a ship against them, or to steal technologies from those who have better tech than you. * there's a good mix of technologies that provide benefits for production, research, farming, combat, exploration, and spying. * you can outfit your spaceships in any manner you choose (within the limits of your technology). * its turn-based play system allows me time think and to play when I have time to play. * no in-game purchases! * no advertisements! What could be better: * the automatic player matching system pairs me up with idle players who never seem to take a turn. I end up playing a multi-player game all by myself! The solution is to announce that you want to play a game on the "Space Bar" chat room where there is usually a live person available to respond to your request. * once I obtained enough experience with the game, I found the AI much too easy to defeat. Even against seven AI set at the "impossible" level, it is not much of a challenge to defeat them. The solution, of course, is to play with real people from the Space Bar who are always ready to give you a good game..Version: 1.2.9
✓ One of the best 4xI love everything about this game. If you played Master of Orion you’ll love this game too. I really hope there is a sequel!.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Very goodNot easy at first, but it get better and better and ritcher over time..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Good gamePretty awesome but crashes almost every time I open it..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Top game. Well worth the moneyStrategy at it's finest. Ok, few things to still work out, but after totally dominating my AI opponent by going full research, then building the biggest ship possible and just bombing the he'll out of him from space, I'm hooked. There are not enough games like this. Top work!!!!!.Version: 1.0.3
✓ It's 2018, and I'm still hookedI love this game. Staying up too late playing it is my only problem hahaha. It's engrossing, and thankfully they're able to create a game with a lot of depth making you micromanage. The music's great - nice use of strings. Playing it over and over through the "4X" stages is engrossing. They've really polished this over the years..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great game, developers work hard to create an awesome product!This game is just so awesome. Big fan of Master of Orion series and this game is right up there. It has its issues but this latest version introduced new technologies that should resolve and if not, give the tools to the developers to do so. The biggest issue is that, when your are far into a big game (single or multiple players), it will just fail on you and you will not be able to complete it..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Pretty much the best 4X game on iOSBrilliant stuff. Release it on the Mac AppStore and that'll be my free time all over and done with!.Version: 1.1.3
✓ GravediggerReally nice game ! You can lose yourself in this for hours. The reviews here are pretty accurate , I have encountered a few small bugs but nothing to get worked up over. Well worth buying ,especially if you are sick of in app money pits run by losers !.Version: 1.2.5
✓ StrategyFanExcellent and entertaining game, improving continually thanks to the updates..Version: 1.0.5
✓ So satisfying.One of the few games that's always on my phone. It's been actively enhanced since it was released (although the cosmetics could do with an upgrade) and just gets more and more playable..Version: 1.2.5
✓ DerpExcellent game, great community, this game is tons of fun!.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Amazing!Simply incredible! Keep enhancing this and it will be the best game on the app store! My only request would be 3D graphics during the playback of the battles......Version: 1.1.1
✓ It's the best game for mobileThis is the best game for mobile, period. Such a good 4x game, have been playing continuously for 2+ years and not bored. Multiplayer is awesome and many types of games configs/galaxies keeps it fresh. Fans of Civilization or Master of Orion should not miss this one..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Still my favorite fall back gameI try playing other games but this is still my favorite game as it reminds of the masters of Orion game for the computer. Can’t go wrong with a classic..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great game!Top civ game to play! Please make it second screen compatible so it can be played on TV.Version: 1.2.2
✓ Why does it not work anymoreI loved the game but all of a sudden it no longer works. I thought and update might be required, but it only allows me to open the app. When I open it, I am returned to the iPhone Home Screen..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Just greatI love turn based strategy space games. Very similar to one of my all time favourites -master of orion 2, just with updated EVERYTHING. If you liked that, you'll love this. Buy!.Version: 1.2.0
✓ You are forgiven!Great game, been on my iPad FOREVAR👽👽👽.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best 4X Space Strategy on iOSThis is definitely up there with best in-depth games available for iOS. The new leaders update has really helped increase the tactical options available. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.1.4
✓ 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..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great version of moo!If you like master of Orion you will love this :).Version: 1.0.8
✓ Great way to get through a boring commuteIt really does have the look and feel of Master of Orion, although it's clear it was designed as a quick game to while away a few hours. The focus is on building ships and then using them kill the enemy's ships. There is a diplomacy/spying component, but that it fairly rudimentary which makes it lack the depth to make this a truly great game. That said, it is great fun to play. The other's destruction is the only way to win the game and that's where the fun is at. Graphics are good for the medium, space battles are automated once you've given your initial orders but can be replayed and analyzed. This is one of the better strategy games I've found for the iPad so far. Definitely do not regret buying it..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great gameGreat game, still enjoy playing it once in a while, but stopped working with 14.2 update :(.Version: 1.2.9
✓ So goodJust 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..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Good startThis game is a bit like civilisation in space and very much like ascendancy which is also available on the iPhone. Ascendency is prettier, more sophisticated and has more options BUT it costs more and the user interface is far clunkier than Orion's. Both need tutorials because they are complex strategy games. If you are looking for a big distraction on long journeys then this could be for you as it is very absorbing and who doesn't want to conquer a galaxy?.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Best 4X on iOS bar noneYou won't find a better strategy game out there..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Great game and nostalgicI bought this game gods know how many years ago when it first came out on the IPhone and was instantly taken back to the days in the mid-late 90’s playing some cracking games. I’ve played this so many times and it’s great for long flights/trains!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ FantasticGreat port of a genre normally reserved for PC. Game runs well, AI is good, and the mobile simplifications don’t detract from the game. Also no microtransactioms offering you an in game boost!.Version: 1.3.0
✓ BrilliantA gem. Worth every penny. 5 different species with totally different characteristic. Want to attack from the first moment? Chose Drask or Isather. Want to prepare a bit better weapon? Than Humans or Cybans will do better. During the first time step-by-step tutor will lead you through options and controlls; it is not as difficult as it looks at the first glance ;) I played tons and tons of times - now I wish it could be a bit more complicated (?) and have even bigger maps (???) Any chance? 5 star is not enough..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Even better then Master of Orion 2Player feedback keeps making this game better and better - also not a battery hog like many other games!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ AwesomeI was a big fan of masters of Orion and played them to death, so this is a dream come true for me. Simply the best 4x game out there, I no longer need fear boredom on long haul flights. My wife on the other hand may divorce me..Version: 1.0.5
✓ Its like a mobile stellaris!I don’t normally rate games, but ever since my gaming pc broke in late 2020 ive been looking for a game like Paradox’s Stellaris. People this is it. You can colonize planets like stellaris, make fleets and have tech like stellaris, its just great. I remeber playing an older game like this but idk what its called, but this is a must have for stellaris fans.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Epic 4x gameThis gem has almost everything a 4x space empire game should. Highly strategic and very replayable, it's exactly what I was looking for..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Timeless classic 4xI started playing this game years ago when it had about half the features it has now. It was great at half, now it's probably the best 4x game on IOS. Unfortunately, the developers planned sequel died for reasons unexplained, so after playing this for many years, it's getting old but I'm still playing on long trips.....Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great!If you played master of Orion 2 then you'll love this. I'd give it five stars if there was a diplomacy option. Without one your enemy isn't characterised and it feels one sided. Could do with a hall of fame too. It's still a bit buggy as it can crash randomly and when you try to save..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Outstanding!I picked up this game a few days ago, after putting off the purchase for nearly two years, and now I regret not picking it up sooner! This game surpassed my expectations about how in-depth the development of colonies and technology and how much strategy there is. As soon as I said "Hello" in the chat, I had different people eager to teach me the ins and outs of playing! The community is very mature and helpful! Multiplayer is the most fun because there are so many options you can customize like match options, racial traits, and auto build focuses. If you are on the edge, do yourself a favor and get this gem 💎! Well worth the 8 bucks, and I own 242 apps, so I know what I'm talking about ! :-)👍.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Great GameOverall a great game. It deserves a 5 star rating but I'm giving it 4 because it lacks one thing: the ability to rename stars and planets. That's it. There are some other suggestions I have, but these wouldn't be enough to give SO less than 5 stars. You should be able to pick your field color. Would be nice if stars had more planets. Would be nice if you could do SOMETHING with gas giants. Also, would be great if build things like starbases and warp gates on one planet in a system would lock out other planets in the system if you tried to build the same on another planet..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Favorite game on IOS!!!Starbase Orion is the best game on IOS in my opinion! It is a well crafted and enjoyable 4X conquer-the-universe, turn-based game. I run it on my iPhone 6 and an older iPad 2, and it plays flawlessly on both. The server-based turns allow me to play a turn on one device, and the next turn on the other with no hiccups. I used to play Master of Orion with my friends during LAN parties years ago, but now we can connect up from anywhere with Starbase Orion! We often use the in-game chat to keep up with each other. I just wish it were easier to find on the APP store, as it doesn't show up in most searches. My thanks to the developers for creating this awesome game! UPDATE: Nov 2020 - IOS 14.2 update resulted in the game crashing at launch. Can’t play on my iPhone XR now. Using my older iPad..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best strategy game on iOSThis game is the deepest and best strategy game on the iOS.Version: 1.2.9
✓ AwesomeThis is the best strategic game I have ever played.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Thank youThank you for continuing to add content and updates years after I've purchased this fantastic 4X game..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great as OldAs 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?.Version: 1.2.9
✓ Replayability at 1000%Somehow, this game is able to get you hooked on for a long time, even with mediocre graphs and horrible music/sounds. Not even a full port from the pc game, but still a must have gem. Very addictive !.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Best 4x game in IOSThese guys are good, they continually are adding content, and shock horror, they listen to their community. Last update added some great new multiplayer features. In fact, this is probably one of the best multiplayer 4x games out there for any platform. If you like moo2 then this is the game for you. My only gripe, is an expanded tech tree, as I miss fighters, stella converter and death rays in moo2. Be good to see something that could be done with gas giants and asteroids but i think this is coming in a later release. Given the amount of content added in the last 6 months I'm sure is wont be far down the track. 5 stars with no hesitation.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Galactic conquest at its bestIf you are a fan of 4X games, you owe yourself this little gem !.Version: 1.2.3
✓ No.1 must have app!To put it simply, buy this game. It looks good and plays better! A real killer 4X strategy title in the mold of Master of Orion 2. Its worth many times the asking price and even comes with free updates being released regularly. You will end up sinking many an hour into this little gem! Enjoy :).Version: 1.1.4
✓ Worth the cashI saw this game, but didn't purchase it right away. A friend encouraged me to buy it, and I'm so pleased I did. Great game. Best of it's kind on ios. AI is challenging, but fun, and multi player versus friends is fantastic. Turn based, so games can go out your own pace. If you like strategy empire building games, then this is a must buy.Version: 1.2.4
✓ Great little gameA very enjoyable game that's inspired by the classic game master of Orion. I loved that game as a kid and was delighted to see someone brought this out. Fair play to you. Would love to see some diplomacy options and more control over the space battles though. That said its great to see such a variety of games developed for iOS. Keep up the good work.Version: 1.0.2
✓ My favoriteBeen playing this game for years. Still my favorite..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Best supported 4x game you can buyAmazing level of dedication by the developer. Everyone who likes 4x games, and all of us should ... your money is best spent on this one. I can't think of any other game on the mobile platform or anywhere else that has this kind of service level. Boggles my mind. Good job, guys..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Conquer the universeExcellent game. Really reminds me of my love of galactic civ et al. The graphics are brilliant but the game quite limited at the moment. Hopefully they will invest more time and effort to produce this more. The game requires more detail. Larger universes more races. Minor races perhaps? More diplomacy asteroid belts to mine etc etc Still really good game and if you love space strategy games you will love this. Please guys keep up the good work!.Version: 1.0.5
✓ Excellent turn based space strategy gameThis is an excellent turn based strategy game in the mold of Masters of Orion and Galactic Civilizations PC games. It needs some more user customization options but other than that, it is well worth the money..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Finally - 4X Built From The Ground Up For iOSSimply awesome. If you love 4X games then why are you wasting time reading reviews and not your empire status reports?.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great gameWas looking for something similar to civilization. This is perfect. Best strategy game on the app store..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Awesome.Epic 4X game which has in depth gameplay. This is what I like. I wish there were more high quality games like this. This deserves higher rankings and more attention. My advice to anyone pondering on whether or not they should get it, is too GET IT!.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Worth every pennyA great 4x game. The best thing about this game is the person or group that made it. This game has been out for years and years and amazingly they are still actively updating the game. I have never seen a game like this in the App Store. Everyone else is out for there money the quick and easy way. This game keeps going and keeps you coming back. They have never resorted to pay to win. They love this game as much as their fan base does. Keep up the good work. I would give you 10/5 stars if I could..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Greatest 4x gameIts wonderful. Almost every problem with the game, like no retreating, odd issues and automated combat has been solved with 1.1 Combat now allows you to pick a primary target, escort, and retreat. So while still automated, it feels much less random and more tactical. Game has great multiplayer, which also recieves constant updates and has enough players to make it work. Just make a custom game, and the next person to make a custom game with those settings will join you and you take turns whenever you want. You can also now pass and play with friends, as well as play with friends through gamecenter and the like. A basic team mode has also been added, a welcome edition to an already feature packed game. Survival co-op is also in, where other players and yourself take on the AI and try to win. I can imagine this with 2 other geeky friends working really well. What makes this game so brilliant is the devs who LISTEN to player feedback constantly, almost all the features I just mentioned were all requested by many players. The devs are open to suggestions, because they know that a happy customer base can very easily nag more customers and keep your payers around for a long time. Just buy it. If not for the wonderful game itself, maybe for the devs who deserve a measly 7 dollars from your wallet that would take most people one hour to earn..Version: 1.1
✓ Lovin ItGreat game. I must have spent several weeks playing. Right up there with the best Civ-style games. Single and multi-player both excellent. If you like turn based strategy then this is a Must Have Buy. Enjoy..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Master of Orion II minus the copyright infringementThis 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..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Star base OrionAwesome game I play It every late night for the past few years. I wish one could make up their own aliens stead of the same ones but otherwise going random helps. It’s a lot of fun I also wish it was still supported with continued updates but I still beats any other 4x games out for the iPad..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Modern Master of OrionSooo goooood! Just like the old version of Master of Orion. Easy to play, cool races and interesting graphics. Would be great if there was a fun/varied ending when you win the game as opposed to nothing. Any chance of a campaign style game?.Version: 1.2.7
✓ FantasticMust buy for Strat game fans.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Excellent game but unstableA fantastic game, very reminiscent of Master of Orion, but crashes regularly on my iPad 1. I have shut down all other apps and rebooted but it still crashes on me. Thankfully there's an autosave. I do miss being able to control the ships directly in combat..Version: 1.0.2
✓ Awesome UpdateThe best iOS space 4x game is now even better. The new update makes combat a lot more tactical and as a result more enjoyable plus the addition of colony/military leaders makes each play through a bit more unpredictable. If you like 4x games this is worth every penny..Version: 1.1.4
✓ AmazingIncreddible game with a much better combat system than any othe IPod 4x game, and MOO/MOO2 in my opinion. And a much simpler interface and play than games like ascension but still has enough complexity to keep you hooked. Leaders for the win!!!.Version: 1.1.4
✓ STILL A CLASSIC (July 2022)BUY IT RIGHT NOW… LOOK at the ratings. This 4x classic is heavily inspired by a 90’s classic “Master of Orion” In my mind though, this is our Stellaris! A shame… no upcoming publishers or game investors have not looked at this game, and reached out to the developer (Rocco) He is amazing with his community, always engaging - would he had… had the backing, this would have been a large platform bringing profits, easily could had fit in an esports type setting as well, focusing on the battles and various tech setups for each players - play style. Excellent multiplayer (main feature).Version: 1.3.1
✓ AwesomeVery good game highly recommended. Can't wait for another update.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Absolute Greatest Sim Game - NO ADS OR PURCHASESPick a race. Build a colony. Fight your neighbors. What’s better? Best part is no marketing whatsoever! Love the game and have played it countless hours over the last few years. Still my favorite game on iPad. Only suggestion would be to allow more than 1 human player. Smooth, no glitches, and always challenging..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great adaption of a classic!Master of Orion fans should pick this up as it's the best reimagination of the original 4x with optimisations for modern touch controls. The developers are constantly improving and adding features to make the game more enjoyable, particularly multiplayer. Sadly, the tactical combat has been replaced with a predictive one, much thanks to the multiplayer focus, but it's still fun to watch the replay of the battles in retrospect..Version: 1.2.2
✓ Simply AwesomeEverything you could wish for in a remake of Masters of Orion. It's got all the depth of the original but is also adjusted for iOS perfectly. Game Center syncing and multiplayer is a real cherry on top..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great 4X GameThey keep on giving, best 4X game I have found for iOS.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Great game!I've had this game for 5 years and multiple iPhones/iPads, and it's still a classic..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Bugs in Latest OSI’ve been playing for many years. Love this game. Wish there were more like it… But diplomacy has bugs with new OS15 patch: the game freezes if you try to create a pact. Still playable. Just not with that mechanic..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Just Great!!!Well worth the purchase. Great port of Orion to the Pad. Developers who care and great new multiplayer update. Easy to join, chat etc...Recommend to any and all :).Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great and Continues to beKeeps the legend of MOO2 alive. Continued updates keep the game fresh. Developers are awesome!.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Not badThis game is a great time sink, several problems : Ai appears to love unguarded troop transports. Tech tree is all over the place no real structure and is too quick to complete. Ship module choices are very limited No way to upgrade your troops No manual battles.. The automatic battles are a nice feature but don't break up the game... Rts or turn based manual battles would be great. Foreign relations are non existent Game may have a slight slow down during endgame.. Endgame feels more like a mop up then a fight the ai does not react as you take over their territory On the good side The Interface is near perfect. Good work on this, fix up the queues so you can see the specs as you touch things in the build queues Graphically the game is very nice it s a great way to kill 40min on the train. Add more modules and fix the tech tree!.Version: 1.0.2
✓ A superb 4x4 space gameA great interface, easy to pick up 4x4 game. Only really just scratched the surface but looks like it has a good balance of depth and ease of use..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Great gameThis is the best, by far, of the sci fi strategy games. I do wish it was harder at the higher levels, with at least one Civ that is hostile in the multi Civ games. I like to build an empire, then fight it out with an AI empire..Version: 1.2.9
✓ Awesome strategy game! The best!Amazing support from the devs, and a fantastic single player and multiplayer experience. Don't miss this one!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Awesome gameTurn based game like masters of Orion. The game is complex and for people who like strategy. It has an awesome multiplayer base and games happen regularly. It's not a pay to win game. You pay once. Games can be short in length such as 50 turns..Version: 1.2.9
✓ AwesomeReally enjoying this. Two small criticisms: a) The game saving seems clumsy. No way to save over another game, which means even if you give it the same name, you end up with 2. Maybe I'm just the weird picky guy who likes to have less saves around :) b) No easy way to move between planets when micro managing. Even if they are in the same solar system, you have to back out to the main galaxy map, and then choose the same solar system again. But as you can see, gameplay wise, I have no issues worth dropping it from a 5 star rating. Orion just graduated to my favorite iPad game..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Great gameIf you are fan of 4x space game, this is a must..Version: 1.2.2
✓ So happy :)With many aps there is that window of doubt between having clicked 'buy now' and seeing whether what you just downloaded really is all that you thought it would be, or falls short. If you adored Masters of Orion, then you will love this ap. I am not rating *the game* here, others are better placed to comment on whether there are better games in this genre. I am reviewing *the app* which for me gets 5/5. This is exactly what I expected it to be and more, and in my view is beautifully adapted for the iPad. Some of the features I didn't even discover until my second or third romp across the galaxy, but that is simply because like many old school gamers I still think of a help manual as just technical installation data and legal guff. But as someone who remembers typing in lines of code manually into a computer so that you *could* then play the game you just entered the program for, I have to say I am delighted at how well this classic game has been adapted and elegantly implemented onto iPad..Version: 1.1.1
✓ Great gameBest app ever. I play a lot with the online community. This is easily my most played app.Version: 1.2.7
✓ Best 4X on the App StoreAnd great support for years. Looking forward to Starbase Orion 2..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Love it! The best ipad game i have found.If you consider yourself a Master of Orion fan then this game is the best thing on the ipad. I find things a bit fiddly on the iphone but it works perfectly fine. Latest update is excellent..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Good, but...I'm having some trouble with AI. They seem to just build ships to the point that their GC goes far below 0, I always seem outnumbered even though I have more GC and production. I can't even win on easy. Fix this please..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great gameHands down the best strategy game currently on iOS. Heaps of replayability. I always find myself coming back to play more..Version: 1.2.7
✓ Awesome game but crashing with iphone6sAwesome game. Only problem is I got new iPhone and now it crashes just as the game is about to get exciting. Can you make an orion2 with even more cool stuff?? I've had this game for a long time and always play it til now.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Top quality 4X/Empire Building strategy gameStill an incredible empire building/space strategy game! Easy to get started in the game with helpful tutorials, but plenty of advanced options and depth for advanced players and replay-ability. I’ve played this game almost since release, and I’m still a fan. AI needs update: it gets limited later in the game, especially in areas like like time management, resource acquisition, and diplomacy. I.e., sending a ton of single vessels spaced over several turns, against a large fleet: not smart. Regardless of race, spends all their money on ships, rather than investing in infrastructure to build wealth. Won’t surrender when overwhelmed. Update the AI, and this game would be very refreshed..Version: 1.2.9
😕 Starbase Orion Negative Reviews
