The value story

Across all 12 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Adventure Escape Mysteries (free, scores 63) and Lil' Guardsman ($19.99, scores 69) both outscore it.
