The value story

Across all 28 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Mecha Knights: Nightmare ($7.19, scores 78) and Octogeddon ($8.88, scores 75) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This game is 30 dollars for less than an hour of actual gameplay in the form of 6 missions. It took me 2.8 hours my first playthrough and that was just goofing around no less. There's even a few fights with certain enemies that just flat out don't take damage and you have to just "survive". I afked through these parts and came back to a victory screen.
