Sins of a Solar Empire

[OneoftheLost]

Ordered this game sent to the desert, still waiting on it to get sent, is it any good? How's the Multiplayer? And how well does Hamachi work with it? Anyone know?

P.S. Sorry for the Frankenpost, just need info.

Its quite a bit of fun, but forewarning, it can easily take two three, even five(!) hours per match. Its a deep, involved game.

Here's my first tip too you.

A. GET ZE PATCHES. The developers have completely revamped numerous aspects of the game with the latest patches.

B. Multiplayer is alot of fun, but its sort of a nightmare to be able to set up your own servers, I'm not sure why, but it needs practically ALL of your router ports open. Its a bit rediculous, as a result not alot of people host servers, and the ones that do, tend to get full fast.

C. On to basic singleplayer. There is NO SP CAMPAIGN. NONE. ZERO STORY. The only explanation you get is in the manual and starting video. So be prepared for skirmish mode against bots. Its still alot of fun, it just is jarring if you paid expecting to get a deep involved storyline.

Overall its up to you to judge the game, if I had to sum it up, I would say that the game is Homeworld 2 mixed with Civilization IV. Lots of tactics, but also alot of X4 type civilization building.

Hope some of that helps you! :D
