Once you do start a colony you’ll have some decisions to make. You start with a colony ship, a frigate and a couple of scouts and the early game is spent scouting out new candidates for colonisation, based on one or many of the following factors – the suitability for life, the propensity for scientific research and the abundance of minerals which are needed to develop your empire. MOO begins with you selecting a race do dominate the galaxy with, each having benefits and downsides and an entertaining backstory.įrom there you are transported to a randomly generated chunk of space, with only your home planet colonised and a couple of other likely looking candidates. It also comes with some gorgeous digital art books that give you a feel for the love that has gone into creating the games vibrant universe. I reviewed the collector’s edition which comes with quite a few notable extras, most important of which is an extra (11th) race – the Terran Khanate which are a bunch of evil renegade humans, and the other perk being full copies of the original MOO 1, 2 and 3 for your retro nostalgia hit. There are two editions of Master of Orion, one being the standard edition and the other the Collector’s edition. The original is over 20 years old and considered one of the greatest games of all time so it’s easy to see why it’s been chosen to be resurrected, and given a spruce up for today’s hardware. Master of Orion (or MOO) is a 4x turn based strategy game brought to us by NGD Studios and published by Wargaming.
