Sins of a Solar Empire®: Rebellion

Great space strategy game. Especially if you like the mods. Star Trek, Star Wars, Stargate, its all here for the Fan who loves starships and combat.

A PvP/PvBots focused standalone game based on Sins of a Solar Empire main space 4X combat strategy game made by the same dev team.

While it took a while I 100% this game. The mods are amazing from Star Trek, Star Gate and Halo to many other that have their own meta and strategies. Yes the second game is out now but, get this on discount as a "tutorial" for Sins 2 (that and to kill time till the Halo and other sci-fi mods get put in).

and yes, I did play as the borg (mod) and somehow assimilated the crystalline entity.

I like the game play and the atmosphere of the game, I just wish there was more of a community around it

great game lore also great

I played this a ton years ago. I remember it being fun, but don't remember anything about it

always a jolly good time

great rts game

Terrific Game! Will never be replaced.

One of the best real time strategy games ever made. If you love RTS you have to try it. Still eminently playable in 2025, it doesn't feel dated at all.

Love this game. One of the best 4X games you can buy not just for the solid core gameplay but also the extensive mods that cover anything from Star Trek to Mass Effect. Love this game.

I can't rate this..... I can't.

yes

Good for LAN lobbies.

simple fun game

This game has the reputation of being one of the best RTS games, but I don't really see it. It straddles the line between traditional/action RTS (think WC3/SC:BW or AoE2) and 4X (Stellaris, Endless Space 2) and ultimately ends up not being terribly good on either front.
Maybe I haven't delved deep enough, apparently there are people who invest hundreds of hours into this, but I'm just not hooked after a couple of games against the AI. Pass.

better than 2

getting a little long in the teeth but still a great 4x game and a good way into the genre

peak 4X RTS

What a great game this still is.

It beats the Homeworld series flat on the head, it is much better than Solaris and Endless Space although both titles clearly take heavy inspiration from Sins of Solar Empire..

Silver fish of the black sea, how do you prey?

I RECOMMEND

One of my go too Strategy games

I like the game, but it takes a long time to learn to play.

One of the most addictive RTS games I've ever played.

i fucking hate this game

fun

its good

it's good on x4 speed

I though this was a normal rts game. I was wrong. After downloading sins of the prophets on the first day i played it, i spent the next 8 hours of my life battling the covenant and flood at every single corner, scratching away at a wall of insomnia and sleep deprived glory. This has left me scarred and deformed beyond recognition, and it only capable of inflicting a deep and emotional sense of attachment to your ship, as you perform what can only be known as "The Mod Gambit", taking your fleet and piercing throughout enemy space, in a desperate bid to strike at their homeworld. Oh, and uh.... would reccomend, i guess. 100000/10 for sure. fantastic game.

I absolutely love this game. Especially the mods. So many available. Star wars, halo, star trek.

love the older look

Fantastic game. Im only hoping the new one will be just as good.

lots of sandbox fun

This game is a time machine.

It's ok I guess...

Great Game, Mods are fantastic

Besides Star Wars: Empire at War, my favorite space RTS game. Multiplayer works very well and mod capability is very good. Combat and infastructure mechanics are very solid. Challenging game and very fun.

One of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing. This game is definitely worth the money whether you want a solo or multiplayer experience.

good way to kill some time with friends for an afternoon or 2

Very nice but play the new one

Good game, fun. 10,000 hours of it.

Enoyable rts experience.

Awesome strategy game, love the mods the most

Did i suck at it? yes. Did I also lose 5 hours in a blink also yes.

Back when this game came out some 10 years ago I had a non-steam version that I 100%. Now with the sequel just coming out recently I've come back to 100% the steam version.

Sins of the Solar Empire is actually a really great and fun rts space combat game and while its sad that it has no major single player mode, an odd fact that was somewhat common for the hay day it came out in, the lore and behind it has always been great I think.

They tell and show you just enough to spark your imagination with the story and make you want more. For 10+ years this little gem stayed in my heart as I hoped for more of the story. Sadly... the sequel does not seem like its answering any of the questions I've asked over the years.

Why was the Advent banished? What are the Vasari running away from? I love the RTS elements of the this series but I want more. I want characters, I want story, I want a fucking book or rpg based on this universe. I want to know more about this universe. I've been wanting to know for over 10 years and Ironclad doesn't want to tell me.

And its kind of annoying to be honest.

Here's hoping I'm wrong about the sequel and its following DLC and that it actually decides to tell rest of the story and not just be Sins of the Solar Empire v2.0

NANITE COMMAND PROTOCOLS ARE NOW SYCHRONIZED

A classic. Great with mods.
