The value story

It has never been cheaper than $8.49. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 33 percent off as a rule. There have been 10 in the 2 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 48 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Hades II ($29.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats Meta Ghost: Breaking Show ($17.99, scores 30).

Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 13 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 357 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 10.1 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 49, 4.8 times as much.

At 10.1 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

Most players never reach the end. On a 10.1-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

I'm conflicted with this one. On one hand, it's a very fun Hades-like coop roguelike. Lots of hours of fun to be had here. The game works best when played casually, because things start to break down on higher difficulties and targeted builds. 1) Higher difficulties = damage sponges. Enemies have so much health it slows the pace of the game down as you have to whittle health bars away - not fun. 2) Not all blessings...

72 hours in. Single player works. Co-op can have more than 30 second delay between players. bought it to game with friend. RIP money.

You can call it a hades clone but it is a really fun roguelike game. I had a blast 100% it and recommend for everybody that wants more straight forward fun experience.
