The value story

Across all 29 discounts in the 5 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Ziggurat 2 ($24.99, scores 70) and Deadzone: Rogue ($12.49, scores 50) both outscore it.
