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
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $20.99. That was August 2025. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 9 in the 2 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. ATLYSS ($4.99, scores 92) outscores it, and so does Ashen ($39.99, scores 15). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
Of the 300 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 35 percent of the 981 reviews written there were positive, against 53 percent overall, and those are 29 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 6 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
This game had always looked interesting to me. bought it just for them to end development days later. Will likely never purchase a title from these devs again
Wish I can still refund this. the original Hyper Light Drifter was great but this one was mid at best and still have unstable performance sometimes. They also stopped developing the game and went hiatus a couple months without finally putting the announcement that almost feel like they just took the money and ran
the game is basically dead, its in early access and will probably never get the love it deserves
