It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Retro City Rampage™ DX ($14.99, scores 49) and American Fugitive ($19.99, scores 34) both outscore it.

13 of the 560 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2021 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,071 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 192 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 65 percent of the 367 reviews written there were positive, against 75 percent overall, and those are 30 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 6.9 hours; clearing it takes 16, which is 2.3 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 6.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.
