The value story

January 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $0.28. It has been discounted 83 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 51 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is cheaper than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 92 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Crypt of the NecroDancer ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Hero Siege ($7.99, scores 19).

2 of the 379 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 84 percent of the 225 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it.
