About the game

As humanity endeavored to better themselves, they created the biological marvel known as Gears. Originally intended as the next step of human evolution, they were instead fitted for war and turned against their own creators.

The value story

Across all 82 discounts in the 12 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.99 at 80 percent off still sits 101 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lethal League ($13.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Killer Instinct (free, scores 66).

Timeless. Best music set of all fighting games! Nice controls and mechanics! Cool characters!

Guilty Gear before it got schleimed. Gimmick fights in ""story"" suck though, but who cares.
