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): 0.71/day in the week to Jul 24 → 1/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.

Reviews
This game is great! Awesome mix of strategy, tactics, and story. Loved the artwork and the special skills for each type of fighter.
Excellent Fire Emblem-like. There is enough customization to feel like you can build a variety of different builds without feeling overwhelmed. I enjoyed the prep before the chapter just as much as actually playing it. Gameplay is extremely satisfying, especially when you manage to kill swaths of enemies with one or two units. The story surprised me by being much more solid than I expected from a single dev. I loved that there was no 'right' answer when you needed to make a choice near the end of the game. This game is well worth the money, even when it's not on sale.

This game is so good! I'm looking forward to TWR 2, certainly, I had a wonderful time diving into the strategical challenges in this.
不错的战棋游戏,但是没有中文
Great Indie fire emblem type game.
Still in the middle of this at 6 hours, but having a blast with this indie SRPG / FF Tactics-like (or Fire Emblem)! So far, the difficulty is just right (playing on normal), the characters & story are very intriguing and the dialogue flows really naturally. I played and loved Dark Deity 2 before this, but this is just as much of a great indie SPRG as DD2! Highly recommended!
Nice game! As a strategy turn base game, it has a quite good quality. It has a variety unit choices, and each character has his/own traits. And those traits are unique which adds more build up spaces for different styles. The music is, to my surprise, quite well. As to the storyline, it is good enough, although plot is little bit foreseeable after several chapters, but still a good one. All in all, it is a nice strategy game for those who loves fire elbum alike series. It seems the 2nd scenario will be out soon. I will definitely give it a try. Nice job!
This is the first review I have ever posted. I liked this game so much I had to write one. I’ve been looking for a strategy RPG to give me that Fire Emblem fix without being Fire Emblem. This game not only gave me that, but so much more. I love the hexagonal grid. That alone adds so much more depth and consideration into each move. Each character has their own unique ability and the way the classes evolve really add another layer and a lot of possibilities into how you build a character. For being a solo dev, you really knocked this one out of the park. I enjoyed every second of this SRPG.
This game is feels good to play. The story is engaging, and character build have a surprising amount of depth. The game would benefit from a dialogue history feature and a dialogue scroll feature. Excellent value for anyone that enjoys fire emblem style games.
A solid tactics game from a solo indie dev.
