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 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

This is number one bullsh!t. Let's not talk about gameplay, and everything else that might be positive about this game. My save, which was fairly progressed, got deleted and replaced by an entirely different one, where I wasn't as far progressed and had ships I never posessed before.
Как игра в лучшем случае середняк. Простейшая пошаговая тактика, с которой всё становится понятно к 3-5 миссии. Не привязанные ни к чему, и ни на что не влияющие случайные события. Побочные миссии (bounty) однообразны и нужны только для прокачки. Какой-то интерес из них представляют только миссии на получение "уникальных" кораблей (и ачивок за них). НО для меня всё вытягивает сюжет (хотя ещё не доиграл)). Он не притязательный, к тому же поначалу вообще кажется, что сцены/диалоги сюжетных миссий - это вставки из дейтсима, а герои отправились в далёкий космос прямиком с Беверли-хиллз. Однако постепенно затягивает, и каждая следующая сюжетная миссия это словно глава или серия из космоприключения а-ля Андромеда, Фарскейп, Светлячок, Хонор Харрингтон, Барраяр, Экспансия и т.п. Туториал кстати можно считать пилотной серией )) ОДНАКО, для полноты восприятия стоит играть сразу три кампании одновременно (за Федерацию и Альянс тут, и за пиратов в AF Steel Shadows). И при этом ещё следить за неявным, но существующем внутренним таймлайном. Т.е. условная 15 миссия за федов по нему может быть позже условной 10 миссии за Альянс. Учитывая, что Steel Shadows по геймплею абсолютно тоже самое, и общее однообразие процесса - это требует некоторых усилий. ИТОГО. Зайдёт не всем. И полного ценника конечно не стоит, не уверен, что стоит даже 50% скидки. Но при большей (мне обе части в сумме обошлись во что-то около 160 руб) любителям жанра можно погонять.

Estoy a mitad de la primera campaña, comprado en rebaja con los dos dlcs gratuitos, y debo decir que ha sido una buena compra. Gráficos decentes, historia bien argumentada (aunque las conversaciones, bueno...) y buena jugabilidad, ningún bug por el momento. Las naves tienen equipo y tripulación personalizables, y niveles de experiencia, por lo que les puede coger cierto apego. La única gran pega que le puedo achacar es que no puedes guardar partida en medio de las misiones, solo cuando vuelves a la pantalla de flota, pero te acostumbras rápido. Sinceramente, precio/calidad +los dos dlc gratuitos, compra segura y con muchas horas de juego por delante.
Pretty sure I got this on a deep discount. Even then, not worth it. If you want an idea of how fun the game play is, pick a screenshot and stare at if for several hours. Voice acting is horrific, worst I've heard in any game. It's like they took kids off the street, handed them a script and they just read from it. Every aspect of the game is beyond bland. That's coming from someone that loves sci-fi and loves tactic games like this genre.
In the void of games like this - turn-based space fleet battles without 4X faff - Ancient Frontier is a solid position. Yes, there is room for improvement but the game still delivers so giving it thumbs down only on that basis is a bit unfair.
Thank you for playing your game ! How I won in epic ? I make two teams, one to collect(4-6 scouts+Pandora) in bounty missions, an other to fight( 6-12 heavy cruisers+Heroes) in story missions.
I only play several hours and currently i think the game is fun, its tactical game but instead of land unit you got spaceship. You can get equipment, crew, new ship. Overall its a fun game, if you a fan of scifi games this one is definitely worth checking out.
It is a very good Game.
Das Spiel ist ganz nett. Hab's für 5€ geschossen, da kann man nichts falsch machen. Wer hier allerdings taktische Tiefe wie bei Homeworld oder Starwolfs erwartet wird enttäuscht sein. Alle Missionen spielen auf einer sehr begrenzten 2D Karte. Das Spielfeld ist also flach und im Durchschnitt nur so um die 50x50 Hexes groß, die Videos täuschen hier. Story ist ganz nett aber nichts was mich vom Hocker hauen würde. Man kann die Schiffe aufrüsten und mit Mannschaften bestücken, das wars dann auch schon. Die Bedienung ist einfach, das Interface wirkt etwas altbacken. Alles in allem nette kleine Rundenstrategie im Weltraum.
Decent tactical space game with interesting pieces. Completely destroyed by bad UI elements and an overuse of shiny space things. People subject to seizures and eyestrain beware. Steam really needs a third thumb for "Meh"
