Latest Steam announcements

  • Quick Fix - 1 April 2022

    -fixed desert hostage mission not loading -some performance fixes -fixed duplicate items in stores -fixed issues with pausing and UI -possibly some fixes to issues where units/research disappear or aren't persistent Regarding the last one, I still haven't been able to track down what causes this because I just can't seem to replicate this bug, but many people have reported this bug so I've taken a few guesses at what might be causing it. I'm not too confident the changes I made fixed it (though it might have), but in any case, I've put some error statements in various parts of the code so that it's easier for me to find out where the problem is. However, since I can't replicate this bug, it would be helpful if any of you guys who encounter this bug could send me the player.log, or just exit the game immediately once that bug happens and just tell me what the last few lines say. Where is…

  • -minor fix - 28 February 2022

    -fixed resolution issue where certain resolutions and refresh rates don't save (is now a dropdown menu instead of a selector) -added delete button on importing characters -added small repeatable hostage mission

  • Small note from developer - 16 February 2022

    I've been pretty quiet lately, so I just meant to be sort of a notification so that if anyone still follows this game, they can know what's going on and whether the game is dead or not. SO bug fixes are always a priority, they've seemed to lessen recently so I haven't been doing as many bug fixes now but a few still pop up here and there so if you find any, lemme know and I'll still be working to fix those bugs. In terms of further development, I've taken a look at the game as a whole, and I found that the whole campaign mission thing was not as fun as I wanted it to be, and often got in the way of just simply doing the mission stuff. I thought about maybe improving it, but because my resources are limited and things take a long time for be to develop, it might not be the best use of my time to essentially try to make a better grand strategy game within a game that's clearly focused on…

  • Tiny Hotfix - 9 February 2022

    -fixed issue on some maps where not all enemies spawn, preventing mission completion.

  • Minor updates - 6 February 2022

    Fixed some small Issues -fixed some ai behavior so some will investigate noises -fixed pause screen toggle on campaign scene -added spetsnaz mission -added foundations for other things (currently no effect on the game)

    Accidentally left cheatmode on in one of the updates.

  • Hotfix - 18 January 2022

    -fixed error with waypoint rework

  • Update Notes - 17 January 2022

    -Fixed SAS mission so it properly unlocks. You should be able to trigger it again, and get it to properly complete after doing the mission. -Modified pathfinding markers to improve performance -fixed error in menu when having no troops at all -Added Spanish Special Forces, Army Rangers

  • Bugfix - 17 January 2022

    - Fixed some building variants allowing you to walk through walls - Changed the Special Forces mission to improve performance and hopefully prevent crashing (not 100% sure whether this caused the crashing, but seemed likely)

    -Fixed problem where mission doesn't end

  • hotfix - 16 January 2022

    ok NOW they should spawn friendly soldiers

  • Fix to settlement control missions - 16 January 2022

Short description

SPECWAR Tactics is a simple game that lets you build up your ideal special operations team and command them in battle. Manage your facilities and troop roster, and lead them on missions, utilizing stealth, fire and maneuver, and CQB to overcome greater numbers with superior tactics.

About this game

A friendly state at a geographically significant point in the world has fallen into chaos, with terrorists and insurgents taking advantage of the confusion to take cities for their own and destabilize the region. Take command of a NATO special operations force to provide assistance and help the country take its territories back and restore stability to the region. SPECWAR Tactics is a simple game that lets you build up your ideal special operations team and send them off on operations, utilizing stealth, CQB tactics, and fire and maneuver to overcome numbers. Features: Use both the simple and advanced movement and command systems that let you maneuver your soldiers just the way you want. Customize your soldiers, utilizing multiple different spec ops units with their own specialties, to create your perfect special operations team. Manage your soldiers' trainings and upgrade your facilities, steadily improving your means to upgrade and improve your fighting force. Utilize stealth, flanking, and suppression that allow you to overcome greater numbers through superior tactics Fight on missions that feature both open environments that require infantry tactics to get past, as well as more condensed interior environments for CQB action. Note: Though I didn't set it as early access, I do intend to continue to fix/improve the game and add some more content after release. If you try my game and you encounter some issues, bugs, or just had some thoughts and feedback, feel free to pop in the discord and let me know! Thanks

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $9.99
  • Highest observed: $9.99

SPECWAR Tactics's USD price history spans from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 6, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $9.99, the highest is $9.99, and the first visible tracked price is $9.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

SPECWAR Tactics's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99, from Oct 6, 2026 through Oct 6, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $9.99. The latest run records $9.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $9.99
  • Current list price: $9.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records SPECWAR Tactics at $9.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
