The value story

38 discounts in the 4 years on record, a median of 65 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 10 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 93 percent of its genre. On the same math Creeper World 4 ($24.99, scores 57) and Nexus - The Jupiter Incident ($9.99, scores 53) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
