“For those of you who want, nay demand, the highest quality visual experience in your first-person shooters, ORION: Prelude has answered the call. I’ve watched ORION’s game trailer about eight times now because it’s just that good. The media has been giving ORION lots of love, describing it as “HALO meets Jurassic Park,” and if you check out that trailer, you’ll see why. This is one Multiplayer Beta you will NOT want to miss.”
-KickStarter
“In my time, a lot of Kickstarter initiatives have come and gone. There is, after all, only so much disposable income willing to be given out for the day’s good cause. I can’t predict what will happen to ORION: Prelude, but I can say that Spiral Game Studios certainly put the effort in.”
- Destructoid
“There are a few things in the world that just scream “awesome.” Look no further than dinosaurs, space marines, and jetpacks. Now imagine a game that was packed to the brim with the aforementioned items… you need to play this game, don’t you?
Allow me to introduce to you ORION: Prelude, the coolest game ever [potentially] made! Now I say potentially, but I am rather inclined to say that this title is guaranteed to see completion.”
- CultureGET
“Orion: Prelude is absolutely boiling over with features that would enthuse action game lovers. They are also promising free DLC after release.
“Do you know who thought of charging $15 for 4 maps?” they ask. “I would like to kick them in the nuts.”
They really said that.”
