The value story

June 2016 is where it bottomed out, at $0.49. Its cuts run 30 percent off as a rule. There have been 65 in the 11 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

It is cheaper than 96 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. ORION: Prelude ($0.99, scores 45) and GRAV ($19.99, scores 2) both outscore it.

None of the 246 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 1,452 reviews written there were positive, against 53 percent overall, and those are 49 percent of everything written about it.

3 hours to finish it, 51 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 17 times the campaign.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

As a heads up, this game will work in VR. Use the UEVR tool and it really brings new life to this game.

Solid game for a buck even if it is dead multiplayer wise since you can still play solo. I thought being able to switch between first-person, third-person, and top-down view was a pretty neat albeit unnecessary feature. Might not have been a world-wide hit but it is a fun friday night with the homies and some beers and/or blunts.

fix ur game before do another game I don't reccommend this game (even if it gets fixed) because the devs are pretty scummy.
