The value story

The lowest price on record is $9.89, set in December 2018. 3 discounts in the 12 years on record. They run about 34 percent off, roughly 22 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 5 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Rebel Galaxy ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats StarMade ($14.99, scores 15).

Of the 203 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 186 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

Close to 13 years we've waited for "Daggerfall in space" with no content updates since 2023 (which were few and far between anyway)

Development is at a snails pace and Im convinced its just so steam doesnt hit it with the "No update in a while" warning. There is literally no reason why this games updates are so slow and minimal. The flying is cool but there is nothing to do but that. Combat sucks.
McMunchiesNot recommendedafter 9.7hApr 2026early accessRead on Steam
I first discovered this game around 2015 after NerdCubed did his video on it, and I've never really put it down since. It was the first game installed on my new gaming laptop, and because it takes up so little disc space I keep it installed all the time so I can boot it up whenever. Rodina is my favourite space game, and one of my favourite games ever. Despite it's tiny disc size, and small scope compared to most...
