    Pretty underwhelming expansion. Really doesn't feel like it is moving the game forward, which is what you want an expansion to do. Its main feature, mercenaries often seem pointless and the way they are done gives the very limit spans of usefulness (if at all).

    Easily one of the best modern remakes of and old 4x game. It feels very much like GalCiv II but with that extra visual and sound quality that will keep your jaw on the floor as you plow through hours and hours of this game.

    Playing against other players in Galactic Civilizations 3: Mercenaries offers far more bang for your buck as far as this DLC goes. The AI does not seem to utilise the expansion, whereas with humans it can indeed be a very intense rush for the good ships. It will feel slightly cheap to those just beating on computers, though.

    While it's not a complete waste, Mercenaries is a disappointment, and it left me second-guessing my allies in war.

    The Mercenaries expansion adds to the already great game with new races to play with, new campaigns to conquer and new ways to dominate the galaxy.
