The value story
It has never been cheaper than $8.99. That was May 2026. It has been discounted 12 times in the 17 months tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 26 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 75 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Into the Breach ($14.99, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Yokai Art: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ($6.99, scores 67).
Of the 607 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 28 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 56 percent of the 262 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
