The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in October 2023. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 54 in the 8 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 7 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 97 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Redeemer: Enhanced Edition ($9.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Devil's Hunt ($14.99, scores 1).

This site sampled 347 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 2 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 170 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 5.6 hours; clearing it takes 12, which is 2.1 times the campaign.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

Amazingly solid gameplay system, beatifull animation and mechanical depth that rivals Devil May Cry, one of the best hack and slash games out there, insanely good find. I cant find a single flaw outside of a lil jank, poor 3d models and somewhat barren levels, but what does it matter, when ost is good, art style for 2D is quite nice, the gameplay is phenomenal and the story is just non-sense fun? Pretty good game.

Pretty fun game. Combos are great and satisfying. Even though its kinda cheap looking, the voice acting and gameplay covers this. Would be great if in the future, the graphics and models would improve. Overall, fun gameplay and proper anime vibes.
