The value story
It has been discounted 61 times in the 9 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 87 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today's $0.74 at 75 percent off still sits 45 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 50 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 93 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Hyper Light Drifter ($19.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors ($9.99, scores 49).

Kinda decent in a old school hack and slash way... basic but serviceable. BUT, the interface is too primitive and annoying to work around. You have to play the game in a tiny window or fullscreen and you can't use a gamepad unless you remap one yourself and it's a bit too grindy for its own good. Given how many great games there are on steam that also go 90% off and are cheap and time being a limited resource, you...
