The value story

The lowest price on record is $1.59, set in August 2022. It has been discounted 38 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Vampire Survivors ($4.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors ($9.99, scores 49).

Of the 483 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 574 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.
