Heavy Metal Machines

Heavy Metal Machines

Don’t know how did it happen but I played 650+ hours in this game.

With that been said I decided to write my first ever review. For starters, I have to say that I haven’t played much for the last half of the year, but several rounds I played yesterday reminded me why I don’t really want to continue.

I played on European server, so all I say is related to that. Because I belive situation on South American server is very different.

The first good, then bad impressions. The gameplay is very good, machines are well balanced and have distinct features. Even after mastering your skill with a certain machine, you have dozen of other machines which will give you totally different game experiences. It’s interesting to play solo (those games when you play with bots in your team :) ) and in the team. Team play is very important and brings the most fun. So there is so much to learn to become a good player and it seems that you could have spend a very long time with this game, but it doesn’t happen and below I continue why…

Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion

Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion

Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a space strategy game and a real-time strategy (RTS) game which incorporates 4X strategy game elements. This game was developed by Ironclad Games and published by Stardock Entertainment and is only available on PC.

While you may notice another game with Sins of a Solar Empire in its title (Sins of a Solar Empire: Trinity), that is an older version of the game. Rebellion is the definitive and superior version as it not only offers numerous additions to the game, like Titans and new Factions to play as, but also contains everything from the previous versions of the game.

Sins of a Solar Empire represents a fun and visually spectacular 4x game. But the 4x is a bit tilted. There is diplomacy and you can win with diplomacy, there is exploration and you will need to explore and there is exploitation. But Sins of a Solar Empire at it’s core is a game of extermination, combat drives the game and will dominate the majority of what you do, but that is perfectly fine considering how fun it is.

This game is well supported considering it’s age though optimisation in multiplayer is poor and they do not allow you to local host your games instead requiring you to connect to their servers. The attention to detail in the base game is excellent from space elevators and space traffic around your planets to having individual weapon ports on ships with their own firing arcs. It’s hard to get bored of this game especially if you have friends to play with.

I love anything that has something to do with guns and this game is awesome. You can automatically let it do its thing or manually do it your self (I suggest you do it manually cuz it’s more fun and sometimes you need a strategic approach). I like the story, tanks, events, all in all It’s great. You can play it casually or If you are a hardcore player that too.

This game was good at the beginning, and perhaps still is, but developer policy is constantly killing any enjoyment that player can have.

Game is interesting, as a simple time killer, and can hook you for good especially when you love tanks and bit of alternative reality, but as i said developer policy is cancer, a great wall that you can’t hope to overcome if you don’t throws tons of money at it.

Pros;

Nice tanks models - real ones, and fictional ones.

Bit of tactical and strategical play-style - some tanks are good in specific set-ups.
