About the game

KUNAI is a quirky, fast-paced action platformer. You play as Tabby, a tablet who joins the fight against a robot uprising. Use your kunai and ninja parkour skills to stop Lemonkus, the A.I.-gone-evil that almost wiped out all human life.

The value story

Across all 48 discounts in the 7 years tracked, the median cut is 60 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 24 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Iconoclasts ($19.99, scores 59) outscores it, and so does Gato Roboto ($1.19, scores 93). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Pros: -A metrovania that makes you use of all the tools you got like the kunai for climbing walls, shurikens for stunning enemies and opening doors, SMGs for hovering and a rocket launcher for blowing up rocks. -Like the muted, retro look has while still giving each area a distinct look and colour and that friend and foe can be seen with them being red or blue. -Bosses are pretty good, each requiring different...

Okay music and art but poor level design, terrible combat and frustrating movement make for a poor experience. Hard to recommend even on a hefty sale.
