What Gamespot Users have to say about Sword of the Stars
- Rating:9
It is a great addition to the 4x strategy game Sword of the Stars.
First of all, you need the original game and both expansions (Born of blood and A murder of Crows) to play this. The game does not add anything revolutionary but it does add some really interesting technologies such as ... Read Full Review

It has a weak early game and some strong competition in space strategy, but some unique features make it worth playing.
Sword of the stars is a turn-based strategy game - a 4X game with RTS elements, to use the gamer jargon. In the complete edition (which is what I'll review here) you choose one of six races to play as you set out to con... Read Full Review

Another Adventure into Space
When sword of the stars first came out it provided gamers with a unique and innovative glimpse into the world of Space based TBS. Something that many game companies were reluctant to do. Two expansions and two added r... Read Full Review

A very disappointing single player experience.
This turn-based game is as shallow as it can be : no economic model, an ultra-basic diplomacy, no colony development whatsoever, and real time combats you'll have to pause every second. It was probably developed with mu... Read Full Review

If you enjoyed SoTS and BoB then give this expansion a try. New interface, new race, new ships all that fun stuff.
When i started playing this game i originally though that there was little difference from the previous games, i was wrong. With some 27 new technologies, a new race (which is pretty interesting) and new weapons and shi... Read Full Review

Kerberos has done it again, bringing the Sword of the Stars series to the next level
For anyone who's followed this game series since its original release, its interesting to take a look how the game has evolved over the course of the expansions. Its difficult to tell a story with a 4X game while keep... Read Full Review

A surprisingly good, and extremely deep game.
I first heard about Sword of the Stars when a demo was thrown on fileplanet. I played it for a while, thought its fine and un-installed it. A couple of months later, i was looking for something to do and went back to th... Read Full Review

Excellent
I bought this game for 1 quid at HMV, and have not regretted it. It streamlines the planetary colonizing to a point where there is no micromanagement but still you still retain the joy of colonization. The real time bat... Read Full Review

A True Strategy lovers delight.
This is a solid game. It is a little more complicated than the old MOO, but has that same feel. The tech tree is diverse, and the player’s empire will have access to different techs in different games. Just enough to mak... Read Full Review
