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.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.13/day in the week to Jul 21 → 0/day in the week after.
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.

In honour of Spooktober, I decided to boot this one up a clever parody of classic JRPGs, and honestly, I’m all for it. I love its sense of humour and unique aesthetic. It’s definitely on the short side, but it’s a fun little ride while it lasts. You can grab it super cheap bundled with Call of Cthulhu, so it’s an absolute steal if you can snag that deal.
pixel-art RPG with turn-based combat, full of humor and nods to classic Japanese RPGs ✅Ability to choose bonuses when leveling up ✅Very good price for the game's content ✅Fast, dynamic combat system with turn-based duels ✅Ability to save anywhere ✅Four diverse characters, each with a different role in the party ❌Very basic equipment system, only weapons and armor, no helmets, accessories, or more advanced equipment ❌Only a four person party and the inability to recruit more heroes, which limits experimentation with the team ❌Repetitive music, and in some dungeons, there's no music at all ❌Little interaction with the world ,you can't search shelves, barrels, or pots, and secrets are few and far between ❌Pixel graphics ❌❌Verdict: [strike] Terrible [/strike], [strike] Bad [/strike], [b] Mediocre [/b], [strike] Decent [/strike], [strike] Good [/strike], [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for short games, retro indie simulator games, and similar) [quote]If you'd like to see more of my reviews, you can find them on my curator page: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45994324/admin/reviews_manage/]CuratorKingViking[/url] and he we group: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/CuratorKingViking]GroupKingViking[/url] If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask.

Hood classic. Better than the remake as well. Lot's of good memories on xbox 360 indie marketplace playing this game the lab is my favorite area and its my favorite of the two zeboyd games of this style.
The penultimate sequel to Breath of Death VI that began with Breath of Death I. And if you think you've already played Breath of Death I, II, III, IV, V, & VI before, you haven't until you've experienced the glory that is Breath of Death VII. It'll make you think that I - VI didn't even happen because VII is the only one that exists that you need to play.
Acho que vale a pena jogar principalmente para quem gosta da nostalgia dos RPGs retrô de 8 bits. O jogo apresenta uma boa ambientação, passando por vários lugares diferentes e fazendo o mundo parecer bem variado. Para mim, o ponto alto do jogo é o humor, alguns textos são muito bem feitos e conseguem trazer situações realmente engraçadas, característica que já tinha aparecido em outro jogo que gostei muito de jogar, Cthulhu Saves the World. Acredito que seja melhor aproveitar aos poucos, porque ficar enfrentando inimigos praticamente o tempo todo pode acabar se tornando um pouco chato e repetitivo. No geral, é uma experiência simples, divertida e com uma campanha relativamente curta.
It's enjoyable for what it is: an extremely linear, quick homage/parody to NES JRPGs. It lightens the grinding, gets straight to the point, and has a little humor along the way. I enjoyed the 4th wall breaks, but it's nowhere near as good as its followup, Cthulhu Saves the World. Good for the money (it's frequently on sale for under a dollar).
Pretty fun little RPG, quite short with a few balancing issues but has lots of interesting takes on classic JRPG mechanics
Had to drop this one. I've tried to play it a few times over the years, but I don't last long. It tries to emulate the NES era of RPG's, particularly Dragon Quest, but it falls flat. The story is almost entirely jokes, at this point basically extremely out of date one liners. And from an art design standpoint, it looks worse than a lot of the games it's trying to emulate. Dungeon areas are sprawling and everything looks the same, so it's kind of a pain to navigate. Combat is okay, but a little weird, there's an abundance of options for what are essentially very simplistic battles. The idea is to be quick, enemies get stronger each turn, and you get more recovery the faster you win. But I just couldn't get into a good flow.
The best Breath of Death so far
Breath of Death is a grindy, old school JRPG on the level of the original Dragon Warrior. There are some interesting options at level up and some minor humor, but you have to really be up for 95% of your time to be spent in random encounter fights.
