What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.59. That was November 2022. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 66 in the 7 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 19 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 87 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. Among the games closest to it, DOKA 2 KISHKI EDITION ($2.99, scores 65) and OMON Simulator ($0.99, scores 38) both come in lower.

Of the 415 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 89 percent of the 1,473 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 88 percent of everything written about it.
