[PC, STEAM] Sins of a Solar Empire FREE (Was USD $9.99) @ Humble Bundle

2420

The Next Installment to the Award-Winning RTS.

While many were hopeful that diplomacy would finally end the war, differing opinions on what should be done, along with the depleted power of the controlling factions, has led to a splintering of the groups involved.

The loyalist members of the Trader Emergency Coalition adopt a policy of isolation, focusing on enhanced defenses to ride out the rest of the war. Those who rebel against the coalition take on a purely militant view, coming to the opinion that the only way to bring peace is by ultimately crushing all who oppose them - especially xenos.

For the first time in their history, the war creates a schism in the Advent Unity. The loyalists seek to continue their policy of revenge against the Traders, and to assimilate all others to the Unity’s influence. However, others amongst the Advent suspect that a corrupting influence from within has diverted the Unity from its proper destiny.

The divide created in the Vasari Empire is less pronounced, but just as severe to their people. With the Vasari now practically frantic to move on to new space, the loyalist faction abandons cooperation and decides to take the resources they need by any means necessary. Having accepted the need to work together, the rebel faction feels that their best chance for survival is to work with the other races and bring them along to flee the approaching enemy.

Take the battle for galactic supremacy to its ultimate level in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – a standalone RT4X game that combines the tactics of real-time strategy with the depth of the 4X genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate).

Key features:

New Factions: Decide whether to play as a Loyalist or Rebel – each unlocks new technologies, ships and play styles for each race.
New Titan Class Warships: Mighty titans enter the fray of the war to tip the scales of power. Each faction may field their own unique titan, drawing upon unique strengths and abilities on the battlefield.
New and Updated Capital Ships: A new capital ship joins the fleet for each race to offer even more tactical options. Additionally, all existing capital ships have been upgraded to four levels for their abilities, allowing players to focus their ships along specific strengths.
New Corvette Class Ships: Small and maneuverable, each faction has developed a new light attack craft to harass enemy forces.
Updated Visuals: Updated graphics, particle effects, lighting and shadows, race specific UI and other enhancements make the Sins’ universe look better than ever.
New Victory Conditions: Take multiple paths to victory including – Military, Diplomatic, Research, Last Flagship Standing, Last Capital Standing and Occupation.
New Audio: More than 60 minutes of original music, countless new sound effects and dozens of new voice overs help bring the drama of battle to new levels of immersion.
Tutorials: New and updated tutorials make it easy for both experienced and new players to quickly start building their own solar empire.
Plus, a number of optimizations that provide better performance than ever before!

      • +1

        Yes… was posted before my morning coffee. You're lucky you got renew :).

        Oh… and the date was wrong too…. bad morning it seems ;).

        • No worries at all… it happens.
          I added the question mark in case there was some kind of system were you had to renew something to get or maintain access.
          Already have this, but linking it to family and friends, thanks to you and OP.

  • Great strategy game.

  • Thanks OP, has trading cards and is on special for USD $9.99 but is usually $39.99 on steam :)

  • Great game, even better free!

  • Great game! I bought it for $10 on sale before - only issue with this as a RTS is games take quite long to finish.

  • +1

    This is a top tier RTS, great fun. Needs a sequel

    • It already is a sequel… But yes, making it a trilogy definitely needs to happen.

  • Great RTS and for free! Thanks OP

  • Is this hard to learn?

    I've never played an RTS ever, played every other genre but not strategy games.

    • +1

      yes, this is up there… even the tutorials are tough … text, click and point

    • +1

      Haven't played this one yet.

      There's difficulty modes in most strategy games. Start on easiest and increase it if you feel comfortable.

  • +1

    Won't play, will take.

    • +1

      I do this as well…. This is a form of sickness, isn't it?

      • I think so yes. I have hundreds of games on Steam that I didn't realize I owned, or didn't know how/when I acquired it.

  • Good game!

  • Unfortunately the DLCs are never heavily discounted; max 50% off, just like Paradox DLCs :(

  • Is it worth paying the pirate to wreak havoc on your enemy?

  • -7

    not completely free: you are paying by giving them your email address :)

  • +2

    Yay. Free.

    Oops, I already got this back in Oct 2013…

  • How to register to Steam?

    • Follow the prompts. You first register with Humble, then it spits out a steam useable key.

  • first of many hopefully. same as last year with lots of giveaway games. still havent touched assassins creed black flag from last year. cheers for posting OP

  • Thanks OP

    Something weird happened. When I got that in Humble, I pressed preview email: it showed me code, when I tried to activate that in Steam, it said that I already have this game, after that I've figured out that it's "Braveland" and it's not "Sins of a Solar Empire" o_O
    BTW: here is code if you want Braveland "GB7V7-2D5QG-CZXTV"

    • Looks like someone redeemed it, thanks for putting up. If you need a sins of a solar empire key still let me know I already have the game so could get you one.
