About This Game

Command or corrupt an entire galaxy in the definitive Star Wars strategy collection. It is a time of galactic civil war. Will you take up the reins of the Rebellion, assume control of the Empire, or rule the Star Wars Underworld?
Star Wars Empire at War:
From the lives of soldiers to the deaths of planets, you are the supreme galactic commander. It is a time of galactic civil war. Take up the reins of the Rebellion or assume control for the Empire. Whichever you choose, it will be up to YOU to steer your side to ultimate victory. Command everything from individual troops to starships and even the mighty Death Star as you execute campaigns on the ground, in space and across the galaxy. Forget tedious resource gathering – just jump straight into the heart of the action. You can even change Star Wars history! Every decision affects your next battle and every battle helps shape the fate of the galaxy.

  • Conquer or liberate over 80 ground and space locations including Kashyyyk, Tatooine and Dagobah – each with its own strategic advantage.
  • Command iconic Star Wars characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Boba Fett.
  • Pit X-wings against TIE fighters or command an entire fleet of Star Destroyers in space. Then send down land forces to secure the planet below.
Star Wars® Empire at War™: Forces of Corruption™:
You’ve played the light side. You’ve played the dark side. Now play the corrupt side! As Tyber Zann you’ll stop at nothing to become the most notorious criminal leader since Jabba the Hutt. With all new tactics like piracy, kidnapping, racketeering and bribery, you can control the shadowy forces of corruption in your attempt to rule the Star Wars underworld. Don’t just control the galaxy…corrupt it!

  • All new units and planets: Command over 28 new underworld units as well as new Rebel and Imperial forces and heroes on 13 new planets.
  • Expanded Multiplayer: Experience all out, three-faction battles and now play the same side against itself with mirror play.

As a huge starwars fan, this game is great! Get the added dlc for even more fun with it adding a new campaign and another faction. Plus new units for the Rebels and the Empire. This game is truely a past time for me. I have many more hours then what steam says I have. This is the thrid time I have brought the game. As I lost my first two cds and still wanted to play it.

Game is very moddable as well. As a huge fan of the expanded universe, aka legends series now. The Imperial Civil War mod is o detailed and makes the game when you get tired of it seem like an entire new game. I would always recommend this game to every star wars fan or RTS fan. AI can be easy at time, but playing online with mods is your wits against another person. Using every skill you have to win.

This game is amazing. I played the normal version before i bought a copy on steam to play FoC and both of which i would reccomend to any Star Wars fan. However after you beat the campaigne, the game can seem a bit dry but this is easily fixed with the Absolute Corruption mod.

9/10 would reccomend, Graphics arent best but they get the job done on high

A guy had posted in the community hub yesterday to see if anybody would want the game, he said if you don't have it and I didn't have and I've been wanting this for a while now. And if it weren't for him posting it then i wouldn't be here typing this review. And for a 10 year old game, its pretty ♥♥♥♥ing good, reminds me a lot like company of heroes.

Although nearly 10 years old Empire at War represents the FINEST in Star Wars Strategy Games. Whether you want to do a "Galaxy Conquest" mode and just play as either the Empire or Rebellion, or do a story mode learning about the empire or republic this is the game to get. It also has multiplayer support and a massive amount of mods, many of which focus on other eras of the star wars legacy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eREtAp3Yf3s

As a Star Wars game, it is absolutley stellar. Other than the Battlefront games, this is by far my favorite Star Wars game out there.

As a RTS game, it also scores high on my list. The ground based combat works quite well, but the space combat above planets is phenomenal. Very good game. I'm excited to seek out and try all the different mods!

Nice strategy game. Each side has its own special abilities and no side is too strong. And there is a Republic at War mod.

This is a great game, as many have called it, a masterpiece. I do not disagree.

PLEASE NOTE, however, that online multiplayer stopped functioning back in 2013 with the downfall of GameSpy. LAN multiplayer is the only available option left.

I was involved in this games community log before i was released. I loved this game more than ever when it came out and even had some input as part of the community in its development. (this was before Petroglyph has official forums(Yeah im that old XD) I love this game to death and have spent many hours away from Steam playing it. I even bought a second copy just so i can play it again. I would have loved for a follow on to this game was made as it was awesome.
