GDN: Sword of the Stars - Murder of Crows Game info

Sword of the Stars is a pretty cool game to begin with, so I have high hopes when I hear about an addition or expansion to the game. This one is looking to be shaping up nicely and we should get our hands on it next month to find out if they’re remaining true to the quality of the originals.

A Murder of Crows, the latest addition to the highly acclaimed 4X space strategy game franchise, Sword of the Stars (PC). This brand new expansion pack exemplifies Kerberos Production’s continued commitment to the dedicated Sword of the Stars community.

Players are required to have either Sword of the Stars: Collector’s Edition or Born of Blood in order to play the game. A Murder of Crows will be available for purchase exclusively at www.GamersGate.com in September 2008.

GAME SUMMARY

While the four civilized races battle back the voracious Zuul and seek advantage over each other, a ghost from the past returns to the galaxy in the form of the manipulative Morrigi. Already known for their dark crow-shaped attack drones and deadly traps, this race once thought long extinct, returns looking for vengeance.

Using never-before-seen weapons, ships and tactics, the Morrigi fall upon the other five races of the Sword of the Stars universe, who must now adapt to the ancient masters of space or be destroyed.

Time is of the essence as world after world falls to the black winged ships that surge out of the dark like A Murder of Crows.
