Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 10 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Stuff decades prior was done better. Terrible path-finding ruins the whole experience. I was done when my ship b lined to the wormhole jump gate, and clipped through the structure before jumping to the next sector with 0 fanfare. Just lazy. I'm guessing things only go downhill from there. Not worth trying to deal with when a game made in 2014 cant even be bothered to have scalable ui a necessity for a RTS.
nops, it seems that steam do not like those who review games in a row, too bad!
本此差评不针对本游戏,仅针对你们选择了 Paradox Interactive作为游戏代理商,Paradox Interactive在自己开发的游戏中强行歪曲历史,妄图达到其丑恶的政治宣传攻击目的。希望以后各位在选择游戏代理商时能注意鉴别那些带有强烈政治歧视倾向的公司。 This negative review is not for this game, only for you who have chosen Paradox Interactive as the game agent, and Paradox Interactive has forcibly distorted history in its own games in a vain attempt to achieve its ugly political propaganda goals. I hope that in the future, when choosing a game affiliate, you will pay attention to identify companies with strong political discriminatory tendencies. Tämä negatiivinen arvostelu ei koske tätä peliä, vain sinulle, joka olet valinnut Paradox Interactiven peliagentiksi, ja Paradox Interactive on väkisin vääristellyt historiaa omissa peleissään turhaan yrittäessään saavuttaa rumat poliittiset propagandatavoitteensa. Toivon, että tulevaisuudessa pelikumppania valittaessa kiinnität huomiota sellaisten yritysten tunnistamiseen, joilla on voimakkaita poliittisia syrjiviä taipumuksia. Denna negativa recension är inte för det här spelet, bara för dig som har valt Paradox Interactive som spelagent, och Paradox Interactive har med våld förvrängt historien i sina egna spel i ett fåfängt försök att uppnå sina fula politiska propagandamål. Jag hoppas att du i framtiden, när du väljer en spelaffiliate, kommer att vara uppmärksam på att identifiera företag med starka politiska diskriminerande tendenser.

Don't, just don't. Game starts ok. It looks like a homeworld clone with nice graphics and good story. It has cutscenes before each mission and it's nice. First 2-3 missions are good. 5th mission was hard to me because I didn't get the core game mechanic: [spoiler]Your main ship is your primary weapon.[/spoiler] Missions are good, pathfinding is bad. Game play loop looks like: you have unlimited resources, enemy spawns ships non-stop. You need to destroy key station to complete the mission. Pathfinding is one of your enemies. Don't think that it's easy to navigate in space. Your fleet can find some asteroid and start moving round till you see it and click a bit left or right to help your ships find how to bypass it :D Also you need to collect collectables (yellow dots). You can upgrade your ships before each mission in exchange for these collectables. It helps a lot. Actually I liked the game even with all these annoying pathfinding issues. I thought that I will write positive review till mission 14 and game breaking bug: You need to get your fleet to the last sector and clear it. It's ok. When you did it, you are getting a cutscene. You need to disarm 3 bombs in 5 minutes. The game gives you 2 bombs :D Really? I spent an hour to get there. Let's try to replay mission - 0 bombs and countdown timer. Let's try again... Finally, 3 bombs. Mission accomplished. Great. Mission 15. Final mission. I beat it and I wanted to know the end of the story. The game showed me windows message instead of finl cutscene: --------------------------- Oops! --------------------------- The game crashed. The crash report folder named "Crash_2026-08-15_181006" next to game executable. It would be great if you'd send it to the developer of the game! --------------------------- ОК --------------------------- P.S. Game developers stopped adding achievements on mission 10. Only 4.4% players have this achievement :D
Good
Good game. Crashes sometimes. Autosave doesn't work well.
I have a pretty new gaming laptop and the game still lags on low. It's quite boring as well
For me very booring. Bad gameplay, bad control and bad visual.
I think the reviews of the game is too harsh, it is a good game with a good story. Yes, there is alot of micro management with using the right ships against the right enemy. However I do enjoy that and you can always pause.
