The value story
It has been discounted 9 times in the 2 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 10 percent, about 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 88 percent. The nearest things to it, NEBULOUS: Fleet Command ($14.99, scores 40) and SuperPower 3 ($29.99, scores 0), are both worse buys on this math.

What players say
The bones are solid, yet I haven't seen a skeleton winning a beauty pageant. Its surprisingly fleshed out for what's basically an alpha and I really look forward to have this one turns out, but for now its just too soon.

Great little indie 4x, the setting is really interesting and the gameplay is fun. The scale is really neat being somewhere between Europa Universalis and Stellaris.
A surprisingly deep and addictive game. Still feels like an unpolished gem. Definitely rough around the edges and some systems could use more work, but even in its current state it's really interesting to play. I'd love to see more star systems (if they will be added, of course), as well as more depth in the political systems. Keep up the good work.
