The value story
Across all 27 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 45 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is pricier than 80 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Vellum ($9.99, scores 68) and Risk of Rain 2 ($8.24, scores 88) both outscore it.

What players say
The game was genuinely fun and quite fun with friends. However, they abandoned their community and game. They went radio silent in 2023. Don't bother giving them anymore funds unless its 75% off or more.

Only buy it if you can get a really deep discount. I am stupid so I bought it full price thinking it would be a fun game that the devs actually work on. It never really got much traction though and eventually I just stopped playing. These types of games make me never want to trust indie devs unless the game has already gotten great reviews.
While this game is fun, and I would give this a thumbs up, as of right now I believe that this is abandonware. It has been about a year since the last update, and there are incomplete mechanics in the game currently. It is playable, and can be fun with friends, but it needs work that likely won't ever come.
