The value story

July 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $12.74. It has gone on sale once in the 85 days tracked here, most recently in July 2026. The math puts its BANGER price at $7.59. No recorded sale has reached it yet.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 3 percent on value. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 27 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written July 2026 to October 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 21 of 371 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 73 percent of the 478 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

At 9.7 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.
