Great game! Sword of the Stars focuses on commanding the galaxy with 5 races with their own unique way of traveling the stars. To win, you need to successfully explore, colonize other worlds, research new technologies and use strategies against your enemies. Some neat features I like compared to other games is the random tech tree. You are never guaranteed to get the same weapons two games in a row. You also gain the ability to potentially salvage technology from the wreckage of your enemies.
The game is also set up so that each update to the game is not just about bug fixes, but an evolution time wise in the grand scheme of things. Unknown Alien Menaces evolve, new races show up, more powerful weapons appear, etc.
Good 4x Space Game

Fun game with a good interface and good graphics. The AI seems to be pretty competent. The documentation is lacking, so you will need to look online to find everything you need. More of a war game than a strategy game like MOO2, so it lacks some of the economic and diplomatic options.
An excellent choice!

I am addicted to this game. The strategy is deep, multi-layered, and perenially fresh; and the tactical battles range from calculated precise maneuvers to visceral rampaging bullet-storms. While it may take a bit of effort to learn at first, it's a game that you'll keep playing for a very long time. Especially if you play a lot of multiplayer games. There's a lot of devious players out there with lessons for you. :)
Like it used to be

Sword of the Stars is a game produced from a small developer on a limited budget - yet it is far better than many of the titles put out by the big guys like EA or Activision. Simple management, smooth interface, oppenents that actually play different, and a variable tech tree make this a great game with lots of replay.
It's good to see a small company with limited funds put together such a great game.
