Master of Orion

Master of Orion is a true classic in strategy gaming. It by itself spawned a new genre of games. Space exploration games (or 4X games as they are now called) were very popular for a time and many different titles were released some very good. Master of Orion itself to date has gotten two sequels. Master of Orion II (1994) was a very good game that brought many improvements (including multiplayer) but failed to keep the magic of the original. Master of Orion III (2003) was a poor attempt to revive the 4X game genre that has not seen many releases in recent years. Hopefully a fourth game will be made in the future. Its great grandparent certainly deserves it.

Alles in allem hat Master of Orion genug Stärken, um auch langfristig Spaß zu machen. Eine gelungene Mischung aus gehaltvollem Regelwerk und relativ leichter Bedienung plus manierlicher Grafik: ausgefeilte Space Opera mit saftigem Motivationspolster.

Master of Orion är absolut inget spel för den otålige arkadräven.

Master of Orion är det bästa valet i dag för den som är intresserad av rymdstrategi på Macen. Ett överaskande trevligt spel som visserligen ser lite gammalt ut men som helt klart ger den hängivne spelaren mycket att tänka på.
