The value story
It has never been cheaper than $0.28. That was December 2022. It has been discounted 18 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales. Today's $3.99 at 20 percent off still sits 1325 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. The nearest things to it, Into the Radius VR ($29.99, scores 80) and Receiver 2 ($19.99, scores 75), are both worse buys on this math.
$5.59 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $3.99.
Players rate it 94 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 85 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 6 of the 499 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 714 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
4.7 hours to finish it, 12 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.6 times the campaign.

What players say
Fun fast paced, somehow scratches my tarkov itch. I do hope more content get's added, in time.
Yes it isn't much, but I feel you'll get more than your money's worth for what it is. There are 3 maps only (static map, sequentially unlocked) and 4 weapons of which the pistol always is equipped. Later the weapons can be tuned with attachments.. there's also passive "skill" upgrades. It might get old sort of fast and there is no real ending, tasks just loop once you did them all. The enemies come in 3 "colors"...
I love this game. The aesthetic and concept are simple yet so affective. Hoping there is an update soon with more content, AI improvement, movement adjustments and achievements would love to 100% percent this game! Cheers !
