Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
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): 11/day in the week to Aug 14 → 18.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

战棋的巅峰
This is one of the greatest games I've ever played, and is certainly my favorite of its genre, especially with the War of the Chosen DLC. It is not perfect, and you will feel the pain of rookies standing inside enemies with a 20% chance to hit, as well as veterans missing their 98% shots. But, if you can learn to accept these and plan better around them, the game is an absolute blast. Mechanically the game is quite sound, with nearly no crashes or glitches of any kind and an interface that, with a couple of exceptions, does exactly what you expect. This means you can plan out your actions with a high degree of certainty: It shows you the exact path soldiers will take in movement, warning of hazards; It allows previewing which revealed enemies can be seen from a location before you move there; It gives you hit chance while targeting, so you can make informed targeting decisions; It tells you where cover is around movement spaces; It shows you exact arc and blast radius for explosives, so you don't have to hope it doesn't prematurely hit a wall and explode in your face (looking at you, Phoenix Point). These are all just wonderful controls for making informed decisions at every step. The only time I've ever had trouble is when I wanted to move next to a targetable with a cloaked Ranger (the targetable was a structure, so it wouldn't reveal), and the camera angle meant my Ranger did an attack at the end, rather than just a move, removing the cloak. But issues like that are few and far between. Overall I highly recommend this game if you enjoy tactical strategy games. It makes every other tactical strategy game feel a little bit worse, to be honest, because it really has come close to perfecting the genre.
An almost impecable example of what the tactical genre is really about.
