Master of Orion 2 - HD... Except-

-A portion of the races were turned into DLC The game costs significantly more Some unique aspects of the DOS game were 'ravamped' to be more like Civ5 A lot of the tactical depth was stripped away for ease of access (something DOS solved with 'strategy mode') there's online-multiplayer DRM, no LAN support, and no Hotseat - so if you want to play with friends you'll need wifi and multiple copies I generally just can't recommend the game when MoO2 exists. It's a much prettier version I'll give it that, but great polish on a solid skeleton doesn't change that a lot of the meat we loved to sink our teeth into is gone.

Do not buy in the current state

The game is not well tested and regularly freezes during battles. In my experience there is 75% chance the game will freeze if a large number of ships enter combat. Usually before the fight starts, sometimes in the middle of a fight. That makes it very difficult to achieve any military progress, especially at later stages of the game. Coupled with a rather unresponsive UI, it's definitely not fun. The combat balance is poor. Whereas in the original game small ships cold not penetrate immense shields and structure of a Doom Star (logically), the current incarnation suffers from what too many 4X games these days can't handle well - a large screen of small cheap ships is usually capable of destroying planet-sized heavily armed ships with fully upgraded shields and hull. In a standard (MoO) universe, it doesn't matter how many frigates you have - you simply can't even scratch a monstrosity the size of an entire planet! There's a number of other bugs, like weapons not firing or ships becoming uncontrollable and so on. The game is extremely poorly optimised and at later stages of a large scale gameplay (huge galaxy, several opponents) each turn takes around 30 second (or even more). At the same time CPU runs at 10-20% capacity. It's the old Civ5 problem of developers unable to design their game properly and thus the wait game begins. If you want to play MoO, bring a book. Overall the gameplay itself is not that bad and is rather close to the original MoO(2) in many aspects, however, some important parts of the game were changed dramatically and for the worse (removal of leaders, badly designed combat, Doom Star limit to 1 per race). The game will need extra work (especialy on bugs and optimisation) before I could recommend buying it. With all technical issues fixed, it could get a 4/5.

Newcomer's Perspective

I haven't played the original Master of Orion games, so I couldn't say how this compares to the original games, but I can say that after a few tries to get into the genre, this is the game that finally got me into the 4X strategy genre. The presentation is slick and polished, with vibrant personality bubbling to the surface in a hundred small ways. The menus, while complex, are rarely cluttered and are easy to navigate. I get the feeling that to a seasoned strategy player this game might seem overly simplistic and unremarkable, but I have found it to be an admirable compromise between complexity and user-friendliness. As I'm writing this, my game is about to finish its latest update, and I can't wait to jump back in.

EULA's like this need stopped

No way, no how. Time honored name but terrible implementation of game. Can't direct connect OR LAN? No way I play, for fee or free. Despicable

MOO2 fan thinks this one is better.

Yeah, I loved MOO2 back in the days, but I think this one is streamlined and modernized so much that I prefer it over MOO2. Good graphics, nice race design, voiceacting, animations, compact nature of the game, antarians attacks, shorter play time... there is a lot of things this game got right. It's simpler and much less diverse than its predecessor, true, but if you want heavier experience, pick Gal Civ 3 or Stellaris. This has a different target and it, for the most part, hits it. It's also not very replayable since rockets are so good early - mid game that you want them every game. Plus, standard AI doesn't know how to counter that. But when you add some mods, you're back on track. Overall, I rate it a solid 7/10. Not perfect, not grandiose, but nice, compact and overall enjoyable experience.
