The value story

It has been discounted 56 times in the 8 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $1.49 at 85 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 71 percent. Tooth and Tail ($19.99, scores 45) outscores it, and so does Awesomenauts ($6.99, scores 66). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

This game didn't quite reach the level of the first one, but it's still nice. I just wish it had more troops.

I bought this game because I remembered playing it on Wii U when I was a kid, the Wii U version is no longer available so I was really excited when I found the steam version. The game is exactly as I remember and it's so much fun to play it again with my sister after a decade :*)
