    A pretty enjoyable empire management and strategy game, but brought down by an underwhelming combat system.

    There is no point in spending time and money on Lords of the Black Sun. It’s not that bad, but there are much better alternatives available now.

    From diplomacy to war, there are far better games to occupy your time in this genre even if some are getting on in age.

    I love 4x turn based strategies. But this one is simply bad.

    There are very few things that one could compliment the game for. Probably the    I love 4x turn based strategies. But this one is simply bad.

    There are very few things that one could compliment the game for. Probably the most interesting is concept of political speeches, and empire polices; such as slavery, child labor, social benefits etc. Every other aspect of the game (colony management, research, combat, general user interface friendliness etc…) is completely lacking. The game play as a whole is to micromanagement demanding, and quite frankly simply boring.

    Its not very good, there are some parts which are interesting like 'threatening' during dipolmacy, or empire wide industry, but on the wholeIts not very good, there are some parts which are interesting like 'threatening' during dipolmacy, or empire wide industry, but on the whole everything is subpar, and the game is in alpha-quality despite being released. I even like these type of games.… Expand
