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.

Fun Ace Combat like gamplay but very one-note.

This game reminded me of a roguelike-ized version of Aero Fighters Assault for the N64, so I bought it. It's kinda fun, but it's just far too bare-bones - even for the $1 I paid on sale. The first bunch of waves are also very boring and samey, so it takes way too long for things to become interesting. I could forgive the lack of production value if it just gave me a burning itch to instantly restart every time I died, but sadly it doesn't. I'll be refunding this and will later likely buy the non-tech-demo version of this game the developer appears to have listed on Steam.
recomendo excelente pra passar o tempo
Etselente, cada minuto ha sido entretenido, my pc no requirio de mucha ram para poder disfrutar de un avion de combate 10/10, espero agregen mas aviones !! Por favor
