The value story
The lowest price on record is $15.19, set in September 2025. Its cuts run 16 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 2 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today's $20.39 at 15 percent off still sits 34 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 32 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Emberward ($16.99, scores 85) beats it on value, while it beats Tower Factory ($11.99, scores 64).
