Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Basingstoke
Basingstoke is an indie action-adventure where you juggle two playable characters in real-time isometric combat. The gimmick is solid: swap between them on the fly to chain attacks, manage positioning, and solve light puzzle scenarios. It's the kind of game that works best if you accept its rough edges as part of the charm rather than a bug list. The art style is intentionally lo-fi, the story leans into absurdist British humor, and the two-character system forces you to think tactically instead of just button-mashing. Where it stumbles: combat can feel sluggish, level design is functional rather than inspired, and the novelty of character-swapping carries the whole thing. If you're hunting for tight, polished action, this isn't it. But if you enjoy scrappy indie experiments with a genuine hook and don't mind uneven production values, there's enough here to justify an afternoon. Best for players who value creative mechanics over AAA shine.
