The value story

The lowest price on record is $6.99, set in March 2022. It has been discounted 12 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 4 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, VOIN ($19.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Vaporum ($19.99, scores 57).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 10.3-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 27 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 62 percent of the 919 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

10.3 hours to finish it, 22 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 10.3 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

I'm at the endgame and on my way to 100%ing it, I for sure don't want the game to be over yet (┬┬﹏┬┬) Someday I'll be loved like Jusztina and Ophelia loved eachother ! keep dreaming guys (^///^)

I spent far too long being lost in the labyrinth style levels to make it anywhere. Combat didn't feel good. Even after levelling up my stats, enhancing my sword, buying new stuff, using spells.. It just felt like I was wandering through this long maze with enemies that were walking damage sponges. Block also never seemed to work for me. Not a single time. But mostly it's just the level design being far too much of a...
