The value story
125 discounts in the 13 years on record, a median of 75 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.74 at 75 percent off still sits 51 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 90 percent. On the same math Agents of Mayhem ($29.99, scores 5) and War Trigger 3 (free, scores 5) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
What players say
This game is actually good. But has a few very difficult levels... If you like a challenge. The game has ragdoll physics! The game has unlockables! The game has 2 protagonists. The game has box pushing physics! The game has breakable lights! The game has no difficulty settings. The game has drivable vehicles. The game has no jump button. The game has no ending cutscene. The game has dumb ai. Fun game.

CT Special Forces: Fire for Effect Positives: + Ok idea + Two characters with different strengths + Nice abilities (invisibility & vision modes) + The vehicles you can use + First person view when aiming down sight + The scope weapons + Some missions are entertaining and fun (especially mission 12 & 13) + Ok physics engine + Ok music + Acceptable voiceacting + Good length (about 8-9 hours) Negatives: - A lot of bugs...
If this version wasn't so buggy the game would be great. Some videos on the internet show that these are bugs. On level 9 you can't go through some metal beams, if you're lucky you'll pass just fine. Splash damage and the bazooka kill you with one hit, which is also a bug. Enemies can see through walls and more bugs. Otherwise, the game is interesting and would be quite easy without the bugs and has a nice upgrade...
