The value story

December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $8.99. It has been discounted 25 times in the 3 years tracked here, typically at 42 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 5 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 21 percent on value. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Rampage Knights ($12.99, scores 78) beats it on value, while it beats 30XX ($19.99, scores 72).

Of the 466 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 4 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 193 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 8.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 44, 4.9 times as much.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Very similar to dead cells in how the combat feels and various mechanics. Lots of content here if you keep working on the various alert levels. I hope this developer continues creating games.
