I don't think there is any strategy game fan who does not know or has played at least one of Master of Orion games. While this game captures all good stuff from original 2 games, just as all strategy game, can easily become very repetitive and burn you with some dull tasks if you are trying to get all achivements. (like delete 600 blueprints)
On positive side, some boring tasks are automated and well integrated with rest of the game.
If you like strategy game - this game is for you, if not, you can give it a try - it is not bad game.
