What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Holding it back
Reviews62% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Reach75K+ owners
How many own it and play it, by SteamSpy's estimates (an old snapshot), the biggest driver for a game with no ending
For context
Value$1.76/hr
Price per hour of game. This genre scores on player counts instead
Length1.7 hours
Typical playtime on HowLongToBeat. Endless games score on players, so hours stay out of it
MonetizationNot known
No monetization record for this game, so nothing is assumed either way
Refunds18 of 751 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked

From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

The value story

October 2022 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. It has been discounted 52 times in the 7 years tracked here, typically at 75 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 62 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 94 percent. Ravenswatch ($24.99, scores 52) outscores it, and so does Death Road to Canada ($14.99, scores 78). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Of the 751 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 18 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to July 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 698 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 48 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 49 percent of the 538 reviews written there were positive, against 62 percent overall, and those are 33 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 1.7 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 104, 61 times as much.

What players say

After long and careful consideration i've realized... i would like to see a charge, curios was a fun little "haha, hope i get the right item now" which was aggravating, overhaul that. Just show the thing you unlock. The ... mastery page? the blue stuff or whatever? Make it larger, more character aimed, perhaps some of the fun modifiers so you can start a level as a whirling blademaster of healing Perhaps the bubble...

Dead game. Do not recommend. Good concept at the time but no follow-through. Developers are active but they have abandoned this project since 2021 and are no longer working on it.
ParadoXNot recommendedafter 14hDec 2025Read on Steam
Update this game, this game has so much potential. I think more people are willing to play this type of game now more than ever.
