Moo oh Moo how i never even played you!

Yes ladies and gentlemen. I say this out loud. I have literally never ever played one of the Master of Orion games in my youth. One could say i was on the Galciv side of life. One could mention i was young but... no matter the reasons, i.... just never did play this game. Q: What does this game offer? A: Strategy in space on a turn based game basis. : Tactical 2 dimension ship combat which can either be A : viewed ( which is actually quite nice ) B : played self ( which is still nice ) C : autoresolved Now i wouldn't go as far as calling this game an 4x, mainly because of its accesible nature and choice of presentation but i do call this a mighty fine game. Sounds can be annoying at times in a way such as unit acknowledgement in any rts game can be boring very quickly. Overall the theme and effects score pretty high as does game enjoyement and progression. With the choice of space lanes for travel and the easy with how you can defend your fledgeling empire its not difficult to understand how people are put off if being accustomed to the constant treat you can find yourself into in other titles such as Stellaris or Galactic Civilizations. Still the game on harder levels is nowhere to be taken lightly. In short ( i've gone over the max words used 2 times already ) If you are a peaceful explorer kind, diplomatic and all i say to you "plz look further" Nerds "be ashamed" everyone "hey game this is quite nice, i would kindly invite you to take a look"

Flat and monotonous

Hi, guys! Not sure if this game worth buying. The only game in it is pressing button "Next turn". U can set almost everything to "auto" (except sending ships and choosing tech) and this will change NOTHING in gameplay. Nothing really matters - whatever planets you colonize, whatever tech u research, whatever vantages planet has this all means NOTHING. Wins the one that built most fleet. And - guess what! - it matters not how u control your fleet. U just press button AUTO - no excitement at all. NOTHING can happen that will really change odds in game. U cannot find supacool superplanet, u cannot make groundbreaking invention, u cannot utilize super-design warship. Everything is the always same... Exapmple: Small planet 10 pops, huge planet 18 pops... I dont think that a game that consist only of pressing button "auto" and "next turn" worth buying it. No drive, no exitement! Everything is monotonous, dull, flat and degenerative.

A very fine game on its own

I really don't get the negative reviews. I played the GOG-Version of MoO for many hours - and it is a very fine game. Easy to get into, without the need to watch tutorials on youtube, and very addictive in the long run. The interface is very well designed, all informations can be found easily, the graphics and presentation are great. It is not an exact copy of the original MoO games, but it is clearly inspired by them. And the RTS-combat can be auto-resolved. So, why the hate? My guess: MoO2 fans wanted an exact replica of the old games... It is not, but its a very fine game on its own.

Fun game with some drawbacks

This is an enjoyable game that captures the spirit of the original two games, but also changing things up enough that it stands alone on its own merits. Given that it is not at a AAA price point, it is a definite buy for those that like the 4X genre. It has its flaws, hopefully things that will be addressed by the developer in time, but it does not prevent the game from being fun. The addition of star lanes makes ship movement on the galaxy map a strategic decision, and adds a lot to the game. While people do not generally play 4X games for the cinematic sequences and voice overs, they are very well done and make the game feel great to play. They help bring each of the races alive, both when you play as them and play against them. The UI works very smoothly, and managing even a very large empire does not feel like a chore as it does in some 4X games. The AI is competent; if you do not defend your territory well, the AI will take advantage of it. I have mixed feelings on the real-time combat. While I agree that late game it can be highly annoying to wait for a fleet of 50 ships to individually move and fire,, the real-time combat does not feel nearly as tactical. Ship positioning does not feel as important. It also causes multiplayer combat to be auto-resolve only, which takes a lot of the fun out of the multiplayer mode. The biggest negative I have had with the game is that it seems like a lot of the highly powerful game mechanics were removed. Race traits seem very tame compared with MOO2, almost like the developer was trying to keep things conservatively balanced. Powerhouse race traits are either gone (like Democracy, Telepathic, Unification) or poor shadows of their former selves (Tolerant, Subterranean, Lithovore). Leaders, and by extension the super powerful ones, are gone as well. Part of the fun of MOO2 was pitting one set of overpowered mechanics against another.

Nice game..

Ok, so based on my experience playing the game for about 10 hours I can definitely recommend it. I have never played the original before so I can not compare, but this is a very nice 4x game. The game has a nice pace, it is not too complex so that you would need a manual to even try it, but at the same time does have enough depth to keep you interested for quite some time. The visuals are very nice, with nice the battles, especially after you get the bigger classes of ships. As I said the complexity is not as big as with other types of games like this, but for me that is more of a plus. Overall worth the price, look forward to some DLCs with more content....
