About the game
Horizon is a turn-based space strategy game of galactic exploration and conquest in which you are in control of humanity’s destiny. You will explore deep space, find new frontiers and discover alien artifacts hidden on long-abandoned planets.
Minimum specs
Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, 512 MB Video Card w/Pixel Shader 3.0 Support, 10 GB of storage. Windows only.
The value story
Across all 143 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $5.99 at 80 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. On the same math Breachway ($9.99, scores 42) and Galactic Civilizations IV ($39.99, scores 21) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
The drop-off
79% start to <1% rarestNo achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

in my opinion this is underrated. I had a lot of fun turn based space combat and 4x gameplay
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Really enjoyed it some years ago, will give it a try again now as the developer is still activ on this. Very underrated!
Its the same problem as alot of games with tons of choices you can only choose 1 or 2 relevant paths or you get wiped out so the rest are pointless to put in the game.
