This game really is quite incredible. It's one of the most well balanced, well crafted strategy games out there, and definitely the best space strategy game next to the Homeworld series. The biggest problem I have with the game, and one that I was sorely disappointed with when I first bought the game, is the complete lack of a single player campaign. You can only play multiplayer or single player with bots; there is no story. The universe they have created is very compelling and I would love to see an expansion or maybe a second game feature a full fledged story mode.
Debut games are always a bit of a gamble, so when Vancouver’s Ironclad Games set about developing Sins of a Solar Empire, it was never going to be an easy task. The RTS Genre is full of blockbuster titles, and even more that have gone the way of the dodo, so tackling one is no small task. Thankfully, they’ve come up with something pretty special.
