  • Game should no longer crash if your Steam alias contains funny characters - 13 September 2015

    Apparently game crashed when trying to draw characters which wasn't loaded in the font. Now non-standard characters will be cut from your alias, and if it's all funny characters you will have to use one of the default names, or change the alias :)

  • Note: The game currently does not work on Windows 10 - 3 September 2015

    This is because apparently the Windows Media Player in Windows 10 isn't working with XNA, which it use to play music. A fix is coming in a near future!

  • Hopefully last bug fixing patch :P - 3 May 2015

    The collision checking should no longer randomly fail to execute. Fixed a problem with the ability Slam, which was introduced when I let the player aim while casting spells. Should no longer lose any settings when resizing the window in the menu. Warning - technical rambling: I finally managed to reproduce the collision problems through a lot of angry clicking and tabbing on game load. Then it took me a couple of hours to realize that the image data failed to load correctly. Apparently I hadn't considered that the sound loading and image loading were using the same resource loader, so I had only made the texture loader thread safe (able to process multiple images at the same time) on its own. If you were unlucky an image and a sound would try to load at the same time, which XNA content pipe doesn't support. You would then get corrupt image data, which messed up the collision checker.

  • Fixed some stuff - 19 April 2015

    You can now play in window mode. You can now aim while casting spells. Bosses drop healing globes, which restore you to full health. A hint has been added at the wave where you encounter the shielded enemies that you can hold attack for a charged strike. Simplified collision code and added error checking, hopefully removing the rare bug where occasionally no collisions occurred.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

The Defenders: The Second Wave's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The Defenders: The Second Wave's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Defenders: The Second Wave at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
