Great game with NO DRM

There are a ton of reviews panning the game for its DRM, it has since been removed though so don't worry about it anymore and ignore the numerous 1-star reviews getting mad at the game for DRM. This game is basically Master of Orion II made simpler but also has its own feel, streamlining mechanics of previous games, and a TON of personality. I would not say it is better than the game it feels so much like, but it is just as good. You have a selection of all the original Master of Orion races, and unlike in that game everyone is actually balanced. The Psilon are no longer unstoppable and the Mrrshan are actually useful. The game looks gorgeous and the UI is much easily to get a handle on than MoO or MoOII. The game's biggest strength is its character and world, all the alien leaders have a ton of personality and perfectly represent the race's they rule. The world feels more alive than in previous game and the advisors are actually endearing and feel helpful (unlike in other 4X games), this is all helped with the game's EXCELLENT voice acting and all-star cast. The one true flaw of this game is oftentimes it feels more like Civilization than Master of Orion in how it plays, however even then I think it helps the game more than hinders it. If you are a newcomer to the Master of Orion franchise or If you enjoyed Master of Orion II, but wish it looked nicer, had less micromanagement, and had a gentler learning curve then I highly recommend this game. It doesn't break boundaries, but is is just an all-around excellent sci-fi 4X game that is the true Master of Orion III.

Good idea but unfinished

There is no mission pack / campain that would give a game story or anything that would make you want to play it so it will be boring after some time. Battle mode is medium/ok if small fleets are fighting but when fleets become bigger game is crashing no matter how strong or good pc you have. Keep in mind that ships in battle mode are moving in 2D so no elevation moves like f.e. homeworld and if you try take command of the ship, you are going to have terrible time to win even excellent chance to win rate match. Game works for two weeks then crash ... unable to play again / won`t play again. Big plus is race interaction and diplomacy in game. race characters are made properly and diplomacy is effective and match race descriptions. Players do have choices to make regarding tactics {research, builds or population} and have to learn how to use this for advantage. Game could have great potential but it seems to be unfinished, and technical difficulties are ruining even the few good things this game has.

What I have been looking for.

I have been after a good space 4x for sometime. I have tried several but found they got bogged down in micro management along with dull middle to end game-play. I like this new Master of Orion because it's more streamlined, easy to manage and has some very nice graphics and voice overs. You spend your time playing the game as apposed to slogging away child minding planets. Out of all the space 4x games I own this is the only one I can relax with and enjoy my time in it. I nearly missed it with all the poor reviews, good job I tried it for myself.

A Civilization 5 mod immitating MOO 2

I was playing some Civ 5 one day when I decided to purchase this new MOO game when there was a sale. But was immediately struck by how similar parts of the game are to Civ 5. The diplomacy screen is like a carbon copy of the Civ 5 screen with the two boxes to put in what you wish to barter for alongside the backdrop that has a fully animated character responding to your proposals. The game even feels like it rolls out at a similar pace to Civ 5. You no longer have to research greater travel distances so you can jet around the galaxy at will. This is like your scouts from Civ and similarly you spend much of your early turns just roaming around. The things you research and build are very similar to MOO 2. Every MOO game has some big annoyances (like food/freighter fleets of MOO 2). This one comes from money. It seems that you are always having trouble with your cash flow, so much that I would not even build all my structures on planets to counter the constant cost they have. The computer also has this problem. Forming trading and research deals is many times impossible because they are broke. The game is not bad but it can be difficult to recommend in the end when people have easy access to MOO 1 & 2. Both still play perfectly fine. This game also has something I don't like from Civ 5 and that is how much the game slows down as you play. Managing a large galaxy can become annoying and turns can take forever. After playing for a couple hours I do not expect to load it up again for my MOO fix.

Battle

If I am controlling the battle, and the admiral assistance is off, I expect a ship to go where I tell it to go, Not hang around and ignore my orders while getting pummeled with torpedoes
