Would you like to travel through outer space carrying out all sorts of missions to survive? Then you should know that FreeOrion will quickly become one of your favorite games that will let you live an experience of this type. We are in the presence of a turn-based strategy title that has become an icon of the games of the 90s and similar, which you should surely give a chance to if you are looking for this type of entertainment.

The first thing you need to know is that FreeOrion is based on the game Master of Orion, possibly one of the best-known games that have always existed when we talk about the space genre in a somewhat retro context. The advantage is that this title is free, and we can install it on our computer in seconds without producing a large consumption of computer resources.

The objective of FreeOrion is to eliminate all the spaceships and colonies that have formed in outer space and threaten the possibility that you are still alive. Of course, this may sound easy at first, but you can be sure that you will not succeed unless you have managed to build your empire, which will generate several difficulties.

As you overcome your rivals, you'll see that you have the possibility of conquering other planetary systems in the universe, as well as discovering all sorts of technological objects that you'll be able to use to your benefit. It is precisely in the possibility of interacting with the game's total environment that we find one of this title's great qualities, especially for adventurers.

When you start your games in FreeOrion, you'll see that you'll be able to choose whether you prefer to play while connected to a local network or the Internet, while you also can play alone. In the latter case, you have to remember that the game's artificial intelligence is somewhat limited, so you will see that the entertainment is not as noticeable as when we challenge our friends.

As you can see, this is a title that we can enjoy both in Single Player and Multiplayer mode, so if you have friends connected to the same galaxy, you can face them whenever you want. Unlike what happens with other titles, in this one, our recommendation is to play with your friends, as you can notice the difference in its ability to entertain in both cases.

Undoubtedly, the maps and worlds where the action takes place in FreeOrion are one of the keys to this game thinking about differentiating itself from others. We must say that we will almost always discover new galaxies as we move. In general, these new galaxies are generated as we reach the end of the previous ones, and although we can't prevent them from forming, we can customize them.

FreeOrion will allow you to set many of the main characteristics that make these new galaxies, among which it is possible to mention some, such as their physiognomy, number of stars, age, or the density of planets. In this way, you will be able to establish many elements that make the entertainment and action constant, or rather, that going through that galaxy is like going for a walk.

While you enjoy your passage through each of the galaxies, you'll also see that different natural resources appear before you, which of course, you'll have to consider if you want to solve many of the problems that lie ahead. At the same time, you have to believe that only with them will you be able to feed your colonies and erect buildings or use spaceships. For these reasons, we can say that FreeOrion also has elements of resource management that you shouldn't neglect.

Regarding FreeOrion's interface, we must say that they are well achieved, as all the main menus are straightforward to interpret as we advance or as we want to modify or customize our experience. Then, the game is available in English and not in other languages. However, this is not a severe impediment, especially considering that we can easily interpret each function and option.

However, we must point out that at least in our tests, all the galaxies randomly generated by the system and that we have decided not to modify on our own have been more unpopulated than we would like. That is why we recommend you always take the time to increase the density of planets and elements you will find in them so that the fun is more fabulous when starting the game.

In summary, if you are looking for a space game in the 90's style, you must travel through galaxies to survive. At the same time, if you use all the elements you find in the universe, FreeOrion will undoubtedly be one of your favorite proposals.
