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 Aug 22 → 0.71/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.

Yes, this game at this moment in time is not great. But its potential most definitely is! I was a little confused at first by what the game was trying to be, until it became evident it's a souls-like game with a WW1 aesthetic (just aesthetic though; the universe is otherwise fictional). It's certainly unique though I personally would have preferred toning down the fantasy elements, and just putting more emphasis on the war aspects. IMO those alone are what really makes this early access title stick out. That aside, the game is still surprisingly enticing for what it is. The world is compelling to explore, with much detail put into the environments. The trenches are very grimy, and there's no shortage of guts and corpses. The combat is solid, with each gun packing a different punch while not being too clunky to control. Thankfully, it was scarce enough not to hinder the exploration, but regular enough not to be lifeless. Despite its positive aspects, it's still very much early access. While relatively playable, it's confusing and broken to a significant degree. Navigation is often hindered by the map's unexplored fog always reseting upon each game reload (though at least the save shrines and objective markers do not). Glitches, such as the mouse cursor not disappearing after NPC conversations, are fairly frequent. The sound and ambience also feels quite unbalanced, making one feel like there's a lot going on in an environment where there is really nothing there. Enemies also are easily alerted by the player when they themselves are far away and barely visible, which makes stealth and tactics basically impossible for now. Also, does the Skills tab even work?? Despite being pretty rough around the edges, I am enjoying the experience so far. A souls-like war setting is honestly something I've always wanted, and sprinkling it with hellish muddy WW1 atmosphere was a terrific idea. I really hope the Devs commit to this, because if done right this could become something truly special!

This game is DIGITAL ART, i would say is even is a POTENTIAL GEM, lets give to the dev the help that he needs to keep updating this MASTER PIECE, PROST! 🍺
I saw some early gameplay of this and decided to try it out myself while Im not super into it yet i can say first glimpse its super promising while their is still some work to do in regards of some optimization and finding voice actors and fix some of the stock sound affects the gameplay and artstyle will carry this game-the loop is interesting and while ive only been in a handfull of fire fights i like how unique the combat feels and how new it feels and to note i think the lore while complicated is alluring
Hola, lo compré por una traducción al español, que hay , pero no funciona,. Pues nada, no entiendo la lengua de los ladrones de Gibraltar, NO IDIOMA ESPAÑOL. Pues eso, nada, nada
Ey was für ein Game :D Klar is es noch in der Early Phase aber Junge, die Atmosphäre, die Welt und die Optische Darstellung sind sehr, SEHR passend. Man erkennt an jeder Ecke das Potenzial dieses Spiels. Aktuell ist mit Kontroller zu spielen eine reine Katastrophe aber ich bin zuversichtlich das die Entwickler das noch richtig stellen werden. Gameplay im allgemeinen ist gerade ok bis clunky. Nochmal zu der Atmosphäre dieses Spiels: Ich hab mich dabei erwischt wie ich oft geduckt um ja keine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen unterwegs war und von Deckung zu Deckung gerannt bin um kein sicheres Futter für Scharfschützen oder MG Nester zu sein. Was schlicht zurzeit und bis zu meinem Spielpunkt nicht notwendig ist/war da man am Anfang nur hin und wieder auf kleinere Wachposten und Camps trifft. Aber genau das ist der Punkt, die Darstellung der Welt, die Soundkulisse, der Aufbau der Welt sind in meiner Erfahrung einmalig und tragen aktuell schon soviel zum Game bei das man sich wirklich fragen muss wie wird das erst zu 1.0 Version sein. Dauernd geduckt und Schulterperspektiven wechselnd wird durch die schlammigen vom Krieg gezeichneten Schützengräben gewartet, immer das Gewehr auf Anschlag und bereit alles mir Feindlich gesinnte sofort zu erschießen oder mit dem Bajonett hobs zu nehmen. Man kann die Angst und Verzweiflung praktisch selbst fühlen wen man sich auf die Atmo einlassen kann, was im aktuellen Stand der Entwicklung noch schwer sein kann da die Spannung und Atmosphäre durch den derzeitigen Entwicklungsstand und den damit einhergehenden "Problemen" noch leiden. (Hier möchte ich nochmal darauf Aufmerksam machen das dieses Spiel noch EA ist und jeder der nicht weis was das bedeutet, dieses mal nachschlagen sollte und dann seine Bewertung überdenken sollte.) Ich finde das Game Bombe und bereue keinen Cent davon. Freue mich schon auf Zukünftige Updates bzw den Entwicklungsverlauf und wo uns die Entwickler noch hin führen werden. Für alle die wirklich verstehen was in einem EA auf Sie zukommt empfehle ich das Spiel jetzt schon das jetzt schon ein super Game ist wen die Erwartungshaltung dementsprechend ist. Für alle die 'hier ein Einwandfreies Spiel Erlebnis erwarten und noch immer nicht den Sinn von EA begriffen haben Finger weg, ihr werdet keine Freude haben und dem Spiel mit euren schlechten Bewertungen nur schaden. Ausgeglichene Bewertungen stand 09.Juni.2026 sind eine Absolute Frechheit meiner Meinung nach. Absolute Liebe an die Entwickler, bitte unbedingt dran bleiben, dieses Spiel kann fast nur Mega werden :)
A little rough around the edges, but a fun atmospheric third person shooter.
чёт не оч. продукт ароматизированный, ароматизатор идентичен натуральному
great game did almost everything but get all the guns and upgrades and other equipment so not everything
Seen this game on kickstarter, and thought why not give it a chance. After the last 2 years of uninspiring and inconsistent updates, where most of the effort seems to be the UNREAL ENGINE visuals, this game is not at a good state. Considering how it has been 2 years and most of the gameplay is very slugish, buggy and the sound effects are very bad/broken. For an indie game, the amount of time this has spent in early access is unnaceptable. I understand the dev is doing this as a solo effort, but the scope should have been much smaller.
Разочарование, недоделанный кусок кода.
