  1. A must-buy expansion. While I badly want to see larger-scale enhancements to the gameplay for future expansions, the amount of content in this release still balances very well against its cost, and those 'turtle'-styled RTS gamers (guilty here) hesitant to get onboard Sins of a Solar Empire due to the lack of any real defensive options will now have a great reason to pick it up.
  2. Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment is a nice addition to an excellent game. [Apr 2009]
  3. Hopefully, the next expansion will bring some changes to the table that round out the game a little more, and strike a new balance. I'm tired of stalemates.

    All I can say is I love it, finaly this game has the overpowered behemoths of death it deserved! Nothing more fun than seeing an entire AI fleet get mushed to a pulp when attacking a fully upgraded starbase with a small garriosn of troops with it, really solves the problems from the first game. :) Expand

    If after reading Sins has an expansion you have any desire to play again then buy this expansion. It adds lovely new options to play with for a ridiculously low price. The balance is as near perfect as it could be, ignore others who think balance = mirror image factions, the AI got more I, and it's crash free for me so far. Expand
