  • Change Log for April - 5 May 2015

    Hey guys! In April we had several updates, patches and tewaks. A lot of them have been behind the scenes for the engine and the AI, but we also have some significant game changes that affect you directly http://abload.de/img/new-features0tkv1.png Unit Upgrades Some units now can be upgraded for a MK2, MK3 or even a MK4 tier. There are different way to do so. Some just need new weapons or technology researched thers need to be build several time to trigger an improvement or you find some strange tech by accident - or you have to advance the overall tech tier. We decided to use the common colours for the quality of the units you might know from many MMOs.

Short description

SciFi RTS Space Combat game with a HUGE focus on the storyline in an open world (galaxy) gameplay mode. 4 different career paths, chosen by your actions during the story, force you to rethink your tactics and develop new strategies.

About this game

In Vol'Talkes, you play in the role of Captain Ben Kincaid, a Commander of the Allied Defense Force, a military organisation that was founded to protect mankind from alien attacks. With the development of so called CAIs (crystaline artificial intelligences) mankind discoveres the opporturnity to embed the personality of a human in a crystaline device and thus empower it with almost infinite computing power. Unfortunatly these CAIs are not accepted as equal individuals by the human race and so, after years of oppression by their creators, they start to rebel against them and a war begins, that will define the future of mankind in the universe. But the story is not carved in stone. On your journey with Captain Kincaid you are forced to make decisions, which will often push you in a conflict between moral and obedience and most of the time there is no real black and white, but various shades of grey. Thereby the story evolves in different directions and the type of available units and possible partners for alliances will change dramatically. Gameplay Features • more than 40 different units • hardpoint-based strike options guarantee deep tactical gameplay • no simple paper-scissor-stone mechanics • intense and long battles with hundrets of units under your command • plan your attacks in a huge galactic scale on long term objectives • 2 different game layers in real time - a strategic galaxy map and tactical battle enviroments • 5 different fractions • 2 playable fractions Singleplayer Features • singleplayer campaign with 60-80 hours of gameplay • player decisions have an huge impact on story development and unlock different units and allies • many different side missions, that want to be found and mastered • different strategic and tactical options guarantee gameplay rich in variety • tactical use of Power-Ups • long lasting support after launch with new maps, missions and units Multiplayer Features • Units unlock after progress in singleplayer campaign • Unlock of powerful hero units • 2 playable fractions • different tech-trees • hardcore hero units (they die once, they're gone) • tactical buffs and debuffs • buff crafting system • huge shipyards develop new…

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: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $29.99
  • Highest observed: $29.99

Vol'Talkes - The AI War's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 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 $29.99, the highest is $29.99, and the first visible tracked price is $29.99. 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

Vol'Talkes - The AI War'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 $29.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $29.99. The latest run records $29.99 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: $29.99
  • Current list price: $29.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Vol'Talkes - The AI War at $29.99 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.
