The value story
It has been discounted 76 times in the 14 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 75 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.
It is less well reviewed than 85 percent of its genre. On the same math Gears 5 ($29.99, scores 20) and OUTRIDERS ($5.99, scores 22) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
It was... okay but it just crashed way too much for my enjoyment, literally every chapter it would crash in the end, but at some point the crashes restarted the chapter so I could never save. It was a super lazy game but the combat and cover system weren't terrible, just a really mediocre a buggy Gears of War clone with kind of an interesting mechanic that I never got to use properly.
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
I do like those generic, story-based, 7th generation cover-based shooters. And the story here is serviceable for a sci-fi action B-movie. It does kinda scratch that itch. But it's just too poorly executed to be recommended. FIRST OF ALL, BEWARE: the game barely works on modern hardware because of compatibility issues or something. If you lower the textures, you can get it running (with random screen tearing still)...
As long as your system will run it, for $5 it's Gears of War with Gravity effects.
