Orion’s Belt is set in a space environment where the players have to expand their empire by conquering new planets, form alliances to battle for space domination, use massive weapons and fight each other in a chess like board using units with unique special abilities.
Orion’s Belt is very easy to play, as soon as you start to know some basic rules. You play as an emperor that start on a small Private Zone on the Universe. You have five Planets to Colonize before using a WormHole to Travel to the Hot Zone and interact with other players.
On your Planets you will be able to build Facilities and Combat Units. Later on you will be able to join those Combat Units on a Fleet and Travel on Universe, making friends and enemies as you play along.
When you engage war, you will have your battles played on a Game Board. That’s the most fun part of the game!
