The value story

The lowest price on record is $6.79, set in September 2016. Its cuts run 65 percent off as a rule. There have been 76 in the 11 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. No sale on record has reached $2.23, the price it would take to be a BANGER.

Value puts it in the top 44 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. ZeroRanger ($11.99, scores 75) and Jets'n'Guns Gold ($7.99, scores 69) both outscore it.

The press gave it 86; the people who bought it give it 97 percent. An 11-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 325 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 93 percent of the 338 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 24 percent of everything written about it.

0.7 hours to finish it, 34 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 48 times the campaign.

if i had 1/1000th of a penny for every bullet i'd be the richest person alive 10/10

I never could've imagined that a 20 minute game could have me put 40+ hours into it. Despite the very simplistic combat system, this game's unique patterns, amazing soundtrack, and vibrant art style will hook you from the start. Don't underestimate Mushihimesama though, this game will have you gritting your teeth trying to beat its bosses, and all the while you'll be enjoying it. Phenomenal game.

this is about as good as this kind of game really comes. at least unless they port Futari, which I would give up my firstborn for.
