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 2,400 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

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.

This is Master of Orion 2, just coded up for newer versions of Windows. The images of the aliens and the ships have been upgraded, and there is now three dimensional camera views of the planets in your system, but it really isn't that different that MOO2. Which is a good thing.
While I really like this type of games, Lord of Riegel does not really bring anything new to the table. I don't mind real-time battles, but this are just dull. In general PC players were very passive, except for building new colonies, not much going on. Also had the feeling that all events only impacted me, at least I never saw news about anything going on in another empire. Mostly I got annoyed by the slow display of planet screens though, and my PC fan was also quite active during those times, no idea what for. Cannot be because of graphics... After finishing one map, don't plan to play again.

I rarely say anything about a game, but this game is a copy of Master of orion 2. I feel like it's an exact copy, it's the same technology, the same text, the same, the same. But the graphics are just worse, they're boring and uninspiring. There are better copies out there. You should rather buy those or the original.
Year anniversary made me reinstall to see if anything was changed... nope, nothing has. Still buggy and barely playable. Just do yourself a favor and find an emulator and play MOO2.
