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 2,402 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.

Pros: -Detailed 4X -Shipbuilding -Ship Salvaging -Ship Boarding -Piracy -Tax (evasion) -Automation -Well optimized -Affordable on sale -Will run on a potato. Cons: //Good luck getting this game to work. You need a DX 11 install from 2016 that doesn't work anymore. Assuming you can get that from old depreicated links in 10-15 year old posts from the Slytherin fourms, the remainder now relies on you to actually install and run the thing properly, which is an utter nightmare. I don't even remember how I did it, and this is the third computer I've got it working on. It's arcane knowledge. // -Poorly balanced gameplay mechanics. -Poorly balanced weapons. -Poorly explained mechanics. -More UI screens than a Paradox game. -Overtly complex and unexplained scaling formulas -Weak modability -Old game, no more updates, go play DWU2 if you want updates, and if you can afford it. This game is for people who like Hoi4, but want to experience Hoi4 in space. 9.5/10 Uncut Diamond of a game. Could've been better, but it is what it is.
Very buggy, basic, and boring. Classic triple B.

love this game and always come back to it too
This game would be so much better if it didn't require manually editing my screen resolution and disconnecting my second display every time I wanted to play it. It really needs to support resolution controls within the game. It was difficult enough to use that I didn't get far enough to report on the actual game play.
Now it doesnt work anymore. This game is unplayable. Even with the direct x setup. Dont buy it.
It´s the best version of the Distant World games. And the best thing about it - you can fly where ever you want. No stupid lanes or gates as most other 4x space games have.
Epic and addictive
Без русского, неудобный ui --> оч тяжело пытаться заставить себя заинтересоваться игрой.
Pra mim uma referência no gênero 4x. Pode pagar o preço inteiro q vale a pena.
I'll give it a borderline positive mainly because it has not aged well over the years compared to its competitors. 60/100
