June 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $7.99. It has been discounted 20 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 40 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago. Past sales have already crossed the $8.83 BANGER line 3 times.
On value it sits in the top 5 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Cat Quest II ($14.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Kitaria Fables ($19.99, scores 30).
The press gave it 83; the people who bought it give it 95 percent. A 12-point gap in the buyer's favour.

What players say
I received the first two games for free on epic and after finishing CQ2, I felt kind of lost until I realized they had already released CQ3! This game improves on a lot of things the others established. the magic system is cool. the weapons and armor are always good. Adding the pirate ship stuff was such a cool idea and it played well. It offered some challenges and an entertaining story. I'm excited to play CQ4 in...
More of the same from the first two games, but improved again. It cost only £10.00 for all three CQ games on sale, which is great value. The Cat Quest games are basically a very simplified Elder Scrolls game. You go on fetch or kill quests, there's simple RPG elements, gear, weapons, spells. The art style is really nice. The humour was fun. This time there's pirates and pirate ship battles (again very simple...
About 12 hours to finish with almost all gear and achievements. A truly enjoyable experience. If you liked Cat Quest 1 & 2, you should like this one as well. It is one of my favorite series. Good clean humor, easy to grasp combat, about the right amount of gaming time and fun to play. Highly recommended if you like straight forward, simple adventure gaming. Hey devs! Maybe the next one can have online co-op? (it...
