The value story
October 2018 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. 15 discounts in the 14 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 20 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 377 weeks ago.
On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 75 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Brutal Legend ($2.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Viking: Battle for Asgard ($2.99, scores 2).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 11 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 9.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 214 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 137 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 22 percent of everything written about it.

Does not hold up at all Unless you were there at the launch I wouldn't recommend this game. Its a hack n slash sometimes but its also a frustrating platformer.
