The value story
It has been discounted 11 times in the 2 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 35 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 33 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas ($14.99, scores 49) outscores it, and so does AWAKEN - Astral Blade ($19.99, scores 50). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Fun game to play. Nice change of pace from the heavier-handed "souls like" melding in regular Metroidvanias. Does mix interesting "overland" parts with Metroidvanias (with the inherent pros and cons) which was interesting and novel. Plenty of collectibles, and updated versions introduces some QoL improvements to mapping which I appreciated (as a "collector of all things that I can collect in a game" kind of person)...

I'm a huge fan of Final Fight: Streetwise despite its negative ratings, and reading about how Trent Kaniuga did his best to save the game and turn it into what it was has increased my respect for that man tremendously. I really enjoyed his performance as Kyle Travers as well, which led me to keep an eye out for his future projects. It's a bit late, but I learned about Twilight Monk's existence about 10 days ago...
Lots of fun! Seems like half the bad reviews have to do with losing progress to the last save point if you die. I am playing on hard, there are plenty of save points, and it has not been an issue for me. Also, not everyone is a fan of the Zelda II format. If neither of those bother you and it looks like something you will be interested in then I would check it out. It surprised me and I am enjoying it more than...
