The value story
The value story
Across all 60 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 25 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 67 percent. Despot's Game: Dystopian Battle Simulator ($19.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does Terminus: Zombie Survivors ($19.99, scores 81). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

A game with big potential but unfortunately the dev is hostile and arrogant towards players, talks down to them, doesn't listen to feedback (even quietly deletes it, lol) and insists on making a game that does not respect players' time: 1) No normal save system solely due to dev being petty (died at the end of a multi-level dungeon...

About the game
Stoneshard is a hardcore turn-based RPG about the harsh life of a medieval mercenary: travel with your own caravan, descend into procedurally generated dungeons, learn new skills, survive hunger and injuries - and remember, every mistake can mean death and loss of progress.
