at full price.
Worth it at $1.49.
A fair value now, it won't reach BANGER at any price.
$0.15/hr over the 9.9h main story, $0.06/hr if you 100% it (26.1h).

Better value than 99% of Strategy games

Enter the Samurai Afterlife and join forces with vibrant ghost-samurai warriors, magical animal monks, and mustachioed samurai generals. It's fast-paced turn-based strategy inspired by Advance Wars, and supercharged with fighting-game flare!
