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.

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.

Still in the middle of this at 6 hours, but having a blast with this indie SRPG / FF Tactics-like (or Fire Emblem)! So far, the difficulty is just right (playing on normal), the characters & story are very intriguing and the dialogue flows really naturally. I played and loved Dark Deity 2 before this, but this is just as much of a great indie SPRG as DD2! Highly recommended!
Nice game! As a strategy turn base game, it has a quite good quality. It has a variety unit choices, and each character has his/own traits. And those traits are unique which adds more build up spaces for different styles. The music is, to my surprise, quite well. As to the storyline, it is good enough, although plot is little bit foreseeable after several chapters, but still a good one. All in all, it is a nice strategy game for those who loves fire elbum alike series. It seems the 2nd scenario will be out soon. I will definitely give it a try. Nice job!
It’s a great game—it even has a much better story than I expected from a solo developer. Since I enjoyed most aspects of it, I figure I might as well point out a few things I didn't like as much. Class and weapon balance aren't in a particularly good state, in my opinion. Maybe that's partly because I started blind on brutal difficulty before doing any research, but some weapons are simply far superior to others. The same goes for the classes. The reset-on-kill mechanic is absurdly strong. While I really love the zone of control and flanking systems—they're awesome—they make the Enlightened class feel almost mandatory on at least two characters. It’s crazy how much easier the game becomes once you run two Enlightened characters equipped with the Dove accessory. I also wish the SS-ranked named weapons were straight upgrades over their S-ranked counterparts. In the end, I only used the Maul as a secondary on one character; for everything else, the Crucible versions were just plain better. That felt like a disappointment, especially given that SS weapons cost almost double to max out. Despite these flaws, the gameplay is incredibly engaging and addictive. I had a blast playing through it, even with the early struggles of figuring out what works. I'll definitely buy the sequel on release day this time, and hopefully, the class and weapon balance will be in a better spot.
This game is feels good to play. The story is engaging, and character build have a surprising amount of depth. The game would benefit from a dialogue history feature and a dialogue scroll feature. Excellent value for anyone that enjoys fire emblem style games.
A solid tactics game from a solo indie dev.
Really enjoyed this game
不錯的佳作,雖然沒有法師讓我覺得很可惜,只好扎扎實實的舞刀弄槍,武器等級還是滿難練的,道具部分弄得滿簡潔的不複雜,不需要花太多時間在裝備整理,每個基礎職業一轉之後可以選擇三種職業,而二轉職業並不會被你一轉職業限制住,一樣可以三選一,所以在技能搭配上有個多可能性,再加上每個人物的特色技能搭配可以有更多玩法。
