The value story
The lowest price on record is $5.84, set in September 2021. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 70 in the 8 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
Value puts it in the top 4 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 93 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Starbound ($14.99, scores 77) beats it on value, while it beats Space Pirates And Zombies 2 ($19.99, scores 51).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 9 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 23.4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Players rate it 88 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 77 percent. Something recent has soured the room. This site sampled 653 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 64 percent of the 159 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it.
The drop-off

What players say
Absolutely phenomenal game. There is a main quest line, but you can do whatever you want. Take it slow and enjoy yourself. Feels like eve meets subspace/continuum, once you set your controls. (Go keyboard mode and change wasd keys to arrow keys) 100% recommend this to those who like 2d dogfights, crafting and a sandbox theme.
Really fun! Addicting - if you like sandbox play! Well, I have 122.6 hours of play so far. I absolutely ADORE this game. I really liked the combat of space pirates and zombies, and this game scratches that itch. But that's just the combat. There's more to the game than just that, but it's all gravy if you ask me. The combat makes it compelling enough for me to load my game just... one more time, after time, after...
Great game that you can pickup and put down. 2D Eve Online without the ganking :)
