Kerberos has announced the latest in the long line of critical balance, improvement and fix patches arriving several times a week for their space strategy and simulation title Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter. Owners can grab it now on Steam. The update adds a few critical fixes, along with several smaller ones. Minor changes to the tech tree and ship tuning as well.
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.
