Minimum on the Steam store: 4 GB of memory, GeForce GTX 480M, Radeon HD 6790 or equivalent, 1 GB of storage. Windows only.

A twin-stick, bullet-hell, roguelite where you must cultivate and defend the last farm in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Farm mutated crops, upgrade your weapons, marry townsfolk, and kill every mutant creature that tries to invade your homestead! Yee-haw!

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in September 2023. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 62 in the 6 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is pricier than 63 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Star of Providence ($14.99, scores 84) beats it on value, while it beats AK-xolotl: Together ($18.99, scores 37).

The press gave it 78; the people who bought it give it 92 percent. A 14-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Of the 653 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 12 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 71 percent of the 421 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 5.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 55, 9.3 times as much.

What players say

What an amazing game. Masters the twin stick shooter genre in a way no other game has. The amount of build and weapon choices makes each run different. The game is incredibly relaxing during the early levels and incredibly difficult during the later years.

It is not a perfect cycle but it is interesting enough to rush around gathering resources and managing the plants. It is interesting but it does feel a bit tedious at times. So it is never truly satisfying. So more of a meh than a recommended but not a bad game all in all.
