DESCRIPTION

In Sins of a Solar Empire, gamers must conquer planets and defeat their enemies to become the most menacing force in space. Both single- and multiplayer action takes place in real-time, and gamers may choose to play alone or challenge friends to a "domination fest."

To survive the hostile world, players must align with one of three factions: The Advent, the Vasari Empire, or the Trade Emergency Coalition. Each group is vying for top spot and may use force, technological research, democracy, alliances, and devious trickery to obtain the position. For example, the game features a bounty hunting system where gamers may silently offer a reward for the destruction of a particularly annoying enemy unit.

Players who would rather stay honest may use the diplomacy system to compromise with their adversaries instead of gaining power through illicit actions. Aside from combat, gamers colonize planets and harness resources that can improve a variety of their faction's functions. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

“Two ways to describe this: Starcraft in space, and a galactic real-time Civilizations game. I always thought Civ4 maps werent huge enough, this has fixed that.”

“Looking for a fun space RTS game? Then check SSE out. Unlike other RTS titles this one can take a while to complete a single mission. It doesn't seem to be fast paced and even multi-player games can take a while depending on everyone's play style....”

“I really like SoSE. I haven't played the expansion, or since they patched it. I heard they fixed a lot of the things I griped about back when I first was playing it.”

“Great Graphics, and highly satisfying fights, but just to slow overall pace. It's also a double edged blade being at the scale its at, great for the epic battles, but adds to the slow overall pace.”
