The value story
Across all 61 discounts in the 10 years tracked, the median cut is 50 percent, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $2.99 at 70 percent off still sits 50 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 89 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Bug Butcher ($7.99, scores 70) beats it on value, while it beats Nex Machina ($19.99, scores 66).

My only issue with the game is the generic-sounding metal music. And i say this as a metalhead. Shmup is fantastic otherwise.
