Quicksilvers
CAGiversary!
The game is not redeemable on STEAM.
Was wondering if anyone here had played it and could recommend it (or not)

I've actually had my eyes on this all day. I originally wanted sins of a solar Empire last week when it was on sale but was completely bummed to find out that it didn't have a single player campaign. But after reading reviews it sounds like sword of the stars does offer a single player campaign so this may fill my need for galactic conquest.
Anyone play this yet or have any input?
Edit - Just bought it
This will tide me over till Steam *hopefully* puts Titan Quest Gold on sale this week!

I've played both and I regret to inform you that you made the wrong choice. Sins is the better game, and it doesn't really need a campaign to be enjoyed. If it's a good turn-based 4x space strategy game you're after, Galactic Civilizations 2 is better than Sword of the Stars.

Sword of the Stars is more of a space combat game than a 4x IMO. There is little control over planetary makeup, the tech tree is focused on military advances, and diplomacy against the AI is limited.
Having said that, I find this game to be a blast. I really enjoy both the tactical and strategic aspects of combat. It can be a little repetitive, and you don't have as much control over the behavior of your units as you might in other games, but for me it was a blast. Just know that it is brutal and you will lose a lot of ships. This game is a battle of attrition and who can get there "first with the most".
