An informative review of Sword of the Stars II.
GCO: "Angry Joe recently had a chance to talk to Paradox Interactive CEO Fredrik Wester about past missteps of the company, most notedly the release of Sword of the Stars II back in 2011."
From Strategyinformer.com: "It’s been a little over a year since Paradox and Kerberos released Sword of the Stars II, the bigger-and-better sequel to the original cult-classic that merged Civ-like Empire management and epic tactical space battles. Unfortunately, when it was first released in 2011, it was terrible – and not just in a "oh this isn’t really a good game" kind of way, I mean there were entire sections of the game that were missing. You don’t often see screw-ups like that these days, and while I may have been a bit lenient on it during my review, I still understood that Sword of the Stars II was nowhere near where it should be."
Kerberos Productions released the Enhanced Edition of last year's 4X Strategy Game, Sword of the Stars. Does this newly updated version make the game better than it was? Lasting First Impressions take it for a test drive to determine if it's worth your time.
Good review, the other thing the review forgets to mention is that the release version wasn't fit for purpose. But luckily the dev's realised this pretty quick and have been releasing 2-3 patches a week to fix this.
I more or less decided to ignore the glitches as I knew they'd get fixed. I was intending to hit the review from a different angle is all.
