Still, if you're a player who loves bloodless victories, this isn't the game for you. Personally, we love it that way, because that's the approach we take in other empire-style games. Sure, you can engage in diplomacy, and sure you can spread your culture throughout the galaxy, and you can even leverage your economy to create conflicts between other players, but at the end of the day, all of those efforts are just designed to support your success in the massive fleet battles. Though we're calling this a 4X empire-style game, we should make clear that, like Destineer's Sword of the Stars, this is a game about war. That's not to say it's without flaws, but it does so many things right that you'll barely notice the few things that it gets wrong. Their recent Sins of a Solar Empire has totally captivated us, ever since our first experience with the beta and we're happy to say that the final game is every bit as good as we expected.
