The value story

The value story

Across all 114 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 6 days ago.

It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. Isle of Jura ($4.99, scores 12) outscores it, and so does Crystals of Time ($6.99, scores 14). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

What players say

Pros: ✅ Six different game modes (although I don't know whether that's a lot for this type of game). ✅ I guess the Points Shop is a positive feature :D Cons: ❌ It's strange to see additional DRM in a game like this. By the way, you can find the CD Key by going to Manage > CD Keys. Activating it removes the demo restrictions. ❌ You'll essentially be playing over and over to achieve a higher score. None of the modes...
