The value story
The value story
It has been discounted 13 times in the 16 months tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 20 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Breakwaters: Crystal Tides ($19.99, scores 6) outscores it, and so does Deathground ($14.99, scores 6). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
More about DREADZONE
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 78 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2025 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,368 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 7 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 4 of the 78 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. In its first 30 days on sale, 58 of 466 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 678 reviews written there were positive, against 51 percent overall, and those are 57 percent of everything written about it.

Cite this score
DREADZONE scores 0/100 on the BANG Score (a skip) as of Nov 8, 2026. Length is not in our data, so the score is docked. The developer disclosed AI-generated content on Steam, so the score is docked. The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/3484300/dreadzoneReviews set the ceiling. With no length in our data, value sits at a neutral middle whatever the price, and the BANG Score is docked until a real length is known.
