Pretty low quality game. Would not recommend. Spelling mistakes, obvious missing UI buttons. Unbalanced gameplay. In 3rd and 4th rounds, you are just constantly clicking 30+ times to upgrade your units as you roll and buy upgrades over... and over...and over again. Missed opportunity here. Worth about 3 hours of gameplay before it goes stale.

Outcasts of Orion is an autobattler roguelike combining a solid game loop and varied strategic potential to offer an engaging experience with much replayability. You draft from a variety of randomly presented abilities and units to craft your squad and discover unexpected synergies. The game does struggle a bit early on in conveying the appeal of its mechanic, but given some time, it reveals an underlying layer of depth that keeps you coming back. If you are a fan of either autobattlers or strategy roguelikes, this game is worth giving a shot. ------------------------------------------------------ At its core, Outcasts of Orion plays as an autobattler with positioning as the central focus. Each unit has a defined pattern of attack and behavior that can be predicted and taken advantage of. Similar to chess, it is key to know your own unit's compatibility with others and to think a few turns ahead to emerge victorious. Early parts of the game start with a basic rock, paper, scissors type of dynamic, with additional unit classes making an appearance to add more variables for consideration. However, the game shines brightest in its factions. Factions are a set of units that share unique traits and abilities where each faction offers a different take on existing unit classes. For example, an assassin can stealthily execute an enemy, blind and stun an enemy, or turn an enemy into an ally to swarm the field. All are examples of how different faction can fulfill the same assassin role in differing ways. Beyond just careful positioning, there was much fun to be had in experimenting with different factions to discover unexpected synergies and exploits. Though the game leads strong with a tight core game loop, the game does come with some areas that could be improved. Mainly, the game could benefit from a stronger tutorial as it leaves some areas unexplained. Even though I managed to pick up many aspects through trial and error, I imagine a gentle nudge in the right direction could go a long way in easing new players into the strategic potential of the game. Still, there were frequent updates by the developers that quickly addressed pain points. This gives me confidence that the developers are dedicated to continuously make the game better. Overall, Outcasts of Orion is an engaging game with strategic depth and unexpected discoveries that has kept me coming back for more. I definitely recommend this game, and am looking forward to what more the developer has in store for the future.

Don't feel stronger after runs. unlocks don't feel worth it.

Outcast of Orion is a fun little game with new and cool mechanics. The game art isn't anything crazy, but the animations are sleek and it has a 80's grunge charm to it. The UI wasn't as clear as I'd like, but it is something that can be patched in later. For the price I dig the experience.

This game is honestly the first time I've played an auto battler, but I've been able to get into it pretty effortlessly and learn the game along the way. There's a lot of depth to the mechanics and synergy between them that reveals itself in a great pace. The game has a rogue-like progression in that a defeat means you start back at first fight, but the unlockable perks for each faction is persistent, making the next run more powerful. Amazing job, devs!

Fantastic game, if you like auto-battlers it really scratches the itch. The art is neat and the music really works with game. I'm not too far in but I'm loving it so far.

a casual strategy delight! nice clean design, simple & addictive gameplay. worth every penny.

Overall: Fun auto-battle rogue-like. Focuses on positioning based strategy and randomized rogue-like progression. Plays like Into the Breach if all strategies happened on the first turn. Pros: Strategic Variety + A variety of unit types offer a variety of characters to craft your squad + Run defining artifacts opens opportunities for powerful synergies + Equippable items and unit leveling allow for greater customization Replayable + the randomized encounters makes each run unique + Factions and Heroes drive different strategies to discover Quick Runs + Quick runs to immediately devise and test strategies + Good for picking up and getting directly into the game Cons: Learning Curve - Not initially intuitive, took a good run or two before the game clicked - tutorial could be improved Missing some quality of life features If you are new to the genre, it may come across as confusing at first but I urge you to stick to it, and the game will soon show what its about 100% worth the price of admission

[b] I've come back to add, this game has more layers and depth than I originally imagined it may be "feigning". On the flip side, the enemy formations are a little limited. There is deviation from the standard, but buy in large, there are a few standard formations you will find them in. That said, for the price point, what you are getting is more than fair from where I stand, and the developer seems to be active on the boards, and they seem to be keeping an eye on this game and keeping it in a good state.[/b] I picked it up on a whim hoping it would be similar to Gladiator Guild Manager, and it kind of is. (Yes, that game isn't out yet, but played the prologue) There are shops where you buy units and equipment and whatnot, and it is an auto battler. I'm not sure yet if this will actually be a deeper experience, or if it merely feigns it, but instead of just setting up your units kind of wherever on the field like in most auto battlers, there is a grid system, and the units and hud is almost set up more for a strategy games, and watching the battle play out feels a bit like watching somebody play a strategy game. So far, GGM is still king, but is cool until that comes out. On a side note, where as GGM doesn't really explain things to you, this game will bury you in info if you want it to, the codex isn't as big as it looks, but it's not small.
