The value story

It has been discounted 51 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. On the same math Cyber Knights: Flashpoint ($29.99, scores 56) and Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

I love RPGs and I really really like this. I've just finished it and I got 42 hours out of it. This is an absolute gem of a game.

solid turn based strategy game. love the setting and lore. A little clunky at first, but you'll get used to it.

The game has a fun concept, it works ok enough to be amusing. However it has a lot of bugs that cause the game to crash, and some research shows the dev is just gone. None of these bugs will be fixed, so please Do Not Buy this abandoned game.
