Game in between classics as was Dungeon Master and modern RPGs. You would manage group of up to six characters and these characters are really different. Character development is combination of distributing points when leveling and improving skills by doing. Specialization pays off, as you will encounter different enemies you will need highly specialized characters. 3D dungeons are somewhat in between TES Arena and Daggerfall.
Almost nobody likes this game, but I have found people who like it, and those who like it, like it much. The game is quite complex, based on thorough economic and social model of galaxy. Authors claimed, that gamers should not waste their time mingling with micromanagement, but AI is far from perfect and then I reccommend to look after all details. If it doesn't sound attractive to you, forget the game, it isn't for you then. But if you scanned all your planets in MoO 1 and 2, you could like the game. I am not hard gamer, but I am playing this game for more than a year and I control approximatelly half of available planets now. Even when I am definitelly the strongest civilization in Galaxy, other civilizations keep the pace with me and I have hard times till now.
