Does this game ever go on a proper sale?

[Hank Hill's Disappointed Sigh]

Feel like its been on my wishlist for a few years and the biggest dip Ive seen was like 20%.
Hollow Knight is on sale for $7 right now... and that game is a dang masterpiece.
So whats the deal with Shovel Knight never taking a dip in price?

[Dark Judas]

just buy it. it's worth the money

It is a little bit hard to talk of the sale history of this game, because they added content over time, while also increasing the price.

But if you had it in your sights for years, you had chances to get it for under 20 or even under 10.
Right now some standalone campaigns of the game are also 50% off.

Huh I must have missed those. Well I'll keep on the look out then. Thanks

you have to realize its basically 4 1/2 full games now

It's weird in that this game got more expensive as they added the extra game packs. Was around $15 when it came out and all the extra packs were free for it. Now it's always listed at $25 or more so people are likely paying for the extra packs.

Dont think the price hike was wierd at all. They did say at the beginning it would happen. So people with the suprised Pikachu faces at the pricetag have probably just not heard the news that far back.

They said it years later, not in the beginning

Can confirm, they said it somewhere around the time of Specter of Torment's release.

True, I'd imagine they had to recoup costs somehow.

shovel knight will last you far more than hollow knight

They had a -50% off right before it went from $25 to $40 (which coincided with adding the fourth campaign and the platform fighter mode). At least you can buy almost everything standalone, and in fact the bundle is in some regions more affordable than this one (you do miss out on one of the campaigns, but it's considered the weakest one).

But yeah, this is pretty expensive by indie standards. Fanboys and fangirls will tell you it's because it includes 4 campaigns, which is technically true, but pound for pound it's still quite a bit for a bunch of (mostly) linear, albeit well polished platformers.

This isn't even true for content out of the box, and HK also has a metric crapton of mods if you do everything possible in the game and want even more.

I have not played HK yet, but based on HowLongToBeat what you say is true.

That being said I rather play short games over and over than a long game twice
