The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was August 2025. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 29 percent on value. It is pricier than 68 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 80 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Door Kickers ($19.99, scores 92) beats it on value, while it beats Party Hard 2 ($19.99, scores 38).

Of the 546 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written July 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 415 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

7.4 hours to finish it, 19 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.6 times the campaign.
