The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 4 in the 7 months tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $14.99 at 40 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Victor Vran ARPG ($19.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Wayfinder ($2.99, scores 7).
This site sampled 599 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 21 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 228 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 21 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 173 reviews written there were positive, against 66 percent overall, and those are 16 percent of everything written about it.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 15 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

I eyed on this game since an early trailer, really looking forward to it. So with my first few hours, the game playes well and the systems are fun, but what really bugs me is the graphics. Not that i don't like the style, i really do. It's that there is an upscaler on at all times and you can't turn it off. This is just annoying, you have constant grain and a slightly input lag. It's not in unplayable territory, but...
