Starbase Orion App Comments & Reviews
Starbase Orion Positive Reviews
Masters of Orion for iOS! A real gem.You’ll have hours of fun and the online community is active with people willing to help out new players. A very generous and friendly bunch. Feels like the classic Masters of Orion series..Version: 1.2.9
From DOS based Master of Orion to iPad Starbase of OrionYeah, this is a very simple game. That is just so repeatedly enjoyable. I play it often and over and over again usually a game a day since it came out 10 years ago, I guess maybe more I don’t even know but I do enjoy this. I have a number of suggestions based on my gameplay that would make it so much better without what I think is a lot of work if you’d like to reach out to me, I would love to talk to you..Version: 1.3.2
Marvelous gameMy favorite game on iPad. Note that the 2025 late summer update has a few minor bugs with some UI sounds going muted off, and game crashes for me in combat replay when monster/ship is about to be destroyed (bad explosion sound ref issue maybe?), but it is still very playable, unless you want to see the combats unfold. Make sure to save on the beginning of a new turn before combat playback just in case. Hope this will get fixed quickly because this game and new players really deserve it. Many thanks to the creators of this game..Version: 1.3.2
Excellent GameAlways play the humans.Version: 1.3.1
Years of entertainmentI have been playing this game on and off for almost nine years. It is clean, robust and reliable. If is the 4x game you wanted..Version: 1.3.1
Replayability at 1000%Somehow, this game is able to get you hooked on for a long time, even with mediocre graphs and horrible music/sounds. Not even a full port from the pc game, but still a must have gem. Very addictive !.Version: 1.3.1
Meilleur jeu sur App StoreSuper jeu inspiré de MOO « master of Orion ». Peux modifier les équipements de vaisseaux. Peux spécifier stratégie de combat pour chaque vaisseau ou pour tous. Toutes les planètes peuvent être géré individuellement ou on peux utilisé des gestion automatique pré-conçus ou même modifier ces gestions automatiques. Beaucoup mais beaucoup de recherche a faire. Les galaxies peuvent être créé au goût. Oufff!!!! C’est vraiment complet comme jeux. Manque les Antarens (attaques extra-terrestre aléatoire qui augmente la difficulté) et une fin plus épique..Version: 1.3.1
Unlimited scenariosEach game is different with endless fun and alternate strategies. Wish there were more games like it.Version: 1.2.9
Great gameGreat game, still enjoy playing it once in a while, but stopped working with 14.2 update :(.Version: 1.2.9
Why does it not work anymoreI loved the game but all of a sudden it no longer works. I thought and update might be required, but it only allows me to open the app. When I open it, I am returned to the iPhone Home Screen..Version: 1.2.9
Great 4X gameI’ve been playing it for several years on an iPad and it still holds up. Such a great flashback to a classic game and genre..Version: 1.2.9
Great gameGot this years ago and still love playing it every once and a while. Please don’t stop updating it!.Version: 1.2.9
It's the best game for mobileThis is the best game for mobile, period. Such a good 4x game, have been playing continuously for 2+ years and not bored. Multiplayer is awesome and many types of games configs/galaxies keeps it fresh. Fans of Civilization or Master of Orion should not miss this one..Version: 1.2.9
Great game!I've had this game for 5 years and multiple iPhones/iPads, and it's still a classic..Version: 1.2.9
Worth every pennyA great 4x game. The best thing about this game is the person or group that made it. This game has been out for years and years and amazingly they are still actively updating the game. I have never seen a game like this in the App Store. Everyone else is out for there money the quick and easy way. This game keeps going and keeps you coming back. They have never resorted to pay to win. They love this game as much as their fan base does. Keep up the good work. I would give you 10/5 stars if I could..Version: 1.2.9
Starbase OrionThis is a very enjoyable turn based "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate" game with a vibrant player community that supports a wide variety of players from casual gamers to competitive league players. The basic goal of the game is to eliminate all opponents in the galaxy. You should first explore the galaxy to find the best planets to occupy, then colonize them and build them up into industrial, research or farming colonies, while researching advanced technologies to make your empire more efficient and your fleet more powerful. What I like: * you can adjust your species' attributes to take advantage of features of the game map or to suit your personal playing style. * you can use "spies" to attack more powerful enemies without launching a ship against them, or to steal technologies from those who have better tech than you. * there's a good mix of technologies that provide benefits for production, research, farming, combat, exploration, and spying. * you can outfit your spaceships in any manner you choose (within the limits of your technology). * its turn-based play system allows me time think and to play when I have time to play. * no in-game purchases! * no advertisements! What could be better: * the automatic player matching system pairs me up with idle players who never seem to take a turn. I end up playing a multi-player game all by myself! The solution is to announce that you want to play a game on the "Space Bar" chat room where there is usually a live person available to respond to your request. * once I obtained enough experience with the game, I found the AI much too easy to defeat. Even against seven AI set at the "impossible" level, it is not much of a challenge to defeat them. The solution, of course, is to play with real people from the Space Bar who are always ready to give you a good game..Version: 1.2.9
Get it now if u love strategy games!It is by far the best turn based multiplayer strategy game available on iOS... The developer is an active player, and making it better all the time! The league of players is active with a really supportive community of excellent competitors!.Version: 1.2.7
Good gamePretty awesome but crashes almost every time I open it..Version: 1.0.3
Very goodNot easy at first, but it get better and better and ritcher over time..Version: 1.2.7
Great 4X GameThey keep on giving, best 4X game I have found for iOS.Version: 1.2.7
Best civ type game on iOSThis game is top notch, better than any competitor. A big thanks to the creator of this game, I've been searching for something more in depth that the iOS version of civilization. This is it!!! 8.99 is totally worth it. Highly recommend. Can't express my appreciation for this game enough. Playing on a 6s on 9.2. No crashes, no glitches so far. It's ridiculous that fools play this on an outdated device or iOS update. Don't blame a game for your crappy machine. Normal is harder now, most of these old complaints have been fixed. Cry in your pillows, no one wants to hear your bs.Version: 1.2.7
Great gameBest app ever. I play a lot with the online community. This is easily my most played app.Version: 1.2.7
Best 4X on the App StoreAnd great support for years. Looking forward to Starbase Orion 2..Version: 1.2.6
Well done with crash issuesOnce you get into the game it's quite deep and enjoyable. That being said my first non tutorial game got to a point where hitting turn hit a consistent crash I can't get past and that kind of ruins it. Hoping it will be fixed.Version: 1.2.6
Best 4X on iOS bar noneYou won't find a better strategy game out there..Version: 1.2.5
Super funThis game is addicting if you buy at and you like RTSs you wii love.Version: 1.2.5
Galactic conquest at its bestIf you are a fan of 4X games, you owe yourself this little gem !.Version: 1.2.3

Great and Continues to beKeeps the legend of MOO2 alive. Continued updates keep the game fresh. Developers are awesome!.Version: 1.2.3
Finally - 4X Built From The Ground Up For iOSSimply awesome. If you love 4X games then why are you wasting time reading reviews and not your empire status reports?.Version: 1.2.3
Great gameWas looking for something similar to civilization. This is perfect. Best strategy game on the app store..Version: 1.2.2
Great game!Top civ game to play! Please make it second screen compatible so it can be played on TV.Version: 1.2.2
Epic 4x gameThis gem has almost everything a 4x space empire game should. Highly strategic and very replayable, it's exactly what I was looking for..Version: 1.2.2
Best iOS gameWill be a classic for the iOS. Involving and rewarding gameplay, easy to navigate interface and intuitive touch controls. Tons of replay lies within this game. Enjoy.Version: 1.2.2
Best 4x game in the storeIf you're looking for a 4x game in the classic Masters of Orion style,look no further.This game is excellent and is always getting updates..Version: 1.2.2
Great gameIf you are fan of 4x space game, this is a must..Version: 1.2.2
Great game, worth a try if you like CivI lost track of time playing this game, and I'm only in the tutorial. Played 2.5 hours straight, very in depth, easy to learn, but lots to tweak and configure. Seems it have tons of re-playable aspects, and I haven't even loaded an "actual" game yet. I've been looking for a space based Civ game, and this certainly is it. Worth the 8$ that's for sure..Version: 1.2.1
Even better then Master of Orion 2Player feedback keeps making this game better and better - also not a battery hog like many other games!.Version: 1.2.1
Master of Orion2, but better!I've been of fan of the Master of Orion and Galactic civilization serires. This one is a excellant port, maybe better then the original, perhaps not on par with galactic civilization 2 with all mods, but it's really great! Worth every penny!!!.Version: 1.2.1
Goes far beyond a remakeSome call this a remake of Master of Orion, and this may have been the case years ago. But the creator has ran with the concept with very well thought out updates that don't serve to over complicate the game, but to offer a grander experience. This game does not go on sale (only during it's release was it discounted), but it's worth every penny to anyone looking for a deep, fulfilling 4X strategy game that rivals the masters of the genre on the PC, and surpassing those currently available on consoles..Version: 1.2.1
Well supportedI am amazed at the evolution of this game. The updates are all so good, full of improvements and fan requested tweaks. I love what has been done to improve the AI the most. I have spent dozens of hours playing, and recommend it to all my friends..Version: 1.2.1
Great game, great devNot only is this a faithful recreation of the classic MoO series for iOS, the dev is very responsive to comments and suggestions. The improvements and expansions to play have been extensive since release. Probably the best money I’ve spent on an AppStore game..Version: 1.2.1
Great game, developers work hard to create an awesome product!This game is just so awesome. Big fan of Master of Orion series and this game is right up there. It has its issues but this latest version introduced new technologies that should resolve and if not, give the tools to the developers to do so. The biggest issue is that, when your are far into a big game (single or multiple players), it will just fail on you and you will not be able to complete it..Version: 1.2.1
Best supported 4x game you can buyAmazing level of dedication by the developer. Everyone who likes 4x games, and all of us should ... your money is best spent on this one. I can't think of any other game on the mobile platform or anywhere else that has this kind of service level. Boggles my mind. Good job, guys..Version: 1.2.1
Good, but...I'm having some trouble with AI. They seem to just build ships to the point that their GC goes far below 0, I always seem outnumbered even though I have more GC and production. I can't even win on easy. Fix this please..Version: 1.2.0
AwesomeGreat game, loved MOO2 and love this game, would like more default races but that's all I can fault it for, nuff said..Version: 1.2.0
