    Fixed crash issue on game load when Chinese language is selected.

  • Custom DRM removed. - 19 August 2022

    We have removed our custom activation-based DRM. Forget about activation codes - you no longer need them. And it doesn't depend on the game server anymore. All the game features are available from start. In addition, the game has been improved to work correctly on high DPI screens (like 4K monitors) in full screen mode. P.S. This update applies to the latest version of the game: Gathering of Power. Old versions are not modified.

  • New languages: Portuguese (Brazil) and Simplified Chinese - 12 February 2021

    The game is now available in Portuguese (Brazil) language: many thanks to Úillis Rafael who made this translation patch. Older Simplified Chinese translation is also made available for Steam users. Both language patches are made for the latest "Spectromancer: Gathering of Power" edition, so "Gathering of Power" DLC is required.

  • Astral Towers released on Steam for the first time - 2 October 2020

    Astral Towers is a card game with "one turn - one action" mechanic - like Spectromancer. But this is mostly an adventure game: there are 89 missions at 2 difficulty levels. The original game was made in 2011. It was English-only and designed for 1366x768 screen resolution, so it doesn't look great in full screen. Now the remastered edition has improved graphics designed for up to 4K screen resolution. Other changes: Improved UI and visualization. Full support for Russian language. Improved campaign balance based on actual stats. Steam achievements. No DRM, no any activations! I hope you'll like it and post a review! :-) Game page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/983450/Astral_Towers/

  • The game engine is made open source - 29 March 2020

    The game engine behind Spectromancer and Astral Heroes games is made open source and published at GitHub: https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusGameEngine I've also published source code of some demo projects including Astral Heroes website, game backup/analytics tool, game auto-updater. They're available at the GitHub too: https://github.com/Cooler2/ApusEngineExamples This became possible because of support I've got at Patreon. Now we're very close to the second goal: the source code of the Astral Heroes game server will be published. You're welcome to support this development - just become a patron to make this happen: https://www.patreon.com/ApusGameEngine

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 9, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $6.99
  • Highest observed: $6.99

Spectromancer's USD price history spans from Oct 9, 2026 to Oct 9, 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 $6.99, the highest is $6.99, and the first visible tracked price is $6.99. 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

Spectromancer'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 $6.99, from Oct 9, 2026 through Oct 9, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $6.99. The latest run records $6.99 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: $6.99
  • Current list price: $6.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Spectromancer at $6.99 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.
