The value story

It has been discounted 65 times in the 10 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is cheaper than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 74 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Beast Battle Simulator ($9.99, scores 62) and Party Hard 2 ($19.99, scores 38) both outscore it.

Store page describes it as a RPG but is more appropriately described as a simple tactical strategy game, where resources are obtained after battles to be used for upgrades and troops. It is a mobile port and as such has simple graphics, easy and straightforward game mechanics, and is very quick to play and complete. For the price is a fairly decent game. 6/10
