Different winning conditions have been added with Rebellion and, well, it wouldn’t be fun without all the pewpew: this last expansion brings us the almighty Titan, a dreadnought of terrible power that makes a scary sound every time an enemy build one (I get anxious every time I hear it, it’s awful). It’s not only “I laser you till ashes” as it used to be. Now, there are more colonizable planets, minor factions, more anomalies, and more in-game mechanics that open up options for domination. It has a 55-popularity score at and also packs some interesting challenges to unlock at Steam.Īs years have gone by, expansions and DLC’s have been released to provide a better gaming experience and save you some money. The game was released in February 2008 but still has a lot to offer to players: aside from a still attractive visual setup, the community is fairly active (especially on Discord official server), mods are still being developed, and the company releases patches every now and then (being August 22, 2021, the latest patch). Obviously, there’s no war without other aspects of life so you can find a really simple economic system, lots of technologies (some unique for each faction), diplomacy that has some interesting options, and pirates.

SoaSE (Sins of a Solar Empire) is a 4X RTS that takes place in space, where your duty is nothing else than crush your enemies by either smoking your enemies or any of the other winning conditions available. If strategy is your thing, I’m pretty sure this game will have you pinned down to the chair for hours. There’s no bad with Sins, just an experience you can have and manage to your liking in several ways. Despite the fact that has turned 13 years old, there’s a lot of fun and excitement in it to explore and enjoy, just keep reading and you might deem it worthy of your time. In my case, sins of a Solar Empire has been a fantastic way of getting lost in large space battles and sharing moments with my friends and fellow players on the servers.Īfter checking reviews from the gamer community and myself spending hours on it, the game is pretty solid these days. Every game out there is a possible lifetime experience for any of us seeking what imagination brings when reading or just thinking about any real or fiction reality at our reach.
