The value story

The lowest price on record is $4.49, set in July 2024. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 36 in the 6 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Ultimate Chicken Horse ($14.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Party Animals ($19.99, scores 51).

3 of the 340 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 94 percent of the 333 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.

HowLongToBeat players log 0.9 hours as a typical playtime, and completionists log 4, 4.1 times as much.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 0.9 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

What players say

For €15 I find it a bit expensive for the amount of playtime you get. I bought this game about two years ago and only played it in split-screen with friends, so in two years I've reached around 13 hours of playtime. You can connect multiple controllers and play on the couch with friends, and you can also add bots to make the matches more fun and challenging. I don't recommend playing it solo, because there's no...

It's the best party game out there for me. Easy to learn so anyone can join, hard to master as advanced players will have real gritty matches. The bots are good, the maps are good (even better with the DLC), the handling is great, the sound design is on point and the art style is super clear and readable. Overall a great game, a must have for parties!
SvedRecommendedafter 24hAug 2026Read on Steam
Slicing and dicing your friends is easily the most fun to have in a video game especially something as easy to pick up as this. A must play for couch co-op and a great intro to non-gamer friends
