The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.84, set in September 2024. It has been discounted 40 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 55 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 6 percent on value. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, CastleStorm ($9.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Regular Human Workshop ($9.99, scores 59).

The press gave it 78; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. A 13-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 367 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 272 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 36 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 2.3 hours; clearing it takes 7, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 2.3 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

PLAY THIS GAME. I spent hours playing this with my father. the gameplay kept us well engaged, and the story had us chuckling the whole way I could not have asked for a better spiritual successor to rampage. The controls are intuitive, the gameplay is fun, the physics are SO satisfying the story is witty, and if necessary very easily mashed through I love all the monsters, and i need a plush of Hemasaurus 11/10 game...

Now while I don't recommend this game personally, that isn't to say I didn't have some fun with it. I think it has both good and bad aspects to it, and I do like that someone is trying to make a game in the vein of Rampage, and the monster designs and pixel art is all very nice. Hemasaurus looks quite goofy on the key art, and he looks just as silly in the game itself. I did find the way the buildings can flop...
