The value story

27 discounts in the 3 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 80 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Wargroove ($19.99, scores 65) and Conquest of Elysium 5 ($29.99, scores 72) both outscore it.
