Combine new weapons, ship types, the wonderfully realized debut of the Zuul race, deeper gameplay, more scenarios and new ways to play, and you've got a solid, if unforgiving, title for hardcore turn-based fans to set their sights on. Kerberos definitely put enough into this to make it more than just a mission pack but not quite a full sequel. Sword of the Stars: Born of Blood expands and improves on an already good title; just remember that it can be aggravatingly difficult at times.

Sword of the Stars is unique from other turn-based space empire titles out there, the enormous sizes of the galaxies and their shapes set it apart. Players of the original will already be familiar with this but for those still in the dark, space is all 3D here and not just in terms of pretty graphics. The planets span all through the x,y and z axis making for a very realistic and challenging mechanic to work with. It can be very daunting to new players and not just because of the amount of rotating and squinting youll be doing, but because the game carries some brutal events.
