Why War?

Short description

Why War? is a 2D shooter adventure game about two soldiers from different sides who don't understand why they are fighting each other, so instead they break all the rules and team up to stop the war. You are trying to destroy the leaders in both sides and prove that war isn't the solution to any problem.

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by the $2.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
