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 Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.
The value story
June 2014 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 51 in the 13 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is cheaper than 77 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. GROUND BRANCH ($29.99, scores 39) outscores it, and so does Zero Hour ($9.99, scores 48). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
The press gave it 34; the people who bought it give it 42 percent. An 8-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 434 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 2,043 reviews written there were positive, against 42 percent overall, and those are 58 percent of everything written about it.
