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/day in the week to Aug 24 → 0.14/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.

Looks grotesque and it plays even more hideously than that. Quite evil indeed.
[b]GROTESQUE** TACTICS: Evil Heroes <GT-EH>[/b] is a funny <dare I say hilarious>, indie, satirical, tactical RPG parady combining elements of popular Western and Asian RPGs. The developer and publisher is Silent Dreams {original name was Headup Games}. [b]GT-EH[/b] currently <DEC2024> is on sale at a [b]-90% discount = $0.99 US[/b] !! A bundle of 3 Grotesque Tactics series games is priced at $1.59 US. The reluctant protagonist is a knight of questionable talents and problematic “emo” fits, who is drawn into a quest to save [b]The Kingdom of Glory[/b] from the mercilessly minions of an evil cult; [b]the Dark Church[/b]. He ends up teamed with a strange group of fellow questers that includes a supremely arrogant Demi-God, a blood-thirsty Vampire, an ill-tempered horny Angel and assorted other beings. AND there are [b]Killer Rabbits[/b], deadly attack Mushrooms, and scores of other villainous creatures to overcome ... Treasures to find … Dungeons to clear … Scantily clad Virgins to rescue from ferocious Monsters … Outfits to upgrade and equip … Vicious and angry Bosses to defeat … Heroes to level up … [b]An Angel to satisfy[/b]. Combat is by turn-based tactical battles with comical animations; dropped weapons, etc. Throughout this RPG/quest, there always is humor and satire. Gamer MUST pay attention to the dialogue or it is easy to miss it. [b][u]An interesting note[/u][/b] from the store page ... ** In chess, [b]a “Grotesque”[/b] is a problem or endgame study that features a particularly unlikely initial position, especially one in which White fights with a very small force against a much larger black army. Grotesques are generally intended to be humorous.

This game should be named: Grotesque Tactics: Evil camera. Camera is true villain of this game. What else? Don't want to waste yourtime so I will just tell you how launcher works. It tries to connect with some broken url and displays 71 "scrip error" messages in a row before you can click start game button. That part is probably more entertaining than the game itself. Avoid.
If you are a fan of old school Fire Emblem and similar games, this is likely to be a very enjoyable experience. The story isn't particularly complicated, but what there is is none the less satisfying with some interesting twists. There aren't many different locations to visit, but it none the less does a decent job of using what it does have well - and even plays it for humour at one point, highlighting that you have been to a location before. The actual strategic systems are a bit clunky, but ultimately satisfying to master. It never feels like the difficulty comes from fighting the games systems instead of the opponents it throws at you. This said, the difficulty curve can be quite high, and because there is a finite amount of all resources in the game any early setbacks can be crippling by the end of the game. And sometimes you do need to be careful of the camera, as it can cause you to issue an unintended order in a few of the more obstructed environments. Overall this game is obviously intended to appeal to players who like a tough challenge, but if that's not for you the developers have actually left a lot of options so that anyone can enjoy the game - beyond simple difficulty settings, the developer console (think ID Software or Valve cheat codes) is readily accessible and you don't get penalised by the game in any way for using it. There is about 3 hours of content to be experienced here, but expect it to take about 18 hours to get through everything if you are good at these sorts of games, or about 36 hours if you find these sorts of games more challenging.
I tried to understand this game, but unfortunately it didn't work out. The game is quite boring ---
Grotesque Tactics, popüler Batı ve Asya konsol RPG'lerinin unsurlarını birleştiren son derece bağımlılık yaratan bir taktiksel RPG'dir. Çalıştırması epey zor.
The game glitches constantly. You get stuck in combat mode or a character gets frozen in place. You have to save and get out of the game and go back in to fix it. Otherwise, it's fine. The game is fully misogynistic but in a humorous way. Turn based combat works fine, but any time you have npc allies, they will attack you instead of the enemy. If I hadn't gotten it in a three-game pack for 2.00, I would feel ripped off.
a silly little game. with next to no plot or story.. limited and pretty poor tactics/skills to use and constant reuse of 'levels'.. I'm guessing because it was made by one person?!? its ok.. but nothing to 'rave on about' like some do.. and #2 is NOT worth buying for any amount of money..
Fogalmam sincsen honnan van meg nekem ez a játék... Ez egy taktikai RPG játék amiben körökre osztott a harcrendszer. A Baldur's Gate 3 ra hasonlit a játék leginkább... ,de nagyon szórakoztató hosszú távon. 10/5
