Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
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): 2.14/day in the week to Jul 25 → 4/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.

Pretty good. Not the best, but definitely a good value and compelling enough to play all the way through. The designer included quite a few features that really help reduce any potential frustrations for people less familiar with these types of games; which was really good design. The detractors were that the game didn't have particularly high difficulty. Bosses and enemies didn't scale in a compelling way.
Crypt Custodian is a charming zeldavania! You play as Pluto, kitty who has recently arrived in the afterlife and because of reasons you're given a broom and need to run around cleaning things up and bashing monsters. There's also some platforming and a few puzzles to solve. The denizens you meet along your journey are also charming and the boss battles are fun. Great difficulty balance! I also appreciate the art direction and tight controls! Only minor gripe is I wish the other special attacks were as useful as your starting one. I just kept going back to that the whole game. Keep in mind this is a game about the afterlife so the animals' stories about their life on Earth concludes with the inevitable. I teared up more than once and hugged my super sweet precious I love you so much fluffy void babies a bit extra.

Cozy indie 2D top-down catroidzeldia bullet-hell sweep-a-thon Even on hard mode, this one is super comfy and tons of fun. Awesome music, good mechanics, fun and fair boss encounters. My only real complaint is the health system. It might've been nice to be able to regen health somehow trekking through the world. Overall, that was a mostly minor inconvenience that would've been easily remedied by more careful play (or reducing the difficulty). Definitely get this game!
Amazing experience. This dev's games keep getting better and better.
this is one of my all-time favorite games. the first i have ever played in the metroidvania genre, and it was such a wonderful challenge. it is just difficult enough (for me, at least) to still feel rewarding after attemtping a boss or a challenge run for the upteenth time. the soundtrack is beautiful, the cast of characters are so silly and sweet. a genuine great time.
одна из любимых метраидваний, в первый раз играла с видом сверху, но это сильно не помешало. очень приятный визуальный стиль, боевая система в меру сложная, по карте было интересно бегать, по ней разбросаны всяческие головоломки. в плане сюжета история простенькая, но трогательная, а персонажи очаровашки!
Meroidevania-lite You don’t lose your money on death. You can warp to any discovered save point at any time. You don’t need to buy maps. You can’t heal, except at checkpoints. Visually great. The story and characters are kind of lame. The combat gets repetitive and the bosses are too mashey. The world is massive, but I got all the collectibles in 12 hours.
Really fun to play, combines a puzzle game with a fighting game, is story rich and the art is incredible. Would recommend!
Highly recommended metroidvania, doesn't overstay its welcome, has a great cast of characters you meet on your journey and between the art style and the boss fights you're really in for a treat.
Although not necessarily hard it is an overall a fun game. Took me a while to get used to the movement but when i did it was oddly satisfying. The progression feels nice as a metroidvania however the story felt it lacked depth and very one dimensional (although very cute) which is fine as the gameplay more than made up for it. The bosses were fun especially in the later stages with my favorites being the Cinema Boss and the Demon Park Boss and others i forgot to mention. And I really liked the fact you can make use of every unlock/ability you get and none of them felt inherently useless. Only issues i had were easily fixable QOL stuff like -A marker for where you died -Names of the Upgrades being viewable in the inventory even when not at a shrine -Ability to Customize the Binding for the boomerang In Summary A great cute &short metroidvania that can help take the stress away after a tiring day at work/school.
