What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical RPG game (about 8 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

Across all 21 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 9 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is cheaper than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 93 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Dragon Cliff ($1.99, scores 77) and Yaoling: Mythical Journey ($19.99, scores 72) both outscore it.
