The value story
97 discounts in the 14 years on record, a median of 80 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. Gems of War - Puzzle RPG (free, scores 52) outscores it, and so does You Must Build A Boat ($4.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
This game is fun. There's options for focusing your heroes on spells, items, artifacts, and troops, with a variety of strategies possible. My favorite strategy is bringing a wide variety of troop colors so most of the matches I can make gain energy, with items that increase defense and energy gain for survivability and faster attacking. The story isn't spectacular, but it's reasonably fun. A couple minigames break...
