Rebellion will offer two separate factions: the Rebels and the Loyalists. Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion promises to continue the successful mix of 4x strategy elements with real time strategy space combat. So to me this means that you don’t need to own the original game to play Rebellion. Stardock describes Rebellion as a “full fledged stand alone expansion” to the original title. If you’re unfamiliar with Sins of a Solar Empire or you want to know more about the SoaSE universe I invite you to read my SoaSE Trinity review before you read about Rebellion.

Ironclad and Stardock deserve an applause for having created a game that successfully mixes the RTS mechanic with the 4x genre in such a fantastic way. It excels on providing a rich gaming experience that will no doubt entertain you for many hours. Sins of a Solar Empire – Trinity – is a very nicely done game. Sins is not like Master of Orion 2 or Galactic Civilizations but much more like Homeworld, Imperium Galactica or Star Wars: Empire at War. SoaSE provides a mix of real-time strategy and 4x mechanics which results in a much more tactical game like Starcraft or Command & Conquer but still preserving a good depth of strategic options. The next two chapters are a clip of my review of SoaSE Trinity (SpaceSector score: 9.2). Very Short Introduction and Glimpse Review of Sins of a Solar Empire Four days ago, in March 1st 2011, Ironclad Games and Stardock announced Rebellion, the next chapter of the Sins of a Solar Empire saga. The release date was not yet announced, but there are indications that foresee a release for Q4 2011.
