The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was February 2026. Its cuts run 45 percent off as a rule. There have been 40 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 60 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia ($7.49, scores 53) beats it on value, while it beats GRAVEN ($24.99, scores 0).

Of the 764 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 409 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 9.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 26, 2.6 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 9.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

It is a surprisingly enjoyable blend of souls-like combat and action RPG progression, wrapped in a rich and atmospheric Greek mythology setting.

I believed that the era of producing good games like this one ended after the PS2 generation. However, I may have been mistaken. 9/10

bought this game for myself and gifted it to two of my friends, i should have read more about this game before buying it, we thought this game is similar to diablo we wanted to go for an adventure like the old days with some beers and a pizza, it turns out we cant pay co-op story mode, just some endless challenges with no sense of adventure, it was such a turn off, the game has nothing special as single player...
