Some 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 dont serve to over complicate the game, but to offer a grander experience. This game does not go on sale (only during its release was it discounted), but its 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.
