Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
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): 0.71/day in the week to Aug 26 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Add-ons
Each DLC is estimated with the same model as a game, then summed — a modeled figure, not reported DLC sales.
Sums Steam only; GOG, Epic publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.
Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

Reviews
Nice little single player RTS missions, pity it was never given to modders it would be epic. buy on sale.
other than being unable to change keyboard shortcuts in a easy manner (have to use the config file in the \Deserts of Kharak\out\cloud) the story and game on harder levels is quite enjoyable.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

only bad thing is the view controls and thats it. sadly no one is playing multiplayer anymore or its small groups but its a lot of fun. wish that they let us do full ai battles but hey thats not what this is for.
The real Homeworld 3. A very faithful sequel with enough new bits to keep you hooked. Great story, fun gameplay loop, real feeling of threat during battles thanks to the great balancing. Cons - Camera is hard work at time. If you are put off by it not being space based, don't be. It's a true and faithful part of the Homeworld story, with the gameplay to match.
I love this game and for whatever reason my hours on record don't line up with how many I've actually sunk into it. However $50 bucks is wild especially since it is 10 years old and the multiplayer pretty much dead. Kinda hard to talk your friends into getting it for that much. I'd highly recommend for like $20 bucks though
I usually don't like rts but this one managed keep me playing, mostly because of the setting but the gameplay is solid
The controls are clunky, outdated, and only some of them can be changed. The standard camera mode suffers from the "head in a box" feeling that most RTS games have, so you pretty much spend the entire time in the graphically unimpressive sensor view which allows you to zoom out and see things properly. The attack patterns of the units are so inarticulate that you can't realistically assign them to move in a specific formation or take up a defensive position, and the end result is that every fight is just your globs of guys mixing in with the enemy's globs of guys. The tactical pause in single player helps with this, but you can't rebind the pause key ('P') which is so far away from my usual hand position that I can't employ it as frequently as it needs to be done in order to actually control the units in an intelligent way. Multiplayer is basically dead. Wouldn't matter anyway as there are hardly any maps. It's too bad, the story seems cool and the production value is high, but none of it matters because the game is just frustrating to play.
Great game. Unfortunately, Gearbox is a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ headed by a cuck, so I can no longer support or play this amazing game. ♥♥♥♥ you Gearbox and ♥♥♥♥ you Pitchford
Любителям серии рекомендуется. Прошёл компанию уже дважды - нравится. Стилистика и геймплей прям как запомнилось с 1 и 2 частей. Будь у игры больше масштаба в плане карт и количества юнитов, то был бы ещё огромный потенциал в ПвП сражениях. Но не то, чтоб я и ПвП особо играю, если не с друзьями. 10 пустынь из 10.
point positif: ressemble à Command and Conquer point négatif: manque cruellement de cartes/MAPS
