The value story
The value story
80 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 73 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Citadel: Forged with Fire ($14.99, scores 20) outscores it, and so does ARK: Survival Ascended ($11.24, scores 8). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
This is likely a dead game, but it had so much potential to equal or eclipse ark. I wish I knew what happened to it, and that it had faired better. I'm still hoping for a resurgeance since the servers are still active, kind of like scrap mechanic. IDK who owns this, but if they revived it, it could still be great.

I got this so long ago I have forgot it existed more times than I played it, and its still in early access.
