The value story

November 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $8.99. 40 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 30 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 16 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Those Who Rule ($17.99, scores 68) beats it on value, while it beats Lost Eidolons ($34.99, scores 22).

5 of the 531 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 115 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Aria Chronicle - 100% Completion Review Score: 7.5/10 Aria Chronicle is a Turn Based RPG about a princess on her royal pilgrimage that quickly turns into a quest to save the world from destruction and redeem those forgotten, after fully completing this game i'll give some Pro's, Neutrals and Con's. PRO'S: -Protagonist is well designed, stylish and cute -Lots of different classes to pick from for main character...

There's a little gem of a game and a very pleasant surprise for me. Kinda like Darkest Dungeon, but not so grim and, if you find the synergies between heroes, not so hard either. The game has a story as well, but nothing special. You simply must beat the bad guys. The battles are turn based and you can have a maximum of 5 team mates. Sometimes you must bring a particular hero in a dungeon, but more often than not...

The artwork is really great. Very reminiscent to Vanillaware, but the combat gets so repetitive to the point that I had to stop playing. It is a brighter take of Darkest Dungeon, while at the same time, I'm not a fan of Darkest Dungeon...
