    This game is awesome! Highly customizable, great soundtrack, and so much replay value . I love it and hope support for it doesn’t end.

    Pick 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.
  • Simple but fun

    Great tablet game that feels like Masters of Orion or Stellaris. Simple. Maybe too simple, but easily replayable many times
  • 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)
  • Spying currently broken

    Like 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
  • Don’t do it.

    This game spits on the memory of Master of Orion by claiming to be it. They’ve managed to make an uncanny valley recreation of MoO that comes close enough to remind you of the original while falling substantially short of it. The gameplay isn’t as good, the graphics aren’t as good, the AI is dumber in all respects (dumber than a game made in the mid-90’s mind you). Just go get the actual MoO II (or 1 if you prefer) on Steam.
  • Galaxy screen not sorting

    Returned 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.
  • Love this game until last update

    Latest update makes the build queue render incorrectly, with overlapping text pushed half way off the right of the display area. Queue management is not completely functional now, making the game too frustrating to play. Would be great if this would be fixed…
  • Problems since last update

    Since the latest update I cannot move my spies once placed on a player they can’t be moved, also the build screen while on planet doesn’t show properly it runs off the right side of the screen, please fix my game, it’s one game I’ve played for over 3 years. I’ll go back to a 5 star if fixed!

    It has a glitch. You assign a planet to build ships. It is all misaligned. You can’t make changes. The game in not playable like this.
