About the game

The value story

Across all 38 discounts in the 6 years tracked, the median cut is 85 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 85 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Hard West 2 ($29.99, scores 51) and Expeditions: Rome ($44.99, scores 71) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Level progression and difficulty is non-existent. (basically...
