The value story

The value story

Across all 72 discounts in the 14 years tracked, the median cut is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is cheaper than 67 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 96 percent. MARVEL Puzzle Quest (free, scores 23) outscores it, and so does Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel ($9.99, scores 56). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say

80/100 By chance I discovered this duology and bought it immediately, and I don't even like RTS. I like the superhero cheesiness of this style, the art, the suits, the music, the dialogues, mix of golden and silver age comics and a cheap price for both games. Runs well without third party programs like nglide or internal files changes, at least for now. IT'S SO GOOD!!! The real problem: It's buggy. Campaign bugs are...

It really shouldn't be overlooked, because playing it feels like stepping into a living comic book. The aesthetic is striking and addicting, making it a joy to revisit even years later. For me, it's also a nostalgic classic from my childhood, and going back to it never gets old. The game features a wide...
