Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

I can't put this game down. It's all the best parts of games like Fantasy Zone, obviously, but there's some R-Type in there too. Maybe even a little Progear as well. The game is very well put together, the scoring system isn't too complex, and the music is really neat. To the girl who recommended me this, I will be beating your high score, just gimme a minute!
Genuinely the best shmup I've ever played. I know my playtime says like 2 hours but I ive played for dozens of hours on switch, even got into the top 100 on the leaderboards. SO much fun to get high scores in, the levels are so intricately crafted and the opera soundtrack goes absolutely crazy with all the bonkers ♥♥♥♥ going on. I really adore the premise, i love genuinely creepy or dark plotlines that arent afraid to get silly with their presentation
Fantastic , quirky Japanese indie game with great pixelated graphics, other-worldy opera type music and superb gameplay. After this am now curious as to the devs other games.
It's a pretty fun and simple game that's elevated immensely by the style and polish put into it, which is kinda the running theme for Onion Games. As a schmup it's fairly welcoming to newcomers, though a bit overwhelming to get used to. Black Bird's hitbox and bullet hurtboxes are pretty generous and easy to recognize at a glance which generally makes it feel fair when you make a mistake, and most enemies have just the right amount of aggressiveness to keep up tension without feeling overbearing. It's the sort of game where you're rewarded heavily for maintaining your proverbial momentum, which makes it enjoyable to practice and get better at. The amount of moving parts and small destructible details in each stage also lends it this chaotic fun factor that I haven't really seen captured this well before. The whole game has an atmosphere of grim comedy to it that does a lot of legwork towards making it a memorable experience. All the cartoonish designs and overly-dramatic music feels at odds with the eerie atmosphere and apocalyptic scenario in a way that [i] (at least for me) [/i] really draws you in and makes you want to see what else it has to offer, and for the most part it delivers. [spoiler] The escalation from zooming around blowing up a bunch of little Mario-lookin' dudes to becoming the Antichrist and fighting the anti-Antichrist is really a treat to see. [/spoiler] As with most games in the schmup genre you should go into it with the mindset of playing it to have fun and not to reach [i] 'the ending' [/i] or whatever. It's fairly short overall and the only content you miss out on by not beating True Mode is a bonus final boss and [b] L O R E [/b], so don't feel too pressured to shoot for that if you don't want to. Play how you like and have fun destroying the kingdom however you wish. :) [h1] Also play the rest of Onion Game's games. They're all good. [/h1]
Black Bird, c'est : - "Il était une fois « BLACK BIRD », la triste histoire d’une pauvre fillette. Laissée pour morte au coin d’une ruelle, cette petite fille se réincarna en une funeste créature nommée « BLACK BIRD ». Depuis l’Antiquité, les légendes du royaume ressassent les calamités causées par cet oiseau de malheur. Incarnez le cataclysme « BLACK BIRD » et annihilez le royaume." (mot de présentation du jeu de ONION Games sur le PS Store); - Une claque artistique (réalisation, musiques et effets sonores) enrobant un Fantasy Zone/Defender -like; - Des ennemis, Bosses, niveaux avec un cachet unique ; - Une durée de vie solide (terminer le "Normal Mode" vous ouvre les portes du "True Mode" avec multiples fins); Pour moi, tout simplement un coup de coeur
Nothing else like it.
Um jogo muito bem feito, uma excelente homenagem a Fantasy Zone. Esse jogo revive a mecânica que me fez amar Fantasy Zone tanto, que é transformar um gênero que geralmente é um autoscroller eterno em uma gameplay dinâmica onde você destrói geradores de inimigos, permitindo que você consiga avançar mais rápido ao jogar bem. Ele tem muitas mecânicas que demoram um tempo pra você descobrir e aproveitar ao máximo. Jogar de maneira otimizada facilita muito o jogo e te dá mais oportunidades de cometer erros mais pra frente, o que inclui manipular os seus drops de itens atirando neles, usar suas bombas após combos para evoluir o seu personagem mais rápido, e aprender a gerenciar seus recursos da melhor maneira possível. Se você quiser só jogar ele de maneira casual pra se divertir, você também pode. O modo normal é bem fácil, eu consegui zerar ele na minha primeira vez. Porém o modo "verdadeiro", que é desbloqueado após você zerar o jogo pela primeira vez... é aí que o desafio realmente começa. Se você quiser um desafio, o modo verdadeiro é o seu lugar. Inclui um chefe final extra, inimigos mais agressivos, menos vida para você e mais vida para os inimigos. E acima disso tudo, existem múltiplos finais baseados na sua pontuação. Se você quiser ser desafiado, e quer ter incentivos para aprimorar suas habilidades e dominar as mecânicas do jogo, esse jogo também lhe fornece tudo isso. Outro ponto muito positivo do jogo é a trilha sonora. É uma acapella muito mórbida, com vozes de pai transmitindo a agonia da história do jogo, passando uma vibe noir muito cartoonesca e interessante.
