What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back

Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach350K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$2.10/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length8.1 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds9 of 584 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.54, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 65 percent off as a rule. There have been 69 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 32 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 66 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dead Cells ($24.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Dark Devotion ($19.99, scores 35).

Critics scored it 76. Players sit 10 points higher at 86 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

This site sampled 584 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 78 percent of the 591 reviews written there were positive, against 86 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

At 8.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

honestly one of my favorite rougelites I like just booting up the game and flying through the levels. I originally got this game on my xbox and saw it was on a 2$ sale so i had to get it. id say the only bad thing about this game is that after awhile the levels get a bit boring and repetitive I literally just wish this game had more levels or more level design kinda like dead cells or risk of rain where its random...

One of the hardest games i've played in a while. If you enjoy challenging games, this is the one. Not many people talk about this title, but it's a very cool concept, a little similar to celeste's movement, and hollow knight's boss fights. 10/10
