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.

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

A new chapter in the world of Ancient Frontier!
Steel Shadows is a standalone RPG set in the epic universe of Ancient Frontier. You do NOT need to own or have played Ancient Frontier to enjoy this content.

But the overpowering Federation still controls most of the Frontier, and the new and budding Alliance is no fan of outlaws. Hated and feared, the pirate life is one of constant danger. Friends and allies are hard to find and harder still to keep. Beset on all sides can Rogan find fame and fortune with his fledgling pirate fleet?

Reviews
Too grindy and not immersive enough.
Enjoyable game with an entertaining storyline. Pretty in depth for an indie studio.
Run time errors crash game even with all current updates.

One of the few hex-based tactical space wargames out there, And it´s quite good. TBH, I consider it excellent. A mature story (no, I won´t spoil anything here), good AI, very interesting (at least for me) world building. I would like to see a part 2 or at least an DLC. Only thing I miss is an endless mode after ending the (approx. 60-70 hours with side missions) main campaign.
Basically a solid game where a lot of mistakes were made during the development phase. Bugs and the bad game quality are really annoying. Much has already been mentioned by other players. It is far away to be a good tactical game. You have the feeling that from a certain point the developers themselves had no desire to finish the game. Potential lost....

Пошаговая космическая стратегия, если честно, то скучная очень, скорее всего это из-за отсутствия перевода. Однотипность миссий, однотипность кораблей, слабый сюжет, игра настроена на многочисленные однотипные битвы для постепенного прохождения и прокачки.
