The value story

October 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. 27 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 11 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 72 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 60 percent. Axiom Verge ($4.99, scores 69) outscores it, and so does La-Mulana ($2.99, scores 58). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This site sampled 421 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 121 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

The death mechanic for this game is really lame. It's neat the first time I guess in concept as your have to fight the fallen body of the former soldier who you were playing prior to dying, but you come back as a much weakened version of your former self and have to make it back to your body and even then it doesn't completely refill your ammo so you'll have to go back and farm to get back to max for the boss...

Do NOT pick this as your first Metroidvania game, enemies are super hostile even from the very beginning, like how NES Metroidvania used to be. If you are a hardcore / old school Metroidvania player, sure, doesn't hurt to give it a try. (Kinda does, actually, it hurts my feelings.) My point still stands, do not pick this as your first Metroidvania game. --- There's your TLDR --- You have a "Hey Look Listen" boss...

Played on SteamDeck while on vacation. I owned this game for years and finally decided to get around to playing it (I was on vacation and needed something to do while on the plane). While not a perfect Metroidvania, I ended up really enjoying this game. If the big thing keeping anyone away from playing this game is because of The Mummy (2017), despite being in the world of that movie, it's basically what-if Tom...
