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): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.57/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.

it was a simpler time
I only played Commander Keen 4 and 5. Having originally played Keen 4 and 6, they were the main ones that interested me. In the case of Keen 4, it was an enjoyable trip down memory lane while Keen 5 provided a new experience. Too bad Keen 6 is not included. The Commander Keen games are pioneers of smooth scrolling 2D platformers on the PC and for this reason alone this game is recommended.
[h1] Primeras impresiones [/h1] [hr][/hr] Cuesta jugar al inicio, y a pesar de su simpleza, es un clásico de ir avanzando a tiros. A pesar de sus escasos graficos, tiene su carisma. Usar mapas es un detallazo para contar la historia. Lo único malo es que puede volverse un poco repetitivo. En ocasiones era injusto.

Honestly, I would never assume that pack of thirty years old executables will still work, especially under Proton, but... Dosbox does it job, so you can actually play all of these. No point talking about actual games. It is Commander Keen, duh... Ancient platformer largely overshadowed by fact, that same studio released Wolf 3D and subsequently DOOM and Quake....

Лучший шутер от идэ
어차피 아는 사람만 구입할테니, 후회할 일 없습니다. 잘 만든 게임이죠. 플랫포머 스타일을 좋아하는 게이머라면, 요즘 게이머가 하기에도 괜찮은 편에 속합니다.
El UNICO juego que me devuelve a mi infancia. Lástima que id Software no siguió lanzando juegos como estos. Ojo, me encanta Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM y Quiake, pero sin Commander Keen, id Software no hubiera existido.
Klassiker und in meinem Leben habe ich die Teile 4 - 6 schon mehrfach durchgespielt. Sehr solides Jump & Run mit einem echt hohen Schwierigkeitsgrad, zumindest in den späteren Levels. Der mitgelieferte DosBox Editor muss ein wenig gepimpt werden, aber sonst läuft es auf aktuellen Systemen wirklich Top!
