The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.24. That was December 2024. Its cuts run 70 percent off as a rule. There have been 28 in the 7 years tracked, about 12 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 2 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt (free, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Shooty Skies (free, scores 74).
1 of the 320 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 95 percent of the 169 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

Rather than relying on lengthy button combinations or traditional close-range combat, the game builds its identity around magical duels fought entirely...
