The value story

It has never been cheaper than $0.79. That was May 2025. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 33 in the 10 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 98 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, Charlie Murder ($9.99, scores 83) and DEADBOLT ($9.99, scores 80), are both worse buys on this math.

$6.75 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $4.99.

Of the 206 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 87 percent of the 399 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

Great, nostalgic game. I had a lot of fun smashing through zombies and obstacles while upgrading all the vehicles. The loop of going out to ram zombies to get money so you can upgrade your car to get further is very satisfying. The mission mode wasn't anything difficult either, just a bunch of challenges you had to complete using all 10 cars available in the game. I recommend you give it a try if you want some...

good way to define "childhood game" and "nostalgia" still looks solid even today
