The value story

It has never been cheaper than $7.49. That was March 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 11 in the 3 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart.

On value it sits in the top 29 percent of its genre. It is better reviewed than 76 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Kero Blaster ($9.99, scores 74) beats it on value, while it beats The Final Station ($14.99, scores 57).

Of the 572 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 6 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 265 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

While the game slaps overall, it was definitely not made for lower-end PCs. If you have a relatively slow performing processor and GPU, I would not recommend this game. Some of the jumps in a few levels are nearly impossible, and it's kind of infuriating that there is no Agility stat which you could allocate your points to, not to mention that there is also not a single pick-up item in the entire game which would...

The game is okay. Not optimally Zombotron, but still Zombotron-esque. I hate the main character. I thought Sardal's stories were okay, at least, better than the banter between the man and his son that he hates.

Played this game as a younger kid on flash game sites and it was one of my favourites. Now that they converted it into a stand alone PC game, I'm really happy to get to relive some of those memories I had. Different game from the original. but the gameplay looks and feels good and I enjoy the art style still!
