The value story

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.74. That was July 2013. 56 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 60 percent off across all of them, roughly 10 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Volgarr the Viking ($9.99, scores 56) beats it on value, while it beats Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition ($19.99, scores 26).

More about Wizorb

81 on Metacritic, 70 percent from players. A gap this way round is usually launch damage or a slow decline.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 135 reviews written there were positive, against 70 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 4.5 hours. Doing everything runs 17, 3.7 times as long.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 4.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

The Steam-version is somewhat enhanced, though at core it is pretty much the exact same game as it was +15-years ago.
