About Astro Lords: Oort Cloud
Astro Lords: Oort Cloud is a free-to-play, science-fiction MMORTS. The game seamlessly combines construction management with click-and-drag Artillery style combat and strategy elements such as exploration, raiding and espionage. The game takes full advantage of stunning Unity 3D graphics to provide a visually rich experience.
You will take on the role of an Astro Lord, leader of your own asteroids in the Oort Cloud on the fringes of the solar system. As well as vying against other players for dominance in PVP combat, you must also face off against a mysterious alien race which has invaded the Cloud.
Build!
Asteroids are at the heart of your Empire. You begin the game with a home asteroid which you must develop through the construction of facilities such as mines, power plants, factories and laboratories. Resources must be gathered, or stolen, to construct ammunition and cyborgs to fuel your expansion. Secondary asteroids can be added through colonising empty ones, or capturing developed asteroids from your enemies.
Astro Lords: Oort Cloud is the first MMORTS to feature moving bases on a spherical map, putting you in the driving seat. Will you manoeuvre your asteroid in pursuit of your enemies, flee from hostile foes, or explore vast nebulae and alien ruins?
Shoot!
Leading the charge against your enemies are the Captains. You can recruit up to 6 Captains from 7 different classes. Will you recruit a Warrior and focus your efforts on combat? A Scientist, to boost your research output? A Spy, to keep tabs on other Astro Lords and alien bases? With over 50 different skills to develop, you can tailor your Captains to suit your gameplay style. Each Captain can be fully controlled in battle against other players and AI alien enemies, and will fight to defend your base while you're offline too.
Captains and starbases can be improved through skills, runes, artifacts and officers, giving you complete control over your combat style and abilities. The click-and-drag Artillery style combat in Astro Lords: Oort Cloud provides fast-paced real-time combat – think Worms, but without having to wait your turn! Players can choose between a number of different battle modes including Team Deathmatches, Duels, Boss Fights and Alien Challenges.
Raid!
To maintain your power in the Oort Cloud, you'll need to have strong friends and rich enemies. Forge alliances with other players and help defend each other’s asteroids, and send your spies to infiltrate and sabotage enemy bases. Lead daring raids against other players to steal their resources for yourself. Deploy Explorer cyborgs into the Cloud to discover ancient technology and mysterious artifacts. In the Oort Cloud, it's up to you whether you want to be the hero or the villain...
About the Game
Astro Lords: Oort Cloud was inspired by classic games such as Master of Orion, as well as modern MMOs like OGame and Dark Orbit. As an MMO in constant development, Astro Lords: Oort Cloud receives free regular updates containing new game features and improvements.

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This garbage looks like it was a mobile app from Russia (did they even get smartphones?) with nasty P2W/P2Play microtransactions (that they gleefully violated Valve rules about warning gamers about). It looked like a real space RTS, but if you wanted Homeworld, this is Nopeworld. So, "Astro Lords: Oort Cloud" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. Let's go into some of the reasons this particular game failed to appeal to gamers, despite the zero up front cost. First and foremost, ther…2 found this helpful

Игра 'Astro Lords: Oort Cloud' - это интересный гибрид стратегии и RPG в космическом сеттинге. С одной стороны, ты строишь и развиваешь свою цитадель на астероиде, добываешь ресурсы и исследуешь технологии. С другой стороны, отправляешь своих Лордов (уникальных героев) на задания, прокачиваешь их и сражаешься с другими игроками. Привлекает внимание оригинальная система боя, где исход сражения зависит не только от мощи флота, но и от правильной тактики и умения использовать способности Лордов. Новичкам поначалу может быть сложно разобраться с интерфейсом и множеством параметров, но обучение достаточно доступное и втянуться в процесс не составит труда. Из минусов можно отметить некоторую гринд-зависимость в плане добычи ресурсов, особенно на поздних этапах игры, а также донат, который, хоть и не является обязательным, дает определенное преимущество. В целом, игра затягивает своей комплексностью, возможностью стратегического планирования и ощущением развития своей космической империи. Рекомендую попробовать всем любителям космических стратегий с элементами RPG.
