The value story
The value story
Across all 40 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 96 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 87 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 75 percent. Zero Caliber VR ($7.49, scores 41) outscores it, and so does War of Rights ($29.99, scores 47). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

born too late to fight in the desert, born too early to fight in the desert, and born just in time to fight in the desert.
Used to be one of my favorite games in general, then a flood of cheaters and the dev abandoned the game. If your going to play this, play in private lobbies
