Minimum on the Steam store: DX10, DX11, DX12 capable.. Windows only.

A fast-paced micro FPS in which The Chop Goblins are loose, chopping their way through time itself in their ravenous quest for cheese. And THE CHOP WILL NOT STOP.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was March 2026. It has been discounted 34 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago. Past sales have already crossed the $3.98 BANGER line 24 times.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is cheaper than 84 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. The nearest things to it, Fashion Police Squad ($4.99, scores 73) and DUSK ($19.99, scores 75), are both worse buys on this math.

Steam's global achievement data puts 48 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 365 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 97 percent of the 1,581 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 55 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 1 hours; clearing it takes 3, which is 2.6 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 1 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say

Five unique levels with fun weapons, enemies and music. What more could anyone want from a boomer shooter? Some secrets are veeery hard to find or get to. Bad: no saving means you spend 15-30min with a level only to die to the boss and the entire level resets. Not a biggie with normal difficulty, but enemies deal a lot of damage on highest so doing that last achievement is gonna take a lot of time. No thanks.

this is a very fun game you will probably get about an hour out of it but id say theres definetly atleast 5 if you play it again on higher difficulty and play the remix levels if you liked dusk defintely play it. the guns feel good bit simple but not to a fault its on sale often overall very charming and if you get it on sale definetly worth it 8/10

i bought this game for a guy i dated once who acted like it was one of the hardest games hes ever played. i dont think it's that difficult and i also don't get into a discord erelationship polycule with racists, but i do agree with the fact that the game is pretty good.
