Minimum on the Steam store: 1 GB of memory, 2 GB of storage. Windows only.

The lines between good and bad have been blurred and crime and terror run rampant in the streets. The alleys, rooftops and sewers are crawling with criminals and brutal gangs. And now, Underboss — in a daring escape — has broken out of prison and is ruling with vicious darkness.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.24. That was September 2014. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 22 in the 14 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 50 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 63 percent of its genre. On the same math DC Universe™ Online (free, scores 57) and MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics ($49.99, scores 46) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

The press gave it 61; the people who bought it give it 71 percent. A 10-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 482 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 306 reviews written there were positive, against 71 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
