The value story

75 discounts in the 9 years on record, a median of 66 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today's $0.75 at 81 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is cheaper than 90 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 72 percent. Into the Breach ($14.99, scores 86) outscores it, and so does Invisible, Inc. ($19.99, scores 79). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

Simple tactical experience with roguelike elements. When you begin to play it, it turns out to be ok. Makes you wanna finish one more round until game is complete. Simple to catch and enjoyable.
