The value story
It has never been cheaper than $4.34. That was May 2022. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 61 in the 7 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DUCKSIDE ($14.99, scores 27) beats it on value, while it beats Out of Reach ($14.99, scores 2).
16 of the 640 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 112 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 1 of the 16 refunded reviewers was past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 333 reviews written there were positive, against 61 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.
