The value story

It has been discounted 61 times in the 7 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 90 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $1.49 at 94 percent off still sits 20 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 88 percent. Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden ($34.99, scores 62) outscores it, and so does Stellar Tactics ($24.99, scores 32). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

I'm always attracted to tactics games with co-op which is a really rare thing so I must applaud the devs for adding it... That said the game feels incredibly unfinished. Pretty much every random battle on the overworld uses the same map, I'm sure it's different for different areas but you move back and forth across the same area when completing objectives and it gets extremely old fighting next to the same barn over...

This game is basically playing the same level over and over and over....no kidding. The turn based battle is almost always the same handful of maps and the battle is pretty simple and boring. There is an uninteresting story behind it all and you get things like some equipment upgrades, character upgrades which grow old after a while. In all good faith, I cant really recommend this game as it gets repetitive and...

FIGHTING OVER SCRAPS. That is what this game is about. Which makes it a PRIME GRIND GAME. Now look it must be said this game is not for everyone as it must be said I only ever play this game on legal drugs every once in a while. And for that purpose the game is good. Not much changes fast enough to throw me off and there is not alot of story to remember anyways. Your a gang and well you fight other gangs and well...
