The value story

The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in June 2024. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 50 in the 7 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 25 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 61 percent. Among the games that feel like it, AirMech (free, scores 64) beats it on value, while it beats Orbital Gear (free, scores 59).

None of the 431 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 623 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 27 percent of everything written about it.
