The value story

The value story

Across all 58 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 67 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 5 days ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 4 percent. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Baldur's Gate 3 ($59.99, scores 93) and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader ($49.99, scores 75) both outscore it.

What players say

Warning! Base game has about half the races available. The rest are all paid DLC. I bought the game on sale and for me to buy all DLC will cost roughley 10 times that amount. It's a large investment so that i may play as any race. As for the game, I might give it chance but Im against slimey buisness practices. To be clear I paid less than 4 dollars for the game at 90% off... good deal right? Just so you may play as...

I liked the game just alright, but the decision to have DLC-paywalled classes and races in a CRPG is such an incredibly greedy and insulting practice that I cannot in good conscious recommend it

Graphics? Terrible. Voice acting? Painful. Story? Mediocre. But if you want to engage in accurate, tactical dnd 5e combat, this is exactly what you're looking for. Especially with the Unfinished Business mod, which introduces Artificer, 5,5e ruleset, expanded races and more official subclasses. Tons of playtime to be had with the custom dungeon builder.
