Latest Steam announcements

  • Support for the Linux and SteamOS - 6 October 2024

    We have added a build of the game for Linux and SteamOS. We do not officially support Linux system due to the multitude of distributions, but now players have the option to use this system if they want to play the game.

  • Backport improvements and fixes to our RTS engine. - 30 May 2024

    While working on another project that shares the infrastructure and engine used in Rings of Powder, we noticed that after the last unit was removed from the queue, the progress bar continued to work. This has been corrected. Thank you for all your support and trust.

  • Backport for the game engine with solutions from our latest project - 23 April 2024

    1.) Backport for the game engine with solutions from our latest project "Myths and Legends". ( upgraded units and creatures spawning ) 2.) Several optimizations. Thank you for being with us and for all your trust.

  • Minor fix for one of the Steam badges - 4 April 2024

    Small fix for the "Advanced Mining" badge. Thank you for your trust and have fun!

  • Wide screen aspect support - 12 January 2024

  • Fix for different screen resolutions. - 8 January 2024

    Now the game correctly supports resolution aspects such as: 16:9 (recommended), 16:10 (recommended), 4:3 The game does not properly support widescreen (21:9) or ultra wide screen resolutions, but after this patch it is possible to play the game on these monitors, although the problem will be 2D scenes such as the map, technology selection, or custom game menus that were designed for standard size monitors. This is an important lesson for us, we will take it into account in future productions to support widescreen mode.

  • Corrections for the CS translator. - 28 December 2023

    - Some fixes for the Simplified Chinese translator for DLC content. - Fix for the translator module.

  • Small but important fix for the core game and the expansion. - 22 December 2023

  • DLC Including Build - 21 December 2023

    - Includes new DLC - "The Weird World of the Elves". - Improved selectors for dragons and several other units. - Trollhunters can also be recruited in the training hall (after building the trollhunters guild). - Some additional fixes and 2 new backgrounds while loading. - Copy protection - the game can only be launched with an active Steam client. - "WASD" keys can now be used for navigation.

  • Tadadam - Steam announces the right to nominate the game! - 21 November 2023

    Steam announces the right to nominate the game! (You have the right to remain silent because anything you say can be used against you!) Why not try to nominate this game? ( for the best soundtrack ) If anyone wants, anyone must or needs to nominate this strange title for some nomination, we would be deeply, solemnly and extremely grateful.

  • Build preceding the DLC. - 15 November 2023

    - Fixes for tutorial sequences. Previously completed tasks are excluded from the list. - More transparent level objectives. (UI improvements) - Developing and simplifying the project architecture. - New special effect displayed upon victory.

    - Smuggler's dens can also be built in goblin camps. - A spider nest may appear as an additional location after exploring an undiscovered area. - Fix for newly added achievements/badges. Increasing the game's replayability and the ability to play it in many ways is something that is important to us. Thank you very much for every product purchase. This helps us develop it and do a better job producing the DLC.

  • Added small character conversations plus some improvements. - 6 November 2023

    - Gladamreal, Candalf and Rondel sometimes talk to each other. ( implemented a simple entity conversation module ) - The volume of music and sounds set during the game is saved and loaded correctly for the entire application.

  • Simple Tutorial and Content Extension. - 1 November 2023

    - Added a simple tutorial to the first two missions of the campaign. ( There are many ways to play this game and we don't want to tell players how to play it, but the tutorial includes one way to complete the first two missions ). - Added spider's nest and giant spiders. (they may appear on larger levels of dungeons) - A smugglers' cave has been added (building available in 2 discoverable locations). We leave what they smuggle to the players' imagination. (inspired by one of the comments from a player who expected a game about smuggling illegal substances in Middle-earth). - Added missing translations and missing descriptions. The next update of the game is planned for next month, together with the expansion. We will try to expand the tutorial further and polish the game a bit. Thanks for your purchase and trust. Thanks to your support, we can develop this product.

  • Added dungeon environment selection to enable lower game difficulty. - 30 October 2023

    Our Elvish data center has reported to us that the game's difficulty level is too high for some players. To this end, the necessary updates to the palantirs have been made. Now, by choosing a "Relaxing" ( most easy ) or "Calm" dungeon environment, our mages will ensure that the dark pit monsters appear less often and do not cause as much chaos in the underground kingdoms of our players.

  • Quick patch to make game more easy - 28 October 2023

    Dwarf Lords - Rare Metals requirement reduced from 30 to 20. Elven Archers - Wood requirement reduced from 40 to 30. All Archers - attack range a little bit increased. + More ballanced game requirements / objectives for the custom game.

Short description

"The Rings of Powder" is a fun and ironizing game combining exploration with the construction of an underground kingdom and elements of real -time strategy and idle. The project is an irony of both some legendary and less legendary movies and scenes from reality.

About this game

"The Rings of Powder" is a fun and ironizing game combining exploration with the construction of an underground kingdom and elements of real-time strategy and idle. Each level in the game is procedurally generated, which makes the gameplay replayable. The game was implemented in a polygonal style so that despite the wealth of content it works smoothly on almost all computers and laptops. The project is an irony of both some legendary and less legendary movies and scenes from reality. The game was inspired by a certain series that distorts characters from Tolkien's world, but not enough to be a good parody. We say openly that our product does not have much in common with the world of Tolkien, and the similarity of the figures is purely accidental. We do what some movies and series do, only more... Our characters, however possibly associated with these worlds, are completely different characters. Gladamreal - because someone acting so irrational could not be real. Candalf - A wizard who can. And the "wise" elf Rondel. The Game Is Meant to Be Warm, Funny and Ironic. A relaxing real-time strategy with plenty of humor.

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 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $12.99
  • Highest observed: $12.99

The Rings of Powder's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 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 $12.99, the highest is $12.99, and the first visible tracked price is $12.99. 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

The Rings of Powder'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 $12.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $12.99. The latest run records $12.99 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: $12.99
  • Current list price: $12.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Rings of Powder at $12.99 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.
