Not just an RTS...

Miserable 1/10 review aside from someone thinking this game is something it's not...this game is solid fun. Deep, engaging, and rewarding if you can make it past the learning curve. Yes, getting a foot in the door can be a pain, but it's not impossible. It's also well worth the effort.
This is not StarCraft, Command & Conquer, or even Homeworld. Sword of the Stars falls into the realm of 4x strategy games like Civilization, Sins of a Solar Empire, or Master of Orion. Don't get me wrong, I love me some straight up RTS games; I'm just warning those looking for that experience. This game is far more massive in scale, and requires a lot more patience...and time.
