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): 1.43/day in the week to Aug 13 → 15.71/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.
About
You are a member of Task Force Dagger, an elite international special forces unit. Your missions take you across the globe—through frozen coasts, dense jungles, and war-torn cities. In Dagger Directive, tactical freedom is everything: pick your loadout, choose the time of day, and decide whether to strike hard and fast or move like a ghost.
Every mission is yours to shape.
Fight across three full campaigns, each set in a distinct region with its own atmosphere, enemies, and tactical challenges. Disrupt an eco-terrorist operation in the frigid Bering Sea. Battle organized crime across the volatile South Pacific. Crush an extremist uprising in Eastern Europe.
Each mission offers a different tactical sandbox, with objectives you can approach from multiple angles.
Gear up from a robust arsenal of 25+ weapons, each customizable with a wide range of attachments. Whether you're breaching doors with an underbarrel shotgun, clearing angles with suppressed SMGs, or picking off targets at extreme range, the armory has you covered. Supplement your firepower with drones, tripwires, grenades, and mines, and experiment with combinations that suit your style.
Dagger Directive blends modern game feel with grounded mechanics. Every bullet and piece of shrapnel has weight, velocity, and trajectory—simulated in real time. Adjust your scope for distance, lead moving targets, and respect the chaos of ricochets. Even grenades scatter deadly fragments that obey real physics.
This isn’t just spray and pray—it’s precision under pressure.
Each mission takes place in a large open area with multiple entry points, dense foliage, and tactical verticality. Control the environment by shooting out lights, hiding in tall grass, or stalking through shadows. Select the time of day before each op—just don’t forget your NVGs if you’re going in after dark.
The battlefield is a tool, if you know how to use it.
The Early Access version of Dagger Directive is already packed with depth and variety:
A 15-mission campaign that spans all three global theaters, offering replayability through multiple tactical approaches.
Full co-op multiplayer, so you and your squad can coordinate, flank, and execute missions together.
Over 25 weapons, dozens of attachments, and a wide variety of tactical gear—already giving you the tools to play your way.
A broad range of tactical equipment including deployable drones, anti-personnel mines, and multiple grenade types, adding layers of strategic options.
Post-launch development will expand both depth and customization:
A mission editor with full Steam Workshop support, allowing players to build and share their own operations.
An expanded tutorial system that dives deeper into advanced weapons, tools, and stealth mechanics.
A powerful Free Play Mode, where players can spawn enemies, allies, vehicles, and gear to experiment or create their own combat scenarios.
Modding support for weapons and gear, empowering the community to add entirely new content to the sandbox.

Honestly, never thought a tactical shooter with sega saturn graphics and art style would be my thing, but this... this is one of my favorite games. Thanks to SixtyAteWhiskey on YouTube for recommending this!
A walking sim where the penalty for not knowing where the enemy is at in advance is another 5 minute walk back. If you like slow crawl hunting games, this one is for you.

很棒的游戏,这才是真正的《三角洲部队》的精神续作。虽然游戏画面有些复古,但游戏内核与机制还是与时代接轨的,虽说现版本游戏内容还不够丰富但是未来可期。
If you never played the old Delta Force FPS games, give this a try. It feels very different from contemporary tactical shooters but the fundamentals are all there. Here you can try your hand at some extreme distance sniping, which is a rarity in videogames.
A hardcore retro tactical FPS that pulls no punches with it's difficulty. Charming old school graphics/aesthetic, tight gunplay. AI for enemies on normal mode are adept at gunfighting and are increasingly lethal the closer you are to them, spot you from believable distances under reasonable circumstances, and adept at searching for you near your last known position. They use cover, smoke grenades and frag grenades to break line of sight and flush you out. been caught in several flanking maneuvers when I got complacent about my movement. Light and very simple inventory management. Without friends to play with, you are lone wolfing the missions. Very tense gunfights, esp. without friends. Some odd directional audio mixing from time to time and the odd visual bug occasionally. 9.5/10 stars. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a challenging singleplayer or coop tactical fps. I want more guns!!!
This game is awesome! I love the retro but modern feel to it. The developers are very active with their updates and they seem to be working very hard on it. I would recommend this game to anyone who likes tactical shooters.
i have 20 bomb drones in my pocket and zero regard for the geneva convention
Completely and utterly broken. Stutters heavily in ship and will not let me start a new mission. It will endlessly load up a previous save. I really liked this game/demo :(
It’s truly amazing to see such a perfect spiritual successor to Delta Force in this day and age. The pixel art style is beautifully crafted, yet it never skimps on realistic details. The gunfire and explosion sounds are incredibly immersive and thunderous. The game seamlessly blends classic firearms with modern weaponry and drone systems. What’s more, official Chinese support has been available ever since the playtest launched. I’d give this a solid 10/10 and wholeheartedly recommend it to all my friends. 在如今这个年代,还能看到如此完美的三角洲特种部队精神续作,像素的画风,又不缺失拟真细节,相当震撼的枪声和爆炸声,同时结合经典和现代的武器和无人机系统,最后自从游戏测试开始就自带中文,我会 满分推荐给我的朋友
the vanilla maps are a walking sim and there are no vehicles
