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 13 → 1.29/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.

好玩,但我必须告诉你的是这款游戏有很多设计都是为了延长游玩时长用的 比如主线打了几章就要去打支线,所花费的大量时间基本都用在刷装备和升级,对比玩过手机版来说比较坐牢,因为手机版开局会送一些强力单位,但是MSAR把大部分的单位砍了(我的幻影爱丽丝) 所以你如果没有玩过手机版但是对于合金弹头比较感兴趣可以尝试一下,如果只是单纯的想看剧情,直接上修改器就行了
I didn't play the original, but I gotta say this was enjoyable for the first 15 hours. The pixel-art is amazing, and the different units are very cool and unique. I especially like the carnivorous plant that duplicates itself when using its special ability. My main problem lies with how economy is handled in a round. When you haven't upgraded your income much in the upgrades menu, the game has a much slower pace where you get to time your units' special abilities. As you get further and have a much faster income, the game instead forces you to spam units senselessly. In a game where the combat is so simple, you need the player's choices to matter and feel impactful. I rarely got that feeling after those first 15 hours, as all I could do is click deploy on all units I could afford without thinking. Overall, the game is still good enough to buy at a discount (like 60% or more) considering the staggering amount of attention to detail in the visuals.
corrijo mi reseña el juego al inicio representa una dificultad por que uno no sabe que hacer sin la opcion de comprar medallas sin embargo si se dedica algo de tiempo a armar unos buenos decks de cada faccion se siente una progresion mas sencilla. Es un buen juego para los que nos gustan las waifus y somos veteranos de la version movil. recomendado definitivamente
Buy it for the museum of pixel art and animations The game itself is a grind but I expected that it's a previously mobile game turned offline playable so 90% of the gameplay loop is gathering items to upgrade units. I enjoyed it got almost every achievement but one. My only gripe is the amount of anime waifu's that don't even fit the artstyle. You will eventually have to use a whole roster of them to do the extreme missions but it's still fun gameplay.
