The value story

June 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. It has been discounted 65 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.

Value puts it in the top 38 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 62 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Guacamelee! 2 ($19.99, scores 64) and Warhammer 40,000: Shootas, Blood & Teef ($19.99, scores 65) both outscore it.

2 of the 401 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, 69 percent of the 199 reviews written there were positive, against 76 percent overall, and those are 26 percent of everything written about it.

At 8.8 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say

I LOVE the Journey to the West story so ofc I bought it. This game is just pure art in the smooth animation, style, level design, boss fights, and music! My most fav thing is how in the level section each level plays a note of a song! It just makes me wanna beat the game so I can hear the whole song! Also during the loading screen there are musicians that you can control to play a song while you wait! Genius!

I wanna like this game because i enjoyed reading Journey to the West while growing up , thats why i purchased this game. But the game play was so blend and boring. I also lost my save file twice and i had to start all again. So thats it for me, i am done
