Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
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 3 → 0/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.

This game shouldn't exist.
A true classic!
This game would have been a complete failure without the previous Star Control 2. It massively capitalises and copy&pastes from his predecessor. It is bugged heavily and you can get stuck very easy. The only solution is a complete restart with no guarantee that you wont get stuck again because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ scribted time dependant events. The colony building system doesn't work either, the new colonies don't produce anything at all even if you haul 100ks of RUs to them and build them up completely. Summary is this game should have never been released in this state at all and the bugs should have been fixed many years ago. It is just a waste of time and money. DON'T BUY THIS CRAP! Go play SC2 ot SC: Origins instead.

9 year old me was so proud I figured this game out and beat it. It was one of the first PC games I played. I haven't tried the others Star Control games but I will! This one is a banger.
OD'd on Benadryl and watched the Muppets until I fainted. It was only when I regained consciousness that I realized I was lucid the entire time and was just playing Star Control III
Been playing this since I was in 10th grade! Great game, yes I know that the die hard SCII crowd has some problems with it. But the game in its format has a cool sense of wonder and exploration to it that I have rarely found in any other series. Also the trippy video scenes still tickle me, and look good even compared to more modern games. This game truly gives you the experience of being "in the cartoon" if that makes any sense.
Nostalgia central. Love this game.
OMG i am so happy that this game is available here on steam! this was one of the very first games i ever played on a computer, and THE very first game that got me completely sucked into. i know many ppl out there think that only the previous games are good etc, but really - this is a enjoyable game! such nice characters, voice acting and a great story! it is a very old game, and up to no recent standards, but if you keep the time in mind this gem was created, you can probably have a great time with it! i am looking forward till it is installed and then i am up to finally meet some old friends of mine again ^^ THANK YOU STEAM!! (ok, now i find out that you need to actually play the game for 5 minutes to write a review... makes totally sense, but steam, if you only knew, that i have dozens and dozens of hours playtime in this game... ^^)
Pretty much the best release of StarControl, hands down, in my opinion. Exploration, conflict, hillarious situations, and of course, the UrQuan back again to make problems!
Unplayable, doesn't run well at all
