The value story
Across all 16 discounts in the 3 years tracked, the median cut is 40 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.
It is cheaper than 75 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 95 percent. On the same math Spellbook Demonslayers ($4.99, scores 31) and Bounty of One ($6.99, scores 66) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

What players say
Unfinished game, abandoned by devs Maybe if they come back and expand on it a bit more, it'd be worth it, but it's been 2 years since the last patch

Abandoned game. I will rather recommend people go play brotato or deep rock galatic survivors instead. So much more content and with ongoing updates too.
Fun game, but can be frustrating at times. 1. It is an (unfortunately somewhat common) sin to prevent the player from looking at their build's details when making decisions (such as during level ups) in any roguelike. 2. Potion effects and talent effects are only visible during in the "out of run"/"meta-progression" menus. Why? 3. I legit cannot find anywhere in the game that says exactly what the ultimate abilities...
