The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in December 2025. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 34 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader ($14.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Gems of War - Puzzle RPG (free, scores 52).
