The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was September 2023. It has been discounted 56 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 80 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.
It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 66 percent. Suit for Hire ($14.99, scores 66) outscores it, and so does Splatter - Zombiecalypse Now ($6.99, scores 75). Both sit among its closest neighbours.
12 of the 673 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 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 199 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 55 percent of the 618 reviews written there were positive, against 72 percent overall, and those are 37 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 3.9 hours; clearing it takes 10, which is 2.5 times the campaign.

What players say
Fun game. Its fast, its raw, its brutal. Classic hong kong scenario. And it can get quite hard, if you challenge yourselfs a little. Also reminds me a lot of max payne 1/2 except for the top down view obv. Nothing beats bullet time and jump dives plus rolling all over the floor I had some issues at 1st. Seemed like a rather hard than chill and relax game, and im not much of a fan of that anymore. But after i figured...
Absolutely action packed, with tons of awesome adrenaline filled moments to be had. This is an outrageously epic time, and I completely recommend it.
UI bugs trap you in menus. Looked on discussions and this was reported January 2019. Update: Game also crashed to desktop after beating final boss skipping the end cutscene and credits.
Steam reviews, mixed to match its Steam ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
