  • Thanks Guys - 12 September 2018

    Hey guys, Thanks to everyone who participated in the last sale. The game was able to cross the 200 sales mark, so I really appreciate it. I went ahead and reduced the regular price to $3.99. If you have any feedback or criticism of the game, me and other gamers would love to hear it. I'll definitely keep trying to improve the game or at the least, use the feedback on future games. Right now I was working on an update. However, it's pretty big and ambitious, with a lot of re-designs, so I might have to leave it for the sequel. I might try to just use some of the new features on this game, sort of what Capcom did with the omega mode in SF4, where they tested a lot of features that actually went to SF5. I'll definitely keep you guys posted. Thanks again guys, Pedro.

  • Spanish Version Release - 15 August 2018

    Hi everyone, I released a new patch that adds Spanish language support and has various bug fixes. I submitted a special promotion for this release.

  • Update before Summer Sale 2018 - 19 June 2018

I would love to hear any feedback you guys may have. Thanks, Pedro.

Short description

The 2D RPG where you can't use items in battle. Follow Captain Yusef and his team on their quest to find the source of the monster spawning portal in this turn-based RPG.

About this game

During the first world war, a mysterious portal appeared at the top of the mountain of Rondo. Monsters were crawled out of this portal and started attacking all the humans, from all nations. The nations put aside their differences and entered a covenant, with the hope of finding and destroying the source of this portal. Captain Yusef Athros, from the Sylon empire, has been exploring the Castian Sea, and has just received an order to head to Lavinan Island. What will captain Yusef find in this island? By Any Means Necessary is a 2D Turn-based RPG. Game Features Trigger additional round actions by meeting battle requirements. These can include having certain combinations of status effects or the current status of the team. Scroll system to enhance character stats and abilities. No items can be used in battle. Rely on the character's abilities to complete your quest. Multiple side quests. Find the hidden dungeon, collect the most powerful scrolls, hunt beasts in the Norsfolk swamp and defeat all the monsters in the Pet Arena.

Steam marketplace comparison data

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

By Any Means Necessary'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

By Any Means Necessary'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 By Any Means Necessary 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.
