The value story
The lowest price on record is $2.49, set in June 2020. It has been discounted 40 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 9 weeks between sales.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 4 percent on value. It is better reviewed than 88 percent of its genre. Among the games closest to it, Nex Machina ($19.99, scores 66) and Sky Force Anniversary ($9.99, scores 64) both come in lower.
The math says it holds its tier up to $12.95, and you are being asked for $9.99.
2 of the 440 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 242 reviews written there were positive, against 93 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
