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 Ninja or Die: Shadow of the Sun
Ninja or Die strips roguelites down to pure momentum. You're flinging yourself across fragmented stages using acrobatic jumps as both movement and attack, chaining kills to build speed multipliers before the next unavoidable hit resets your run. It's unforgiving by design: no dodging, no blocking, just commitment to trajectory and timing. The Edo Japan setting and folklore flavoring give it character, but this is really about mastering rhythm and muscle memory over narrative. The game works best for players who love one-more-run addiction loops and speedrunning mentality. Death comes fast and often, which some will find frustrating and others will call perfect. If you respect games that don't hold your hand and reward pattern recognition, Shadow of the Sun scratches that specific itch well.
