Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Classic and suprisingly timeless given how simple in its core it is... cant recommend, there are gamebreaking bugs related to puzzles, that will leave you absolutely clueless and unless youre speaking czech, good luck trying to find a solution on internet... shame. i wont ever recommend broken games the game doesnt explain almost anything, like what those spells you cast actually do... this should be ingame and i shouldnt bother myself googling the simple explanations... while i appreciate the compatibility, it is obvious that the ingame manual should have been part of the game in options.... the combat itself is also a joke, there is clear initiative of all enemies and your characters, but its all random number generator, you will never know how to sequence your turn properly, because it doesnt make any sense, once you start encountering enemies, that will run away from you, you will know what i mean... basically you set actions and then you watch the turn unfold... bartering is so stupid yet so complicated if you look at the numbers behind the process in a guide... basic stat redistribution is also a mystery to me (health, mana) when you make your characters you basically set the for the entire game whether they will gain health or mana... otherwise i cant explain why my 30strength "mage" character still has 35hp while my 35strength "warrior" has 100+... there is ofc no explanation anywhere whatsoever

Stará ale pořád dobrá hra. Jinak doporučuju se podívat do diskuze a stáhnout si ADV : Bludiště, City, Dakside, Dungeon, Heroes, Magika a Sféra, Mudw, Norgav, Skřetí říše, Stíny a Tarnwor.
C'est un bon jeu et surtout l'ajout d'un editeur dans la version beta est un gros plus. Il me fait penser a Quest mais l'interet est de controler plusieurs personnages et pas un seul. En plus le faire de diviser le groupe est un plus. J'ajouterai d'autre commentaire quand j'aurai plus avancé dans le jeu et l'editeur.
good game
Absolute legend. I played that as a kid with my father. So we are now playing it again. Remembering all the old tricks and puzzels. Great game design, strong D&D vibes and catchy music. <3
Super hra, i po letech dokáže nadchnout. Krásný kreslený styl je doplněn snadnou hratelností. Jen ke konci to začíná být dost hardcore, ale nic, co by se nedalo s trochou taktiky zvládnout.
Cult classic, the steam version runs fine, thanks for the re-release here.
skvělá stará hra.
Very fun blobber (turn based, grid based), with an interesting gimmick of being able to split the party into 2 or more blobs to solve puzzles and strategically win fights. Recommended if you're looking for a classic crawler. Quite a few challenging puzzles too, but you can get some help from the steam guides. I explored every nook and cranny in 30 hours.
Pecka !
