The value story

The lowest price on record is $31.99, set in July 2025. It has been discounted 12 times in the 2 years tracked here, typically at 15 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales. Today's $31.99 at 20 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 20 percent on value. It is pricier than 99 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 82 percent. Among the games that feel like it, VOIN ($19.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats SULFUR ($24.99, scores 63).

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 19 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 68 percent of the 1,355 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 11.4 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 62, 5.4 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 11.4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

Good game. I saw a review that stated: "This game is in a better place at Early Access than some triple A games are at full release". I can confirm that this statement is very true. Needs some more items (magic and guns/melee) to enable some more variation to the gameplay in the early game. No bugs or crashes encountered. Overall a good EA experience, excited for the full release.

I'm absolutely OBSESSED with this game!! I could go on and on about everything I love about it! A solid 9/10 game! These improvements would bring this game to a 10/10: - If the Inventory was introduced to me in the tutorial, I don't remember it because it took an embarrassingly long time for me to realize that I had one. Also, I don't think the Calamity system was thoroughly explained to me either because I didn't...

Crashed after a very long play with 77k fire and after complicated mission. Had to play again everything until that point. Got mad and uninstalled it. Never again will touch this as i will forever remember that stupid crash.
