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): 2.29/day in the week to Aug 22 → 3/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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
Old World is a historical strategy game where you lead your empire through multiple generations, building a grand legacy to last beyond your own years. This is an era of great leaders, from the revered to the feared. Which will you be?
Marry for politics, raise your heirs, and manage your relationship with the families of your kingdom. In the fast and furious world of kings and queens, family matters.
Each of the 7 kingdoms has four noble families that provide various benefits when put in charge of your cities.
Manage family ties through events, actions, and marriages to keep them happy and reap additional benefits. Upset them, or make them too powerful, and you risk their ire.
Maintain a strong family unit, or distract yourself with more illicit adventures.
The world is full of great characters with distinct personalities, strengths, and weaknesses. Use them to forge your kingdom, defend your borders, and build ties with other leaders.
Seek out and recruit famed warriors, philosophers, builders, and more. Have them tutor your children, lead your armies, and further your reign.
Different personality archetypes allow your court members to perform different tasks in similar roles. Find the right combinations to take full advantage of governors, diplomats, spymasters, and even your spouse.
Characters develop new personalities and traits over time, growing old, gaining experience, and finally falling ill and passing away, leaving room for the next generation.
Unsettled tribes, barbarian marauders, and remnants of previous cultures are all waiting in the vast unexplored wilderness.
Discover artifacts and great heroes of the past at ruins scattered across the map.
Experience over 3,000 unique events inspired by history and mythology.
Contact with foreign dignitaries triggers event chains, stories, and courtroom drama.
Pursue ambitions and legacies related to conquest, development, faith, and more.
Historically inspired scenarios, weekly challenge games, and a choice between randomly generated and handcrafted maps to explore. Lead Carthage to victory as Hannibal in the Punic Wars, hold your own against Barbarian Hordes, or compete against other players in tackling fictional scenarios.
Why do things the way they've always been done? Old World brings a new take to key elements of the 4X strategy genre:
Go beyond the traditional resources. Buildings are made of wood and stone, not "industry." Population doesn't grow off "food" alone.
Orders are a resource shared across your realm. Instead of moving every unit once per turn, each unit can be moved multiple times until fatigued or Orders are depleted.
Technological advancement is not predetermined. Randomization helps keep technology trees feeling fresh with each new playthrough.
Quality of life improvements, such as the ability to undo mistaken commands and nested tooltips, ensure you're always making informed decisions.
Play with friends in countless multiplayer modes — from hotseat, to asynchronous, to cloud play.
Experience a Grammy-nominated soundtrack blending Arabic music with contemporary influences.
Mods further open up infinite options for new worlds, empires, and dynasties — inspired by our real world, and by works of fiction as well.

Superb strategy game that gives you very interesting decisions thanks to the order mechanism. You just can't move every unit, use every worker etc. You need to decide and prioritize each turn what is best to do. Best AI of the genre! Opponents are smart and tough. A sprinkle of politics and character interaction as ice on cake. Can't recommend enough
A real evolution of the 4X genre. It somehow doesn't become a boring grind mid to late game like a certain other popular franchise. The constant juggling of international and domestic politics, particularly important here, is often either not present in other games of the type at all or diminished to such a minor role as to be little more than a nuisance. In this game, you need to constantly be aware of how you citizens and leaders are feeling as much as worry about diplomacy and army management. As everything affects everything else from how quickly things are built to the effectiveness of units. The way all of the systems constantly interact and reinforce one another is a breath of fresh air after playing so many games filled with ones essentially present together but divorced from one another. If your love 4X turn based games, or really enjoy games like Crusader Kings and want some of that depth without all of the complex systems, you could certainly do worse!

The best 4x game on the market - perfect blend of strategy and story telling with mechanics that are both intuitive and deep at the same time
Man kann es sich so leicht oder schwer machen, wie man möchte. Dabei ist es nicht gar nicht erforderlich, alle Feinheiten des Spiels erfasst zu haben, um zu gewinnen und Spaß mit den teils absurden Geschichten zu haben, die in Old World auf einen warten. Und immer noch wird am Spiel gebastelt, gebaut, nachjustiert, Neues geliefert - es wird nie langweilig. Und wenn doch, macht man halt mal eine zeitlang Pause - und wundert und freut sich dann beim Zurückkommen, wie sich das Spiel weiter entwickelt hat. Es macht auch ohne den zusätzlichen Content Spaß - aber die DLCs lohnen sich alle und bieten viel neue Variationen. Nicht alles gefällt jedem, aber es gibt viel Freiheit in den Einstellungen, sich das Spiel zurechtzulegen, dass man sich wünscht. Fazit: rundum empfehlenswert!
Its worth $5 or less. It will give you at least around 15 hours of fun. The game has promise but its needs more time in the oven. But the biggest issue is how slow it runs during mid to late game. I played a game with standard settings and after 75 or so turns the game had noticeable response time issues. After about 100 to 120 turn it was so bad that I would have to wait minuets between giving orders because the game's logic would just freeze. All in all, some good ideas, mid execution, terrible optimization.
I like the design of specific game elements. Such as being able to choose your civ after starting, and tech progression partially being random. But I was supper bummed when the game started for the first time and there was no cutscene or intro. I really look forward to enjoying a games intro when playing for the first time & not having that, really set the mood for expectations. I really disliked the lack of polish that was present in basically every aspect of the game tbh. Moving a character from point A to B should not give you a headache (like it did), it should be enjoyable or at the very least, not boring to watch 1,000 times. The User interface is constantly full of needless clutter, with only about 5% of the actual interface displaying relevant information. Even getting this game on 90% discount, I will never play this crap
Love this take on the 4X genre; the events are a nice gentle nudge to get some narrative shake up in the solid gameplay formula. The order system helps keep a lid on the escalating complexity. Some slowdown for my system in late game (but not really worse than competitors)
Honestly my Favorite 4x game ever and I've played a lot of them. its the perfect light blend of the rulers like in Crusader kings and the 4x strategy of civ. its not as deep into either but it works well and thanks to the random events for your ruler it has a lot more interesting replayablility
首发就入的，当时一堆bug，动不动就卡死/报错/闪退，直接卸载等更新修复。 现在玩依然卡死/报错/闪退，一局游戏没玩两个小时，就退出了4次。
