Description
Sword of the Stars returns gamers to the action-packed roots of the 4X genre
with some new twists, including a 3D starmap and real-time combat resolution
in a 3D environment.
Features
- 4 distinct races - Human, Hiver, Tarkas and Liir - each with their own
technology advantages and disadvantages.
- A powerful state of the art engine delivers breathtaking graphics and
robust gameplay.
- Each race has a unique mode of transport between star systems, creating
very different styles of play, depending on what race you choose to control.
- Slider bar controls and simplified interface to avoid the confusion of
other games without sacrificing depth of gameplay.
- Over 150 distinct technologies to research on a dynamic tech tree that
changes from game to game. While the core technology of the tree is
consistent, certain offshoots are random from game to game. There is no
perfect path up the tech tree to memorize and exploit, because the path
keeps changing
- New technology reflected in detailed ship models, weapons and combat
effects. Over 40 weapons from six different weapon classes, in various size
classes, from point defence, turrets, to massive spinal mounts
- Players can design and build ships from three size classes - Destroyer,
Cruiser, and Dreadnought - by mixing and matching ship sections (command,
mission, and engines), then outfitting them with armour and weapons to suit
their preference.
- Up to 8 players can play against the AI and one another over LAN or
online.
- Choose from a variety of scenario campaigns to play alone or with friends, each adding more colour and depth to the Sword of the Stars universe.
