The value story

October 2019 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. 46 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 66 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Streets of Rogue ($19.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Full Metal Furies ($19.99, scores 73).

This site sampled 380 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 1 was written by a buyer who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 88 percent of the 298 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 6.7 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 15, 2.3 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.7 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

this game is very dear to me because it was one of the first games I've played on my xbox 360, I kept my 360 over the years just simply because i didn't want to lose this game. I am glad it is on steam for me to play all over again with my friends.

A cross between Castle Crashers and Salt and Sanctuary. How is that it never showed up on any of my queues anywhere? I don't usually endorse people, but you should buy it right now!
