I've not experienced a more cozy, atmospheric game in which you violently defend against the ruthless and bloodthirsty Viking hordes… It's absolute art and I adore it.

PricePrice history via IsThereAnyDeal.
The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in September 2023. It has been discounted 75 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 7 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 5 weeks.
It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
