Every market we collect.
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 Jul 30 → 0.43/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 2,400 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.

Tower defence mixed with FPS? count me in. This game takes both elements and combine them in a very good way. Even today this game aged well, peraphs the graphics are lacking but the gameplay makes up for it. Got the game for 3 $ with a friend, totally worth it.
One of my favorite tower defense games as it mixes strategy with action. However, after having done all maps on the hardest difficulty I had to, not only find, but suffer through hours of finding and completing what probably are the worst arcade games I've ever seen (or they are trolling their customers) in order to get 100% achievements. Made me irate af. Will recommend the game though for people who enjoy tower defense and don't care about steam achievements. Tower defense: 10/10 Achievements: 2/10

+ One of the few Tower Defense + First Person Shooter hybrid games out there, Sanctum pioneered the genre and Sanctum 2 is still one of the best. - A little outdated though, but fair considering it's a decade old at this point. It's from that version of Unreal Engine that had UI that lags the game, but the game should be mostly normal FPS during the actual game, outside of the main menu. - On Linux it crashed a few times with the default steam compatibility, so I swapped to GE proton and it worked just fine. * I wish Coffee Stain Studios continued the Sanctum franchise with their current experience but I guess they are just a publisher with a factory game now.
This game fails on everything the first game worked. There is no actual endless mode, the sandbox is not a sandbox (still have limited "walls" and "towers", the maps go quickly from you trying to make a proper maze to forced long paths where you have to FPS more than manage towers. I used to love the first game and hoped for improvements, but the ONLY improvement were different characters and weapons. Hard pass, play the first more.
can we get sanctum 3 pls
REFUNDED!!! Not a bad game, just not good either. its more of a mindless rinse and repeat shooter with the same enemies continually respawning every mission as you just stand there and gun them down; you have a "core" where the enemies end up at in the end of their pathing cycle and that has so much hp its relatively hard to fail even if you go afk for awhile. The towers are semi-useless, as you cant build your own maze or path for them to go down, You can only build within the designated area or space they provide, this game is more or less just a shooter rather then a TD game.Some characters are significantly better then others such as providing BURN and continued DPS whereas other characters just dont even have that even if you use the same weapons because a specified character gets burn on all weapons. these are just a couple of examples, If you enjoy shooting games where you have support towers that dont do that much, and you like just standing in a single spot shooting the same enemies all day long, then this is the game for you
I really like this game! Too bad it took me so long to find this gem. There aren't many people online, but it is still possible to team up with someone from time to time.
Play this game, holy fook it's good! I really enjoyed this game. I played this from launch until well after the final DLC came out. I played with friends. This is one of my favorite games ever!
