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 22 → 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.

EAT ELECTRIC DEATH!!!!! This game certainly isn't for everyone (especially if you have epilepsy, lol) but as someone who's a huge fan of Tempest and has played dozens of hours of Tempest 2000, I can assure you most of the negative reviews here are either 40-year-old men who were expecting a remake of the original arcade version, or reviews made in 2018 on launch day. This game is amazing. I bought it yesterday and have already gotten to level 35. Achievement hunting in this game is fun, and both gamemodes are fun as well. The only issue I have is the fact that, when first setting up the game, it's super buggy. But if you can get past that, this game is the best Llamasoft game and one of the best in the Tempest series.
I was initially frustrated with the difficulty in getting my arcade control panel working with this game, but thanks to a post somewhere in these reviews with a fix for spinner control and some trial and error with the keyboard configuration, I now have it working very well. The graphics are great! Real eye candy! The Ultimarc Spintrak spinner I use is working great, just like the original Tempest I play in MAME and the super zapper and Fire buttons are now working as they should. I use an IPAC 2 interface for my control panel. I’ve never played the T2K version of this, so I can’t compare the two as others have in these reviews.. (I was mostly into Ambrosia MAC games and Macmame at that time). Now i’m running games from both Mac and PC and I’m discovering all these cool PC games! I’ll have to look up that game Polybius but someone else mentioned.

O controle é horrível, a Garra fica derrapando o tempo todo. Os gráficos são confusos demais e na zona toda é difícil pegar os power-ups, quase invisíveis. Se desinstalar o jogo os scores não serão salvos. Não há motivo para jogar isso com Tempest 2000 disponível.
One of my favorite re-imagined classics.
no idea what is happening but colours!
It's Tempest with a new gen coat of paint. What else needs to be said? If you've played the arcade original or later versions on the Atari Jaguar or PlayStation/Sega Saturn/PC, it's very much more of the same type of tube shooter with new shinies. Still fun, still the best at what it is. The new music is interesting, IF you know how to get AT it, because it's hidden on the level select screen (Press Y at level select. Dumb to not SHOW that.) Still undecided if I like the new tunes or not, but it's nice to have some new tunes to blast to. I'd give it a solid 8/10. New, shiny, but really still more of the Tempest you know and love.
Kind of like a more annoying version of Tempest 2000. Tempest 2000 is a great game at its core though, so if you can't play that, play this.
wish there was a middle of the line rating... would work well with controller, but not so good on keyboard (especially bc all the gui is controller based) but its fun, but wouldn't buy without controller. 5/10 Edit: i bought a controller now And im addicted!! such a good game, but only buy with controller, if you dont have one buy it on xbox switch ps5 or smth :) 9.5/10
This is basically the same fun and challenging game that I enjoyed, Tempest 2000 for the Atari Jaguar, except I can play it still.
Оригинальный TxK вышедший эксклюзивно на PS Vita был лучше. Эта игра тоже ничего, но TxK был лучше
