What happens when DLC practices go too far? An indie developer makes a game that mocks the industry and its foibles, that's what! Defeat the bad guy, save the world and get the girl! But first you'll need to find coins to buy DLC to enable animation, sound and even pausing.
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
- How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Short indie game (about 4 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
November 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.74. It has been discounted 56 times in the 14 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 13 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 93 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures ($4.99, scores 75) beats it on value, while it beats Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove ($39.99, scores 61).
None of the 370 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 83 percent of the 2,203 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 44 percent of everything written about it.
