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

Holding it back
Reviews69% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$3.12/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length6.4 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds7 of 550 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was May 2026. 16 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 40 percent off, roughly 4 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 84 percent. On the same math Fights in Tight Spaces ($24.99, scores 73) and Cross Blitz ($22.99, scores 39) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Of the 550 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2025 to August 2026.

HowLongToBeat players log 6.4 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 66, 10 times as much.

What players say

Heartbreaking game, I was super hyped for this but there's just too much going against it for me to enjoy. The visuals are nice but the mechanics are annoying, the best visual mechanic is the hand to hand abilities which look cool, but, you can only use them on a weaponless character and there isn't enough of them and they are not prevalent enough to actually round out a build. The environmental kills are cool, but...

It's CRIMINAL this game is mixed. This being worse than Fights in Tight Spaces is so subjective, I think this is just as awesome. Banger soundtrack, like always, and the added teammate/party play with 3 characters (multiple classes as well btw) is a huge progression of the formula here. The presentation of the story and even the levels reminds me so much of games from an era long past. When you rotate the camera...

With the last update almost a year ago, I'm almost certain that some quality of life stuff won't be implemented, which is really frustrating when the concept of the game is so unique and fun, and many aspects of the game was done well.
