What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Reviews95% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.74, set in September 2024. 32 discounts in the 3 years on record. They run about 25 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 13 days ago.

On value it sits in the top 3 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 95 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Vampire Survivors ($4.99, scores 95) beats it on value, while it beats Boneraiser Minions ($4.99, scores 85).

Players rate it 95 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 84 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 19 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2024 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 1,861 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 11.5 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 84, 7.3 times as much.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

The drop-off

99% start to 2% rarest

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is one heck of a dungeon grinder. I love me some leveling and stat climbs. If you are a fan of the "Survivors" genre, look no further. My exterminator flamer goes brrr. 8/10

Solid game. Solid progression. Yeah.. it becomes same ol' same ol' after 20 hours but the achievement grind can be fun. Baldur's Gate with no story and no need for an IQ to play. Move left finger. #profit
FamaSicuraRecommendedafter 48h8 found this helpfulRead on Steam
The game gets better the more you play. I found the game boring on the first few runs. But once you start unlocking stuff, it gets really good.
