What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Reach3.5M+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

For context
Refunds0 of 497 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

What players say

What was once a good 2D side scrolling PvP platformer. - PvP matches - Unfortunately its not very active and hard to find players these days. - Lack of players can be made up for with using bots, but that's a little laborious. - Kill to collect for upgrades. - Destroy the enemy turrets before they do yours. - The MOBA aspects are great. - Nice designs and skins. - Lots of heroes to choose from with there own unique...

Had a lot of fun with this game back in 2023 and before, would really like it to come back. Great MOBA for beginners.
MegaMaverick41TTVRecommendedafter 235hAug 2026Read on Steam
The remains of what was once a wonderful game. Core memories were formed playing this niche title, but the game hasn't been touched in any real capacity in several years. To top it off, what little remains of the community is exceedingly toxic and unwelcoming to newer players, actively ruining what little there is left to experience. It saddens me to say that the game is well and truly dead.
