The value story

The lowest price on record is $9.59, set in August 2018. It has been discounted 72 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales. No sale on record has reached $9.52, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Gato Roboto ($7.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats 8Doors: Arum's Afterlife Adventure ($19.99, scores 42).

Steam's global achievement data puts 35 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. This site sampled 560 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 4 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 1,600 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Luna Nights is a metroidvania-style Touhou Project game. You play as the Perfect and Elegant Maid Sakuya and have to fight the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil cast (with 1 exception- one character from Mountain of Faith). The game is easy if you learn to use Sakuya's time manipulation (snail and timestop) in addition to learning the patterns of the bosses (grazing enemy attacks grants HP and MP recovery). I do wish that...
