The value story

January 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. Across all 98 discounts in the 11 years tracked, the median cut is 90 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.34 at 91 percent off still sits 173 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.

It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide ($2.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Hero Siege ($7.99, scores 19).

What players say

Stealth here is so-so, battles in any neighboring tactical game are better, and simply choosing the only correct option is not very interesting. And the game is relatively short. I am indifferent to gnomes (even in space), the setting, although atypical, is not enough to recommend the game just for that.
