What players say
Straight forward 4x space game. I do like the intuitive interface, tells player when certain buildings are not needed upon technology upgrades (creating space on your "older" planets for newer tech buildings), the right side per-turn icons that'll keep all your builds and moves up to date so you're not wracking your few brain cells on trying to remember what you've done. Only ping I'd have to say I have with this...

Love it. Masters of Orion-like game with lots of things to explore. Fun, entertaining, challenging, and can be easy to very hard. Definitely a well designed space-style 4X game.
Classic Masters of Orion style turn based strategy game, with a nice blend of graphics, sounds, atmosphere and strategy.
