The value story

The lowest price on record is $10.99, set in August 2026. It has been discounted 20 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended yesterday. The math puts its BANGER price at $6.17. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Value puts it in the top 4 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Halls of Torment ($6.66, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats There Is No Light: Enhanced Edition ($19.99, scores 27).

Of the 355 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 122 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 4.2 hours; clearing it takes 12, which is 2.9 times the campaign.

What players say

Fun boss rush game, with good replayability if you decide to complete the challenges on each boss. Great on a discount.
my dootRecommendedafter 7.3hAug 2026Read on Steam
Feels short if you're good at the game (I'm not), overall the story was pretty good though due to how "short" the game relatively is it wasn't as impactful as I would have liked but I still enjoyed it. This being my 2nd boss rush game after Rubinite I can say that it met my expectations, found the combat fun and satisfying with the (some difficult) bosses all feeling unique to go against. Overall, I liked the game...

10/10 Game overall in my opinion. I played Rubinite before this game and this follows my expectation. I love the character attachment, the parry mechanic and also how the flash backs all add up at the end. If I get my ass beat by bosses, just hug Wenny. Will be putting it in my top boss rush games.
