It's worth noting that this is available in Killer Bundle 30 via Fanatical for $20.
So, for $15 more, you would also get games like DMC 4 Special Edition, Dragon's Dogma, River City Girls Zero, Super Crazy Rhythm Castle, Rain World and it's DLC, GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon, etc.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

DO NOT buy this.

It's a GREAT game, and will suck you in. I lost a year of my life to this. When I came out of it, my wife looked at me like I was a stranger.

There's no plot and you just play a randomly generated series of things and keep fingers crossed you get the high score. It's pure addictive tar hero-in that will leave you feeling GREAT after each run, wanting another, and when you finally kick the habit you've wasted a chunk of your life.

I'm getting twitchy just thinking about it.

This game has a plot: You are tasked with guiding the train through Hell to relight the Pyres of Hell.
Also, the neither stages nor the enemies are random.

If you want to save a few pennies you can pick this up on CD Keys for $4.59. Plus you should be able to find cashback and likely coupon codes for CD Keys. I've never had a problem when buying a code from them.

To add on to this - CDkeys is completely fine (I use it myself) - but when the price is this close, I usually just buy through Steam. That way if you buy and absolutely hate the game, you always have the option to get a refund.

Sounds like what slay the spire did to me... I will appreciate the warning and stay well away.

It's a shame but unless we live in a vacuum it's hard not to look back at these 300+ hour time vampire games as mistakes..
