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

Holding it back

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was June 2024. It has been discounted 38 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 11 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 86 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter ($14.99, scores 69) beats it on value, while it beats Pixel Strike 3D (free, scores 34).

Players rate it 83 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 74 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 24 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 2,323 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

At 5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

I have played this game since the beginning, and while it's a very On-and Off moments of gameplay, I always have a blast with my friends WHEN it works, the art direction is so vibrant and fun, the actual gunplay feels very nice, the music is great, BUT there's a massive glaring issue when it comes to this, which pains me to say "I can't recommend this to new players" that being the Lag, and the bugs, and the...

Easy to pick up, easy to get into the finer tuned mechanics of things - I picked this up on a whim and ended up really liking it so far. Definitely satisfying and one of the more fun FPS games I've played.
