Sword of the Stars....it definately is not MOO3, Space Empire 4 or 5. If you like a game that is not too complicated.
This game has an element of fun, but it seems that it is simply built around the premise of combat. Even the combat scenes are overly simplified, It would have been a lot better if you could choose the weapon you want to... Read Full Review

Unexploited potential
When I first started to play the game I must admit I felt that it had a lot of potential. I enjoyed the difference between the races and thought the straightforward game-play mechanics to be refreshing. Sadly the more I ... Read Full Review

Funny and Easy!
This title is far different from every Turn Based Strategy game I ever played. The game hasn't any type of micromanaging and this is the fun part for those who don't want to spent their time on planet optimizing... The ... Read Full Review

Pretty interesting game, some fun space battles. The only thing that bugs me is later, the turns can take too long.
Typical TBS which is similar to the Master of Orion series which is similar to the Galactic Civilization series....well you get the picture. SoTS does a few things different by removing alot of micromanagement which wil... Read Full Review

Simple design. Great execution. Just don't buy it if you like Space Empires.
First off, if you are a fanatic for the huge swathes of information and page upon page of spreadsheets that you get from Space Empires and similar games, don't buy this. Its really not your thing. Also, if you like micro... Read Full Review

This game seems incomplete, with the potential to be a great game. If it had some deeper goals...
Sword of the stars is an interesting game. It is fun to an extent, but has some serious flaws. This leads to quickly getting boring. For starters, the combat is 3D, but with ships that act like 2D. They never roll ov... Read Full Review

A great 4x strategy game, good for short games, or long challanges. Fantastic implementation of game ideas.
In case you didn't know 4X stands for the goals of : eXplore eXpand eXploit eXterminate The genre pretty much defines the games premise. There is a lot to be said about this game, but I'll just write quickly the n... Read Full Review

Overall a nice game, but sadly gets boring very soon!
The Problem is that every game plays more or less the same, no matter what race or settings you choose, the tech tree is just boring and who cares about the little varity? All ships for all races are the same, always! Ju... Read Full Review

Confusing! Spider web of star lanes, no diplomacy, you don't even know who you're fighting or why.
This game is awful. The star map is terrible to navigate. The 3D idea has been shown again and again to just make things confusing. Until we have 3D computer monitors, let's stick with 2D, okay? Also, you have no ide... Read Full Review
