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.

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.

For what the game is I had a really good time. Not great to be specific the gameplay could've been implemented better. As an almost throw back to when indie games felt personal it's a short nostalgic trip back. Overal a 6/10 7/10 for any emotional biasis towards it.
This is good, pretty short, but well made.
I thoroughly enjoyed that ^^. Not really much more to say... I you have some time to spare, this is a very safe bet ^^

I want to cry
I don't go out of my way to review most things. I am making a point of reviewing this one, because it's absolute art. Very well written. Great design. Great acting. High fives all around to everyone involved. I won't spoil anything (even though some of it has been by some other reviews), but I will emphatically recommend this to anyone that has ever played a multiplayer game.
It Takes A War has taken my breath. go play it stop looking at reviews.
This was a cool idea but damn it stumbled on everything and charged 6 bucks for an experience you can only get 40 minutes out of. The story is about losing friends but anyone who isn't in high school anymore is already used to this but the game is built for people who played old school counterstrike and that age group is aged out of this really having a deep effect. Also i know its not the focus but the gameplay is possibly the worst fps gameplay I have ever seen and genuinely made trying to find any effect in the story impossible because i couldn't get into the game at all. Also the weird beach scenes are useless to me they just felt dropped in outta nowhere but 1 positive the knocking after the game closed scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me too bad its not a horror during any other moment.
great shooter, nice old style, it's an old game done again, but done well. The community is really nice.
Friend recommended this to me, I went in completely blind, you should too
Don't read anymore, just play it.
