The value story

Across all 37 discounts in the 8 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. ROBOBEAT ($19.99, scores 76) and Bloodshed ($12.99, scores 56) both outscore it.
