Sins of a Solar Empire is said to be the birth of the RT4X genre, and is described as a blend of spectacular tactical combat with grand scale space strategy. In the game, players will have to conquer worlds, engage in diplomacy and trade with other civilizations. It will also be vital to use the resources at their disposal to enhance their civilization’s economy, develop new technology and increase military power.

Sins of a Solar Empire is exactly the sort of game we’ve been looking for,” said Brian Clair, Director of Games Publishing for Stardock Entertainment. “Ironclad is developing a beautiful and ambitious game that merges the best elements of 3D space-based real-time strategy and ‘4X’ games like Galactic Civilizations II.

Sins of a Solar Empire will be released on TotalGaming.net and will be available at retail stores across North America in August 2007.
