What drives the score

How to read this

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. We scored it as a typical Shooter game (about 6 hours) and docked the score for the missing length.

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in January 2017. It has gone on sale 2 times in the 10 years tracked here, most recently in March 2025.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 26 percent on value. It is cheaper than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 71 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Boomerang X ($19.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Trepang2 ($29.99, scores 55).

Of the 529 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 8 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 1,764 reviews written there were positive, against 87 percent overall, and those are 31 percent of everything written about it.
