For this price, insane game. I could have spent another 100 hours on this easily but you need teammates to deal with the harder levels, and gets repetitive by yourself.

This utter complete piece of crap is so awful, so horrid, so unforgivably terrible, that it somehow manages to come full circle and be quite fun. Serious jank? Check! Dinosaurs? Check! ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Dev? Check! Massive weapon roster? Check! Utterly Dead? Check! Good AI? ..... HELL NO, lets be honest, you picked it up for about $0.80, what did you expect dumbass? Its so awful!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!! Even on launch when it was Orion: Dino Beatdown, it was complete and utter glitchy garbage. As Orion: Dino Horde, it got better, still utter jank city, but far better, the devs even acknowledge how crap the original was (see the trailer). Finally, Orion: Prelude, the ♥♥♥♥ show of a game we have today. The third and final rebrand, still a mess, and we love it. Many might only remember this game as that one ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dino game that Achievment Hunter and Totalbiscuit played once back in the day, never to be seen again, but to the true vets of this game, who stuck though the massive glitches, jank, dead servers and horrendous grind. All I can say to you all is....... we are some truly mentally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ individuals to have stuck with this garbage for so long. Here's to all you magnificent bastards who still play this, and here's to many more years of Orion: Prelude to come. 12.7/10 would Stockholm my closest friends into playing.

I mean... xD This game looks like a Homeless person. And sleeps in a dumbster. Plays like a hooker on crack. And if you close your eyes you can imagine anything. So much things wrong, but so much things right. I mean I can't complain this game is technically free... But I had some fun with my mates on this. Just funny and fun.

Ah, Orion Prelude. One of the many online horde shooters I've experienced. The game was fun at it's peak during 2014. Unfortunately with the community leaving it to perish, this hidden gem is sit here to collect dust. I remember the days that this game would constantly have free weekends when the price was still $3, getting people to buy it and give it a try. Now, with this tag of 1 dollar to play it, I would still recommend people to get it because it's the bare-bones framework of a horde shooter. There are fun memories stored in this game for me, unfortunately time has taking this gem as a victim.
