Amped Gaming Reviews Sins of a Solar Empire

Published on March 19, 2009 By Island Dog In PC Gaming

The gang over at AmpedGaming.com have published their review of Sins of a Solar Empire.

“Arguably my favourite aspect of Sins is that it brings back an aspect of RTS games that have been quite absent in many games recently. This is the diplomacy menu and the trade and commerce menu. Any Hardcore RTS boasts the ability for you to not only conquer with military power but to run your enemies out of business with smooth economics skills or to get others to destroy them for you using supreme diplomacy skills. Sins has both of these in a triumphant fashion, the diplomacy and trade being merged to allow you to manipulate people at will in almost any way you choose.”

That actually seems kind of misleading. They're pretty strongly implying that there are alternate paths to victory in the game besides "conquer everyone," which as yet sadly isn't true. I'm pleased to hear this is being addressed in the new expansion, but implying that trade and diplomacy are somehow major aspects of the current game is questionable at best. I'm not familiar with AmpedGaming, but this would make me question the veracity of any review of theirs.

Well, you can do allied victory by getting everybody to like you, though its very hard since like 90% of the missions seem to be to attack your ally

I'd have to agree with Vinraith, the only I know how to beat down my opponents in Sins is by utter military destruction. Well, that being said by a Vasari. My friends play the other races more than I so I can't speak for their armies.

Heh I said "utter"
