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): 2/day in the week to Aug 23 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.

Me arrepiento de haber comprado este juego. He jugado varios Roguelike y con este realmente sientes que no estás progresando en nada. Solo es más frustrante por cada partida que pasa y cuando piensas que conseguiste una estrategia solida, el juego te pone otro obstáculo aún más frustrante para que se te quiten las ganas de jugar. Los Gambitos (Power-ups) no son tan poderosos y solo te deja llevar 5 de ellos, lo cual no te da tanta maniobra. A medida que juegas, vas desbloqueando otros Gambitos que no sirve para nada, ya que al final parece que la única estrategia es llevar muchas Reinas. No lo recomiendo para nada si realmente quieres disfrutar un buen Roguelike, aunque si de gusta la estética del juego y no te importa en gastar el dinero en algo en algo que solo lo vas a abrir 2 veces y jugar durante una hora para más nunca jugarlo, es decisión de cada quien.

If Balatro is a GM in the deckbuilding meta, Gambonanza is an IM.
Great game, highly recommendable. Beat it on highest difficulty with 21 hours in -> fair priced imo Catchy music, polished controls and addictive mechanics.
Lowk decent game IF you are able to spend a lot of time having to make and adjust your playstyle to see what work and doesnt
Truly a captivating game early in to gameplay. With further play shows much promise to have long term enjoyment. Would love to see more of this game with no pressure to any dev. An amazing game made by amazing Devs
dojebana gra tak naprawde mozna wygrac kazda gre gdy sie mysli nawet jak masz jednego pionka i szybko sie mozna nauczyc grac w szachy
"Roguelike" шахматы на 10ч геймплея, что мало для такого жанра. На сложности "ферзь" довольно трудно играть с ограничениями. Многие гамбиты-улучшения ничего полезного не делают, а создавать сильные билды с генератором фигур или пропуском ходов тут нельзя, из-за лимита гамбитов на 5 сражений. Приходится надеяться на измененные клетки, с которыми уже большая зависимость от RNG. Небольшой совет, призрачная фигура при посещении золотой становится "настоящей", таким методом и проходим... Из плюсов можно выделить визуальное оформление и идею. К минусам я бы отнёс: -бесполезность многих гамбитов. -некоторые ходы ИИ, которые никак не двигают ход матча, оставаясь в защите, через что сложно пробиваться с малым кол-вом фигур. -у зелёного усиления фигур, разрушающее случайные клетки, не хватает индикатора клетки, которая будет разрушена, очень неприятно рандомно терять ценные фигуры. -иногда возникали проблемы с переносом фигур мышкой, из-за чего терял фигуру. Возникало у многих в отзывах, может виноват движок юнити. -слабая реиграбельность и духота при углублении в игру.
Je ne connaissais pas grand chose aux échecs mais le jeu vous explique tout ce qu'il y a savoir. Son côté rogue like est très addictif et très efficace.
