The value story

The value story

Across all 46 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 55 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $6.24 at 75 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Against its own genre its score lands in the top 1 percent. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The nearest things to it, Double Dragon: Neon ($9.99, scores 44) and Sacred Citadel ($9.99, scores 24), are both worse buys on this math.
