Bardbarian

Short description

You play as Brad the barbarian, who is awoken to the sounds of his town under siege. Today is different though; Brad has grown tired of fighting all the time. The usual grind for XP has grown dull, and he has decided to pursue his dreams of making music instead of shedding blood.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by $6.33, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $7.99 launch price. That is 21% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.

Price $3.99 → $3.99

The blurred area is the rest of the history. 307 further data points reach back to Apr 1, 2014 — your plan shows the last 90 days of it. How far each series in particular reaches is written on its own chart; not every one of them goes back that far. The shape in the blurred area is decoration, not data: the figures are not in this page at all. Plus unlocks the complete series.

Lowest recorded price: $1.19 on Jul 6, 2015.
