The value story

The value story

56 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 30 percent off across all of them, roughly 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, The Slormancer ($19.99, scores 49) and Bravery and Greed ($3.99, scores 43), are both worse buys on this math.

More about Chronicon

Steam's global achievement data puts 45 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. This site sampled 734 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,174 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 69 percent of the 502 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 15 hours; clearing it takes 80, which is 5.3 times the campaign.

What players say

This game is the proof that you don't need a tripple A studios to make a good and addictive game. One that delivers what it sent out to do. A cool game that I still can have to resist the urge to call in sick so I can play more.

diablo like with many customizations: skill trees, items, item sets, tinkering in multipe ways with items, pets, so on. yes its a bit grindy at the end, but the endgame is almost the main part of the game
