The value story

The value story

June 2015 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. It has been discounted 60 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 76 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Orcs Must Die! 2 ($3.74, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Rock of Ages 2: Bigger & Boulder™ ($4.49, scores 72).

$4.73 is where it would stop being a BANGER.
