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 Aug 4 → 0/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.

Great game with a unique atmosphere!
Very enjoyable boomer shooter clearly inspired by the Doom and Build engine games of the 90's (Heretic and Blood, specifically) that still manages to have it's own identity. Excellent atmosphere that a lot of similar games in this genre fail to capture, probably due to the simple, but clever level design. Only major complaint is the enemy AI, it gets caught on corners trying to simply walk towards the player often. I also have a hard time understanding the voices in the cutscenes, even with music turned down I found the dialogue hard to make out. Very impressed, and will be looking forward to any future games by the developer. Hopefully this game gets a wider audience during a sale, as the price is a bit steep and might deter people from taking a chance on it.

A really underrated fps thats a medieval gzdoom version of blood, amazing weapons, pretty good enemies, only issue is that the bosses are tanky as everlasting ♥♥♥♥, but def a great time. Played on the hardest difficulty and it was really fun. Highly recommend especially if your into build engine games.
great fun
This is a fine game. The voice acting is charming, the guns are mostly fun to use. My biggest complaint would be most the enemies and bosses just walk straight toward the player , they don't really have any kind of AI or pathing and will get stuck on walls or doors. Otherwise this was an enjoyable experience and a great throwback to classic boomer shooters.
really good and underrated boomer shooter that deserves more love
This game is amazing. An obvious Heretic inspiration, but I like that. I also love the weapons and how unique they are. It isn't your typical staffs or magical abilities where the "weapon" sprite is just hands with some magic. $20 is a bit steep for this kind of game. But I got it on sale for $14 and it's definitely worth at least $15. I'm a sucker for GZ Doom games and this one is great. Buy it!
It's a lot of fun but the AI needs work, enemies get stuck on corners way too often.
I don't even know where to begin with this game. I've put quite a few hours into it and overall I like it but there are some areas where it felt a bit lackluster. The Good: - THE SOUNDTRACK. The music is so good! Ambient yet catchy! - The weapons are a ton of fun. Each has an alternate fire. The cannon, for example, does cluster bombs after firing an explosion and its fun to watch enemies get anniliated. - The maps*. Some of the secrets are really creative and the map areas look really cool for a Doom-engine shooter. - Neat cutscenes that aren't usually seen in boomer shooters. Bad: - The maps. While the maps aren't bad on their own, they always have an easy passageway back to the beginning or other parts of the level. In theory this should make traversing the map super quick. In reality, this makes the maps extremely confusing and can cause the player to end up walking in loops and getting confused as to whether this area is one they've revisited yet or not. - The game crashed after beating E2M8. This might be because I'm on Linux but I hadn't had any issues on any other parts of the game, cutscene or otherwise but some reason after defeating the Raven Queen or whatever she's called, the game crashed. I just started a new game from E3M1. - Enemy placement. Some areas were just one or two baddies that were easily taken out. And then some areas took way too many attempts to get past. Like 30 enemies on the screen at once and no cover or anywhere to avoid them. Its especially bad when they drop in the water. They're darn near impossible to see, yet the hitscan almost guarantees they hit you while you struggle to hit them. This might be seen as a positive to veteran players who love that kind of challenge. - Speaking of enemies, they're pretty repetitive. The bosses are good. But I do wish there was more variety in the types of enemies you encountered. All in all I liked this game and would love to see more of it (with better map layout).
Сразу признаюсь в большой любви к подобным играм. Стараюсь не пропускать ни один значимый шутер в стиле девяностых и эта игра не стала исключением. Играя за эльфа с очевидными познаниями в науке и магии мы раскроем причину нападения полчищ монстров и культистов на королевство и остановим зло. Авторы не стали придумывать ничего радикально-нового. Всё по классике. Около десятка видов оружия, разномастные враги, поиск секретов и разноцветных ключей...На фоне других подобных игр Borrowhelen выделяется необычными средствами смертоубийства, например тут можно скастовать натуральную чёрную дыру, наносящую колоссальный урон по площади в течение некоторого времени. Не обошлось и без недостатков в числе которых очень скучные боссы, лучше бы их вообще не было. Просто губки для урона, которые ковыряешь несколько минут, бегая по кругу. Также хочу отметить, что врагам в игре не хватает разнообразия в плане паттернов поведения, зачастую они просто прут на вас по прямой или стреляют издалека, сильно не хватает врагов к которым нужен какой-то особый подход. Но самый главный недостаток-это скучные локации. Интересные локации-это один из важнейших элементов хорошего шутера и тут с этим беда. Если поначалу разработчики ещё стараются развлекать нас разнообразными декорациями, то в последующих главах нас запирают в однообразных пещерах и каменных коридорах и Borrowhelen из шутера превращается в симулятор анального зондирования прямой кишки голема. Из-за этих очень визуально-слабых и унылых локаций я советую эту игру брать только по скидке, ибо за полную стоимость можно найти более увлекательные проекты в данном жанре. Положительную оценку ставлю из любви к пиксельному ультранасилю и надеюсь увидеть более качественные игры от этого разработчика.
