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): 2.14/day in the week to Aug 31 → 2.14/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 3.2/day in the week to Jul 20 → 4.17/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
About

From the creator of THE CORRIDOR comes It Takes a War - a team-based shooter with VISCERAL gunplay and RELENTLESS action. Throw yourself into RELENTLESSLY VISCERAL combat where survival is entirely dependent on communication.

I hated this game so much. It's just a grab bag of cheap gimmicks I've seen before (in Inscryption where it was done better). For some reason everyone in this game talks like Shrek which I thought would be funny, but it just got annoying. The whole tedious thing is propaganda about the British being people masked behind a morality tale. The best part of this game is that it's very short. Also it crashed once.
Multiplayer only game. No players.
One of the best games I've played in a while, really made me think about myself and others around me. Thank You.

not even gonna lie one of the best story games ive ever played. the old graphics, the atmosphere, and its just spooky enough to be spooky but not too spooky for me to piss my pants. over all great game, worth ur 5 dollarie doo's.

The only downside is getting my K/D wiped at the end all because some BUMS didn't know how to get along
An interesting game about online gaming, shooters, and online friendships. While the meta aspect is not the most original, it still executes them well enough to work well with it's intension, while also maintaining a good pace on the story and themes it tries to communicate. Overall, enjoyed this a lot, was a unique experience, if you enjoy short games with interesting stories that make full use of the medium of games to tell them, you will probably enjoy this one.
