Starbase Orion Reviews

5*

Great game, they just need to do an update and bring out new things

Great game and nostalgic

Althoria on

United Kingdom

I 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!

An absolute sci-fi staple. A must have for sci-fi fans

Signor A Mansour on

United Kingdom

Glorious 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.

The game was good but AI went bad :(

mama didnt rsise no fool on

United Kingdom

It used to be a great game but the A.I. Is now mostly useless, as only 1 to 2 A.I. empires actually build fleets and expand beyond their home world per game. Maybe there’s a bug that they don’t build new scout ships when the first one is destroyed? Maybe they are just locked in internal spy battles with each other stifling growth? I tried re-installing the game but no change. It’s a shame as it used to be a good game. Now it’s just me expanding across the universe mostly unopposed.

Not for phones

TTToaster on

United Kingdom

Seems like an interesting game, but the UI is just too fiddly for a phone. It’s not easy to order fleets, or see how your empire is doing. May be worth it on a tablet.

Classic Game

Ah, go on then on

United Kingdom

I’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!😳😂

Brilliant

Abnegat on

United Kingdom

A 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.

This Game Is A Must-Have

I 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...

Fantastically addictive!

Kasakaa on

United Kingdom

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!!

Play while online

Seano Kelly on

United Kingdom

I'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!
