The value story

65 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 50 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Element TD 2 - Tower Defense ($14.99, scores 56) and Sins of a Solar Empire II ($49.99, scores 41) both outscore it.

No matter how big my monitor is, I always have to scroll around the map. I'm on a 4k display, I can't imagine trying to play this on a normal 1080p setup.

The grids for tower placement all seem to be designed to aggravate anyone with the...
