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): 1.43/day in the week to Sep 10 → 0.86/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.
About

Assemble a roster of heroes, build out your squad to face any scenario, learn how their skills interact for even greater strategic synergy and master the battlefield:
With more than 20+ playable heroes, each with two talent branches and a pool of 25 skills, there are a variety of strategies to approach each battle.
Up to 5 heroes can fill your roster from 8 class types: Ranged DPS, Magic Support, Assassins and more.
Each skill has it's own unique characteristics. Equip the ones that best suit your play style and create powerful synergistic combos between skills and across your squad.
Equip you characters with greater equipment as you progress and upgrade it all at your base with resources you get from missions.

Assume the role of Soren, an retired warrior, now living as a blacksmith, who will mark the steps of a great revolution following an attack on his family:
Engage in turn-based tactical battle with several enemy factions. Across a grid-based field, maneuver your squad and the enemy to optimize your strategy and dominate.
Every battlefield is different; from using higher ground to increase your attack, to navigating moving environments. Consider your surroundings and use the battlefield to your advantage.
Each mission will have a special challenge, pushing your knowledge of the mechanics with even greater rewards if you succeed.

Prelude Dark Pain takes place in the world of Statera, a territory ravaged by the Dark Pain, an ancient and mysterious source of destruction. The Order of the Ashen Crusade rules with blood and terror over a great extent of this territory while praying to the Lord of Pain. However, there are still free people who fight against the lurking evil, like Soren and the Blue Net faction.
The reality of Statera is being torn apart by the conflict, causing tears in the veil between worlds that protects it from supernatural forces. Through these rifts, the creatures of Pain can break through their reality to invade and cause even greater devastation.
Players will have to make important decisions that will influence both the main story and the heroes that can be recruited in battle. You may miss some of them because of your previous choices!
There will be more than 20 different factions with their own cultures scattered throughout Statera. Many of them are hostile, guaranteeing more than 70 different enemies to face. You'll also find final bosses among them!

In addition to the main story, Prelude Dark Pain will be loaded with sidequests and ways to influence the world outside of the main story. These will give you access to recruit certain heroes and even more lore:
World Missions can be picked up from NPC's across the world map and lead you to even more content.
Raids can undertaken by heroes from your settlement, helping to push back against the tide of enemies, save the innocent, spy and gather resources.
Craft new weapons and equipment for your heroes from your settlement as well, taking your skills warriors to an even greater degree of strength.

ㅅㅂ 얼리 10퍼할인해서 샀는데, 또 사라고? 미친 ㅅㅂ 넘들아 환불해라
还是不错的,就是战斗的时候,视野的移动不太便捷,经常卡视野,操作不了,还是跑步能不能跑得更快一定啊
It scratches that itch for FFT. Really like how the design and setups work. Hoping for more content soon. It does have some UI issues and movement can get wonky where it doesn't go where you want it to.

游戏总是会莫名其妙跳出来,作者尽快优化啊
Esta muy guapo! Me he pasado el Acto 1 que es lo que ofrece este Early y me ha gustado mucho!
Controls are just so horrible, it destroy the experience, sad because the game looked cool but when you start to play, hell of UI and control is real. I stop so fast because of that.
This game is absolutely one of my favorite turn based games I have played in I don't know how long! The story is fantastic, the art style is outstanding and should be the new standard for this genre, great strategy and good mix of difficulty... I cannot wait for the continued updates as the early access road map continues through the year... I could not put this down... soooo good!! Excellent job Quickfire Games!
体験版と比べてUIの操作性は良くなってるけど、まだもう一歩。特にパッド移動がちょっと惜しいかな。アプデを気长に待ちます。開発さん、焦らないで!野心的なのはすごく伝わるし、グラフィックは文句なし、戦略の深みも見え始めてる(未解放の要素も多いけど)。マジで焦らないで!焦らないで!焦らないで!じっくり、じっくり時間をかけて磨き上げていってください!
很独特的美术风格,我简直太吃这个奇幻手绘画风了 战旗的战斗机制设计上还挺难的,很多时候都要考虑到前排站位和后排攻击会不会冲突,回合结束时的朝向也要思考一番
