2 of 2 people found the following review helpful Fun for hours, By Lyndon Liberty (Huber Heights, OH 45424) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sword of the Stars: Ultimate Collection [Download] (Software Download) Ok, I am an old hand at these types of games, and a bit jaded with the lack of AI being compensated with 'cheating' and or zerg-giest 'AI' in the genre overall.This one pleasantly suprised me with some AI, like using abilities the races actually have, and reasources actually on hand... Of course, that is it's downfall too. After a certain point, you get to walk all over them at will, but up to that point it can be a handful. NOW, multi-player, THAT is where it's at! The only downside I could find is that lack of 'armada' 3D combat... you can only throw a few ships into the fray at once... and pray you pick the right ones... le sigh Overall I give it a 4/5. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful NVM, turned out to be a human error on my part, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Sword of the Stars: Ultimate Collection [Download] (Software Download) I installed this, but it only is one of the SOTS expansion packs, specifically, A Murder Of Crows.

I've enjoyed the game however I reached the point where it is just not as fun for me and I will toss this game on the shelf next to the other games I use to like. I got my moneys worth. It is just, for me, the flaws of the game out weigh my present enjoyment. Anyway here are the specifics... Good +++I like the design of the races and how each race has unique traits, combat philosophy, and ship design. They had some clever ideas I thought. +++The game allows tactical combat and no free camera gives a bit of the "fog of war" during combat. +++I enjoy the technology tree. Each game you get different available technologies. So if one game you built armored BattleStar Galactica type ships and the next game you may have Star Trek type of ships with phasers, photon torpedoes, and shields... Read more |
