Here’s a game I’d heard a lot about being huge and epic, giving the player a simple place to start.

Read on to see what I thought of the latest beta build.Īs you can see from the screenshot above, the main menu is pretty sparse, and I admit I was taken aback by this. However, as the original had a great deal of love and hype associated with it, I tried to approach Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion ( Rebellion) with hopefully no expectations, and in the mindset of the total n00b that I was (which is why you won’t read any comparisons to the original here). Therefore, it was with no small amount of trepidation that I approached this…sequel? Expandalone? Not sure what to call it, honestly.

The reasons for this are personal and varied, and aren’t the fault of the original game in the slightest.

I never played the original Sins of a Solar Empirefor more than five minutes, and only once.
