The value story
Across all 36 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 80 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dude Simulator 3 ($0.79, scores 23) beats it on value, while it beats Dude Simulator 2 ($4.99, scores 2).
What players say
the guy who made this and cortex command is a loser who never finishes or maintains his games. I have 29 hours in this game because i played the four maps availiable over and over in anticipation for more but more never came, just like how the more never came for cortex command, but at least that was a game.
2 more reviews, 2 not recommended
Terrible outcome, not even close to full release game, feels empty. It's as well not even close to Cortex Command sadly to say & MP feels off. Don't even try this, just go for CCCP, not that soviet one, go for Cortex Command Community Project.
After having stood by data realms despite the CC abandonment I gave them another chance, unfortunately this was even more brazen and disrespectful. I won't make the mistake of trusting them again with the atomontage engine
