The value story
August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $8.99. It has been discounted 20 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 35 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 43 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor ($12.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats The Spell Brigade ($8.70, scores 56).
22 of the 765 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 357 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.
HowLongToBeat players log 2.8 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 50, 18 times as much.
At 2.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Mid. None of the starting items are interesting, none of them have synergies. The only build I can make is with on death effects. Might be worth it if it was ~$2-5, but not $15. Just get Risk of Rain.
