The value story

November 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $1.99. It has been discounted 52 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Realm of the Mad God Exalt (free, scores 60) beats it on value, while it beats Never Split the Party (free, scores 44).

16 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 282 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 12 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 35, 2.9 times as much.
