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/day in the week to Aug 20 → 0.43/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 2,402 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

Lord of Rigel is a grand space strategy adventure, guide your people through a galaxy in turmoil. Form coalitions to survive the coming war, or discover the secrets of ascension that the elder races fear. Your race will have many obstacles to overcome if they are to survive.
Inspired by classic 4x games and 90s science fiction, Lord of Rigel focuses on reducing late game micromanagement with its colony focus system and other automation tools. Or you can choose to get your hands dirty in real time tactical combat.

Face rival species, including the elder races who view themselves as the rightful guardians of the galaxy. Fend off grand menaces as they attempt to disrupt and direct progress, and gain prestige by defending the galaxy against those who would destroy it.


Shape galactic politics by negotiating trade treaties and alliances. Each species has unique leaders with personalities and cultural traditions that direct their choices. Guide or exploit weaker civilizations to become assets or weapons.


Run a shadow empire and benefit from your spy network through sabotaging fleets, bombing infrastructure, stealing technology, creating the “right” political climate by inciting rebellions.


Design starships and engage in pausable real time tactical combat. From small frigates to planet-killing behemoths, you can upgrade your vessels with beams, fighters, missiles, and more. Use combinations of special systems and weapons to defeat your enemies.

Play as one of 10 available species, each with unique characteristics and behaviors. Use diplomacy, espionage, real time ship combat, and research to define a path for your civilization or join one of the elder races as they fight for control.

Понравилось. Не смотря на то что интерфейс кривоватый и имеется пролаг/загрузка во время смены окна галактики и системы.
The game is great. It is a lot like Master of Orion. I give two thumbs up.
Best master of orion clone I have ever seen.

Game is a lot of fun. Watch out picking a large galaxy, because, even with pretty decent recent processor and video, it slows down to a snails pace. But the game is fun, tech tree is fun and fairly realistic for a Sci Fi Game. Thanks to developers for developing and working on this game, even adding new features now! You do not see that a lot.
Very amateurish. Graphics should be better than MOO2 and their not. Game gets boring quick. If you are looking for a MOO2 clone, interstellar Space: Genesis is better.
If you are a fan of sci-fi 4X games. This is one to play.
Orion like game/ old style
Die Performance im Kampf ist schrecklich! Trotz High End System, auch mit niedrigen Einstellungen... Schade
Yes, as someone said, this is Master of Orion 2.5. I recommend it with some reservations. I don't like the way it saves games, too much information; all I'd like it s simple line with my own description of what's going on. Upgrading ships is a chore, not that easy, and it doesn't always work. Designing ships is OK, but it's hard to save a newly designed ship, and worst of all, the new ship does no appear on your build list. Also ship types sometimes drop off your possible build list. In that regard, I wish there was a way to delete ship types on my own (ships I consider obsolete). Combat is not that well handled, you can't click on an enemy ship and learn what it is. What I dislike most is the inability to use missiles or other weapons when attacking a colony; it's bomb only. That does not make sense. On the good side, I like the way you can modify your chosen race in the set-up. And i like the way it let's you know what's going on at the beginning of a turn. The game plays well on my old Win10 computer. Not a bad game at all, with these few reservations.
I wish there was a report bug issue or something but there are a lot of issue with the game right now but it shows good promise first if i re click my flight a redirect the fleet somewhere it disappears from the main screen. the robots seem to never expand from there one star system is that normal? also if i am getting a research treaty why do i have to click out of the diplo screen and go back to trade tech? also why can i only see part of what the computer's empire is (maybe its a feature but if it is why is there no spy option for that? why do the game developer not let me the user decide how many AI's i want to go against based of the size of the galaxy. sometimes my ships disappear and i have no idea why but if i reload they magically come back and when i mean disappear i mean dead. i also have no idea what the point of the rigel or there mortal enemy have to do in the game expect make more trade and research for myself. i do like the game but please fix some of the things i have written ORRRRR make a report bugs button.
