The value story
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $59.99. That was August 2026. In 88 days of price history it has never once been discounted.
Against its own genre its score lands in the top 18 percent. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. The nearest things to it, AWAKEN - Astral Blade ($19.99, scores 50) and Rune Dice ($14.99, scores 50), are both worse buys on this math.
