Elemental sales improving alongside the game

Elemental's campaign of redemption appears to be working, with sales up 30 percent in October. Speaking with Big Download, Stardock didn't share any specific sales figures, but noted that Impulse purchases are up and retail stores are increasing shipment orders. The company probably got a nice boost during the month by offering the next two game expansions for free to those who purchased the title before All Hallows' Eve.

Stardock has been doing a pretty solid job so far of turning the strategy RPG's "disastrous" launch around. Elemental may have been born prematurely, but with proper oversight from the game's new senior producer, the franchise might just grow up into a respectable member of society.

I picked it up when they offered the deep discount last month. It's pretty fun. Campaign still has a couple of problems, one game breaking (ships are a pain to navigate and if you lose them, you're done).

For those of you who've shelved the game until it's fixed, give the new patch a try. It adds a bit more "soul" to the game and makes it a bit more fun.
