Explore. Expand. Exterminate. Can you defeat your friends and become the ruler of the galaxy?

Starbase Orion is an old-school 4X space strategy game that draws inspiration from titles such as Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. Lead your empire from the birth of its space age; colonize new worlds, explore new horizons, and discover other players attempting to do the same. It is a race to the stars where only one empire can declare victory over the galaxy.

New to 4X Strategy Games? No Problem

Starbase Orion includes a hand tailored tutorial mission perfect for those new to the genre. It features high-quality voice acting provided by the very talented Maurice Thomas.

Absolutely 2000% replayability

I've got tons of game apps and I've never replayed any game as I have this one. Once you've mastered the basic logic of the in-game mechanisms, it is literally endless challenges against one alien race over another. Compared to all the other space games out there, I've not encountered one like this. Only wish that they would add another alien species into the game and maybe spice up some new and more complicated strategic management. I'm not complaining! Just wishing. :) And wishing for a sequel too? :) 5 stars mate!

Saved games wiped out halfway during gameplay

Hours of play completely truncated midstream after system glitches and reboots.

Love it

One of the best games in iOS. Still some issues to be fixed but it's definitely worth every penny i paid for this app and the dev team improves the game regularly. Any Master of Orion fan should get this. Its not as good yet compared to MOO 2, but it is the a good legitimate attempt in bringing back my most favorite game for the pc - a time when gameplay and replayability is more important than fancy graphics but overall a lame game you would only want to play for 2 days.
