The game and the price complaints

[maloce]

I see someone keep mentioning this was once a mobile game. Many other games have started there to end up on pc and consoles, like Oceanhorn, and it was released 15 dollars a long time ago.

I think people are having a hard time understanding the inflation we've been through in western countries. No where is it more evident to me than going to buy groceries or eat out.

This game is pretty amazing. Great graphics and gameplay definitely inspired by Hades. Unlike Oceanhoen, its fully voiced.

I have this on switch and was blown away, but in heavy areas, fps tanks.

Right now this game is less than 30 usd and I don't get how people are saying that's expensive.

Are you guys grown ups?

Pricy for an apple arcade port

I was happy to pay like 15$ max but 35 for this?

There is so many good roguelites for half of that.

very expensive

w h a t t ? ? this is very expensive

sshhh

- mobile phone port
- more than 1h of gameplay (means 2h max)
- plenty of *useless* content (you could beat the demo -which was 1/2 of the full game- in 15-20 minutes just with the basic attacks if you have ever dashed in a top-down hack & slash game before)
- more content is coming (see 30 more minutes of game), but it will cost you $15 more.

is it? im usually the one complaining on forums about the prices being too high, but here the price is adequate. i honestly think the price is good.

this game is twice as cheap as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, and also cheaper than G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra. i consider each of these games to be way too expensive.

so i think youre exaggerating.

by your logic the game costs the same as Hades and Hades 2, so one would be really stupid not getting those instead.

There is much more than an hour or two of gameplay! Can promise that mate!

I remember watching this review from Mr Matty Plays, it convinced me to get the switch one. I am glad it's now on here, because it can feel like it's dropping to 15 fps on there lol.

$40 for me. I really don't think I'll get anywhere near 40 hours of it. $20 seems much more reasonable.

Yeah, this is reminding me of some criticism Shredder's Revenge had too. Different genre, but similar situations. The length of both beat-em-ups and roguelikes are usually short, but they're highly replayable.

I just left a positive review, noting that the price seems fair considering 1) the quality of the game, 2) the replayability, and 3) the license must be expensive. We don't get many TMNT games, especially great ones like this, so you guys get my support.

High five to you and your team, JuJu! Thanks for the excellent game.

Entitled gamers these days. Because there's so much more entertainment and media in your life where you get 1 hour for $1 right?

That's not the worst way to guage how much value you get out of a game, as long as you're having fun the entire time. For games likes this, if you beat a game the first time through, and have no desire to replay it again, then I get why people would be genuinely disappointed, because you only did get 1-2 hours of fun for 40$.

For a game like this, or multiplayer focused games like fighting games, you have to measure it by the total time spent playing the game, rather than how long it took to beat the campaign/arcade the first time through.

Only in Dimension X would 25€ be considered "very expensive". Most people in the west make that kind of money with just one or two hours of labor, which sounds like a fair exchange. In terms of '90s prices, this would be equivalent to just around 10€. I'd buy it if it I didn't have a backlog of games to finish.

25€ is a lot of money to invest in just one game, when you can buy multiple games that are probably higher quality than this licensed game here for the same 25€. I've got recommendations for days outside of First Person Shooters, Third Person Shooters, RTS, Visual Novels, and Sports games.

If you want a game similar to TMNT SF here, you could try Ember Knights, it's a rogue like that supports 4 player local, and you can play with up to 4 people online too. Its full price is 20$ USD, and it's usually on sale for 10$.
