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 batt
★★★★★Such a great game!
Classic 4X galactic conquest game. The closest you can get to the old Master of Orion PC game on a mobile device. Best part of all: it isn’t some pay-to-play, micro transaction nightmare the way every other app out there is. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the developers. We need more games like this.
★★☆☆☆Love the Game but Constantly Crashes
I love the game but it's very unstable. On my previous iPad it would crash maybe every ten minutes or so, which I could deal with. On my new M2 Air, once you get towards the end game, it crashes every other time I hit Next Turn. It becomes unplayable.
I really hope that the developers do something to fix this problem. It's sad that I can't play a game that I love.
★★★★★Old school fun
This really is a fun game if you are into old school, turn based, space simulation like Master of Orion. It has depth but is still accessible. Played for many hours. No adds. No upcharges. Good replay value. Well worth the game cost.
★★★★★Excellent
I remember playing this game a long time ago, I’m very glad it still works! Classic scifi 4x on mobile, can’t beat that!
