The value story

December 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. It has been discounted 34 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 69 percent off, with about 15 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 23 percent of the games it competes with. It is better reviewed than 78 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Fantasy Map Simulator ($5.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Doodle God ($14.99, scores 33).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 298 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 37 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 1.4 hours; clearing it takes 5, which is 3.9 times the campaign.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

Pros: good Fighter Creator Good customization Import images. text editor lots of characters in the workshop Runs easy. fun to play with. easy to play. Cons: No tutorials. Not a lot of people play it anymore. Glitchy Zone customizer Map editor didn't work at...

This is in fact, the ultimate showdown. Of ultimate destiny. Including good guys, bad guys, and explosions. About as far as the eye is able to see. I was just notified, however, that only one will survive, and one has to wonder who it will happen to be. I reiterate, this is, in fact, the ultimate showdown. Of ultimate destiny.

This game contains SuspLummaInj. Lumma is an info stealer. It's a malware. It also does not function but that may be a personal issue.
