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): 0.29/day in the week to Sep 7 → 0/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 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.

This game is really excellent. Satisfying, tactical, quick to play, very fun. Highly recommended
Quit? Press again. Ok, but now I'm unimpressed.
A really cool twist to chess. It can be overwhelming remembering the abilities of each class, on top of what each enemy does, but once you get over the initial learning curve you'll be blitzing through each round. It's like learning how to play chess all over again. Each game is just the right amount of length to be able to play this in short sessions.

In this game you cant sacrifice THE ROOK bruh. Nevermind, the game is good <3
I don't know who taught the dev chess but you can't just block moves because it would make the puzzle too easy
Умение играть в шахматы - признак джентльмена. Умение играть в шахматы хорошо - признак потраченной впустую жизни. АУФ БЕЗУМНО МОЖНО БЫТЬ ПЕРВЫМ

Once you figure out all the moves, of you and all the enemies, it gets a lot easier. I died like 20 times before I figured this game out and beat my first dungeon campaign. Worthwhile but it'lll test your brain power for sure
don't get me wrong, the game is good. it is fun, extensive, and has a lot to offer. i play it often, but i do not recommend spending the money. if the game worked properly, it would definitely be worth it, but the enemies cheat. they activate their abilities (especially the spark abilities) whenever they feel like it, and it has caused me to lose many runs in the process. i wish i could say people should get this game, but it is not worth ten dollars. honestly, just buy slay the spire.
Fun!
