Default Re: Sins of a Solar Empire

Hmm, I played a couple of hours myself, but I've to say I'm mildly disappointed. This is in an entirely different league than Homeworld, so don't go into it expecting anything like that.

I suppose whoever compared it to Supreme Commander in space had the right of it. Just alot less units and a basic research tree. The game is also basically 2D( seem to remember reading someone said it was possible to move ships on the z axis too, but at the very least it's not necessary ).

One thing that bothered me a little was that even the smallest non-fighter ships( frigates ) take a long time to kill, even with 3 capital ships shooting at it. Also a bit much clutter on the UI I thought.

Decent enough game to kill a few hours I guess, but nothing groundbreaking or really original.
