The value story
The value story
79 discounts in the 11 years on record, a median of 85 percent off across all of them, roughly 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove ($39.99, scores 58) and Pogostuck: Rage With Your Friends ($2.79, scores 59) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
More about Mighty No. 9
Steam's global achievement data puts about 10 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 5-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 535 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 8 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 540 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 28 percent of the 580 reviews written there were positive, against 50 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (time-limited); the score docks it lightly for that.
The main story runs 5 hours. Doing everything runs 16, 3.2 times as long.
At 5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
i don't know what it is. i just can't fully comprehend why i like mighty no. 9. i really can't. i could poke holes in its corny presentation and gameplay quirks but honestly i was having so much fun with its combo and movement system that i genuinely would not mind replaying it every so often. with that said inafune is a hack fraud.

Got this to play on my ROG Ally and mostly played docked, with some handheld play. Made it slightly warm on Performance mode, which is unusual, to say the least. On to the reason I'm refunding this. For some reason, this game's unique combination of combat that requires you to throw yourself at enemies (literally) and absolutely unforgiving platforming where carelessly throwing yourself around often kills you just...
