The value story

It has never been cheaper than $9.49. That was March 2026. Its cuts run 33 percent off as a rule. There have been 12 in the 17 months tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 3 days ago.

It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Space Pirates And Zombies 2 ($19.99, scores 51) beats it on value, while it beats Cepheus Protocol ($19.99, scores 27).

8 of the 540 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 158 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

The drop-off

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
