Value puts it in the top 12 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Lethal League ($13.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Mortal Kombat 11 ($49.99, scores 40).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 67 percent of the 434 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 11.7 hours. Doing everything runs 593, 51 times as long.
