The value story
November 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $0.51. It has been discounted 57 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 8 weeks between sales.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Dogs Organized Neatly ($2.99, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion ($14.99, scores 67).
$3.34 is where it would stop being a BANGER. It is priced at $0.99.
None of the 434 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 4,502 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 42 percent of everything written about it.

If you look past the "doggo" hype that's somehow still going strong a decade later, Montaro is a poorly executed game with clunky, unresponsive controls and an endless stream of repetitive obstacles. The gimmick of stealing girls' "pantsu" as your health mechanic certainly doesn't do it any favours, either.
