Description

Sins of a Solar Empire offers a stunning 3D engine that has been designed to show off today's hardware but still look stunning on older systems. With dozens of single player scenarios to choose from, the single player experience provides outstanding replayability while the integrated multiplayer features allow users to play up to 9 human or computer controlled opponents over the Internet. It's a game where victory is based on your strategy, not how fast you can click the mouse.

Features

  • Explore the Epic Scale of a Dynamic Galaxy
    Explore and conquer neighboring planets and distant solar systems in a massively scaled, fully 3D galaxy featuring orbiting planets, clusters of asteroids, rare comets and radiant stars.
  • Customize and Improve Powerful Units As battle hardened capital ships advance in level, their core offensive and defensive systems are improved and their unique abilities are unlocked. Try out the devastating Raze Planet, the tactical Clairvoyance, and the hull ravaging Phase Missile Swarm.
  • Take on Multiple Roles
    Transition between the roles of emperor and fleet commander as you zoom-in seamlessly to direct a crucial battle while managing the rest of your empire effortlessly on the same screen.
  • Extensive Diplomatic and Economic Strategies
    Diplomatic and economic strategists can exercise a variety of options including forging and breaking alliances, trading resources, placing bounties on backstabbing ex-allies and over-powered tyrants, blockading enemy planets, establishing trade routes, and manipulating the commodities market.
