The value story
It has never been cheaper than $2.49. That was June 2019. It has been discounted 33 times in the 11 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 14 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 11 weeks ago. It becomes a BANGER at $7.56, a level the record has reached 31 times.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 7 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 96 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Risk of Rain (2013) ($9.99, scores 82) beats it on value, while it beats Party Hard ($9.99, scores 72).
The press gave it 76; the people who bought it give it 96 percent. A 20-point gap in the buyer's favour.
Of the 399 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 1 comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 81 percent of the 392 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
