A great but sorely underrated space strategy game, Iron Seed recalls the venerable classic Starflight series in its breadth and scope, but is more focused on the strategic and tactical element than them. The number of planets and options guarantee almost infinite replayability, and numerous ship designs and crew selection allow for different playing styles. A highly recommended game that is a precursor to SimTex' Master of Orion in spirit if not in name.Reviewed by: Underdogs
