The value story

73 discounts in the 10 years on record, a median of 90 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.49 at 90 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is less well reviewed than 94 percent of its genre. On the same math Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians ($9.99, scores 37) and No Time To Explain Remastered ($14.99, scores 43) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

But seriously, the game is not bad at all and quite complex, the mechanics are cool, but I still haven't fully understood how rage works, like Goku's, I advise you to try it.
