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

What we assumed
  • Steam lists in-app purchases but we have no detail on them. Small caution applied.

Holding it back
Reviews76% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it, by SteamSpy's estimate (an old snapshot). A free game has no price to weigh, so this is its value read
MonetizationIn-app purchases
Steam lists in-app purchases and nothing more is known, so a small haircut
For context
Length5.9 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
RefundsFree
A free game cannot be refunded, so the label never applies
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It is less well reviewed than 64 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Vellum ($19.99, scores 68) and GTTOD ($29.99, scores 63) both outscore it.

HowLongToBeat players log 5.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 63, 11 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 5.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

I really like the game although I also have concerns regarding quality of life. First off all, for guns, it should tell me what kind of gun it is and what element damage it does rather than just the logo alone which is also hard to memorize, and again why is it encouraged to memorize the logos? Another concern is personally, I just want for the interact to be a tap instead of hold, it takes too much time especially...

Idk, this is one of those games I wanted to like a lot, but atm it's just not doing it for me. I obsessively grinded it at first to then just be left in the dust (like so many other decent, but I guess not worthy enough games to finish). I def think it's cause it's too repetitive - it is a roguelike, after all, and it's just not my cup of tea of a genre (still gonna recommend it in case they ever update and change...
