The value story

Across all 20 discounts in the 2 years tracked, the median cut is 20 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

It is less well reviewed than 82 percent of its genre. On the same math Greak: Memories of Azur ($19.99, scores 38) and AWAKEN - Astral Blade ($19.99, scores 50) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

This game is fun. The artwork is being redone for some obvious reasons. However, the gameplay really shines. The combat is amazing and very satisfying. Please finish this game devs!
