What players say

Players describe Battle for Orion 2 as a simple, fast-paced RTS with a short campaign that is enjoyable on sale but not worth full price. Many note the missing UI scaling in 4K and a late game where only capital ships matter, and players are split on whether it is a relaxing time or too boring to keep playing.
