The value story
Across all 84 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 50 percent off still sits 188 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is cheaper than 76 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. On the same math Shattered Pixel Dungeon ($4.99, scores 83) and Dungeons of Dredmor ($7.99, scores 80) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This game is also very similar to something like FTL in the sense...

Hack, Slash, Loot is a cautionary tale of gaming's darker side, blending nostalgia with exploitation. Proceed with caution, and remember: in the end, you're the one being mined, not the loot.
This game has simple mechanics and easy to pick up. Might be very random and unpredictable at times, but that what makes it really interesting and satisfying when you actually winning. That's why every single run offers unique experience and makes this game very replayable. Achieved my first win at 8th run by playing "Wizard" character, that helped me understand game mechanics and gave satisfaction during chill...
