The value story

15 discounts in the 18 months on record, a median of 40 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.

It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Kingdoms Reborn ($19.99, scores 62) and Rise to Ruins ($14.99, scores 67) both outscore it.
