The value story

83 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Supreme Commander 2 ($12.99, scores 75) and Supreme Commander ($12.99, scores 79).

$25.85 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $12.99.

Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
For context

Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

Great classic game, best RTS ever made. Unfortunatley buggy. Community maintains whatever patches can be done for a healthy multiplayer community with FAF

About the game

The last days of man are at hand.. Two years after the Infinite War the once great warring nations now lie in ruins, and humanity’s hope for a brighter future is nothing but a bitter memory. A new, seemingly unstoppable enemy, supported by the zealots of The Order, now seeks to eradicate mankind: UEF, Aeon Loyalist, and Cybran alike.
