The value story

It has never been cheaper than $13.29. That was August 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 17 months tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is pricier than 73 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hades II ($20.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats Asgard's Fall — Viking Survivors ($9.99, scores 49).

3 of the 391 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 171 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 5.5 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Very cool little game, not too difficult but also not too easy. Some interesting mechanics and itemisation. I had a good time.

Overall the game is VERY OK and a bit above average but not as good as the review scores makes it out to be, in my opinion. The biggest thing it has going for it is the art style, the character design is neat but nothing that special or original. The devs seem to be working on a few different challenge modes to help with replayability which is good. I feel like there is a decent amount of WASTED POTENTIAL but I can...

absolute peak short 8 hourish story from beginning to end of last epilogue. replay value is low for a roguelike but i dont think they planned for it to be replayed at the core of the game design. they made it so you get little bits of multiple different kinds of roguelikes for fun but focusing the game on the cute story and great voice acting/art style. I would recommend to people that DONT like roguelikes due to...
