The value story

May 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $9.99. Its cuts run 45 percent off as a rule. There have been 14 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.

On value it sits in the top 29 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Tails of Iron ($24.99, scores 53) beats it on value, while it beats Steelrising ($49.99, scores 23).

This site sampled 678 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2025 to September 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 8 of 169 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 152 reviews written there were positive, against 80 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

At 8.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
