Orb

About

Orb sets you in a galaxy where a shattered empire left two isolated civilizations to evolve separately. As the ruler of one, you'll manage resources, construct bases, and wage war across a turn-based grid. Focus shifts between economic growth and military strategy with each decision shaping your path. The interface prioritizes quick access to production trees and combat commands though the steep learning curve demands patience. The game earned a cult following for its layered strategy and branching outcomes. Player forums highlight the weight of early choices echoing into late-game conflicts. With no tutorials to soften the edges it pushes you to learn through trial and error. The 2014 release still draws regular replays from fans of deep tactical planning.
