The value story

The lowest price on record is $7.49, set in November 2025. It has been discounted 13 times in the 17 months tracked here, typically at 25 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 29 percent on value. It is cheaper than 65 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 75 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Death Must Die ($6.99, scores 71) beats it on value, while it beats Tower of Babel: Survivors of Chaos ($12.99, scores 24).

15 of the 560 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, 76 percent of the 276 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

A well made game with tons of possible builds that can make two similar runs feel very different.

This is a very good game with a very good build system. I really like the way the skills are not tied to your equipped but weapon but tied to your Class and Origin. Very fun. Highly recommend.
Russ Da SloogRecommendedafter 29h1 found this helpfulearly accessRead on Steam
The difficulty spike when you encounter the boss Akka is just ridiculous. The rest of the game is easy as pie, but that thing is impossible to beat for me, no matter what. I'm too frustrated to waste any more of my time for this game.
