The value story
The value story
The lowest price on record is $4.79, set in June 2019. It has been discounted 20 times in the 12 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 67 percent, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 77 percent. On the same math Halo Wars: Definitive Edition ($19.99, scores 85) and Planetary Annihilation: TITANS ($29.99, scores 63) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
An absolute hidden gem of the RTS genre! I have played through the entire game and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The faction design is pure genius-every single faction is incredibly unique and well-balanced. The campaign is highly engaging with top-notch cinematics. Thank you, Petroglyph, for pouring your hearts into this masterpiece. You have my ultimate respect!

Such a GREAT GAME. Mixed review is BS. Damn shame it didn't get more traction. Wish there would be a follow up 2. Same concept and everything. Could have been an sc2 type predecessor sigh. If anyone wants to play ping me.
Can't play with dual screens unless you want both your monitors to power cycle for 30 seconds every time you minimize
