About the game

The value story

It has been discounted 31 times in the 6 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 25 percent on value. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. On the same math Crying Suns ($24.99, scores 64) and 112 Operator ($24.99, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say

Really like it Choose your cruiser and your own set of weapons and supports to build, and then fight opponents and players with it. Sounds simple but in the end very nice and entertaining.
