The value story

The value story

It has been discounted 71 times in the 11 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. Last Epoch ($34.99, scores 35) outscores it, and so does The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II ($14.99, scores 23). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score

Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
MonetizationNone

What players say

Great story, lot's of twists and turns. Really unique for an RPG, zero crashes. It's not a soulslike game, which is a welcome relief in an RPG world littered with sponge-like bosses that require you to memorize a bosses moves. I definitely recommend buying it while it's on sale.

I've played PoE and Diablo, and to me, this game has a similar feel to those two. Spellcasting feels a bit slow compared to PoE, and the skill variety is somewhat limited. But overall, if you enjoy PoE and Diablo, I think you should give this game a try-it might be for you!
HELMY IS HERERecommendedafter 3.5h2 found this helpfulRead on Steam
A game with potential but it was never really finished and is now abandoned for all purposes. All the multiplayer no no longer works. Could have been amazing, developer did an Antham.
