Holding it back
Reviews82% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach35K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$0.82/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length18 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds3 of 421 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.74, set in December 2023. 55 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 49 percent on value. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Shattered Pixel Dungeon ($9.99, scores 83) beats it on value, while it beats Dungeon Rushers ($2.99, scores 10).

3 of the 421 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 120 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

50% start to 5% finish

A game like this has no single ending, so its score does not use the finish rate. The curve shows where players stop. Steam global achievements

ok ok... ii know it a roguelike but why the F does a run take for the faster side 6-7 hours. And on the slow end it take 9-14hour (both were my time of 2 charter that both dead at the after before the final boss). is true feel very aunfulfilling to put that much hour in the a run. to then dead from from RNG or dump mechanics like the quest, dreamworld.. etc. And you might say well do not like the parma dead way. BUT...
