The value story
Across all 73 discounts in the 9 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off still sits 235 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
It is less well reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Death's Gambit: Afterlife ($19.99, scores 52) outscores it, and so does Salt and Sanctuary ($17.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

📕 This is NOT a bad game, but it's hard to recommend because the game design ranges from "okay, neat" to "so boring, exploration is torture", which is critical for the genre. There are interesting creatures, lore, characters, a lot of weapons (katanas are OP) and not useless pets, but some stat LVLing doesn't feel right. Hitboxes can be weird, there are almost no difficult enemies, and the only way to die is due to...
