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 22 → 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.

This is a great premise for a game, and a really fun addition to our couch co-op roster. I'm playing it with my wife, who sometimes struggles with twin-stick shooters. But now, she can focus on blasting while I do the running around! The performance really does need a tune-up unfortunately. I'm running with Ryzen 7 and a 3080; and we need to play at 1080p with all graphical settings at their lowest. Even then, we still get stutters below 60fps. Some of the visual affordance in menu navigation is also a bit unclear. And the controller icons don't seem to work for our DS4s. But it's still a great enough game that I recommend it. You might need to play at 720p, or 1080p low, but it's worth it.

such a fun game! and pretty difficult even on normal :D !!!
Muhteşem bir oyun olmuş. Eski özlediğiniz oyun tatlarını almanız olası. Gerek ses gerek oynanış gerek grafikler olsun oldukça zevkli bir üstten görünüş shoot em up. Hele yan yana oynayacağınız bir arkadaşınız var ise muhakak almalısınız. Şu steam zam haberlerinin yanında 40₺ fiyatı ile alınası olmuş. Birkaç eksisi var tabi mesela 3080li bir bilgisayarda performans sorunları yaşayabilirsiniz ama 3070 im ile 45fps altına düşmedim. Zaten yapımcılarda bunun farkında küçük bir ekip olduklarını söylüyorlar ve ilerde düzeltilicek. Birde gelişim süreci çok kısıtlı. keşke daha fazla gelişim ve düşman çeşitliliği sunsa, ama bu eksiler gözardı edebilirlir.
So I work at the company that made this game. While I didn't work on this game directly, I was able to receive it for free, and I really enjoyed it! It was fun and challenging in it's default Medium mode. At first, I thought you had to play it multiplayer, but it works just as well as single player. I also liked that in the Medium mode, you couldn't kill all the monsters with just one type of hit. You had to use both the smash and shooting types of attack. Music is a jam, and the art was great. I did experience some lag at first, but it might be because I played using a laptop instead of a desktop CPU. I started to not notice it or it went away after the tutorial area. When I lowered the graphics in the options menu the second time I played, it was a lot better and smoother, so I recommend that if you have lag. Plus, I would like to have the option to save outside of just the checkpoints because there was a long stretch at the beginning that I couldn't get pass and I wanted to take a break in the middle of it. Besides that, I think it's a fun, light, and casual game!
It is a great game to chill
A truly magical and unique world. Well-done character design, environment, atmosphere, everything is there to bring you back to the spirit of the late 90s arcade games, but the graphics are high quality and the gameplay is fluid and dynamic. I've read in several places that there were performance issues with the game, but apparently they are no longer alive, at least I was able to run the game perfectly. The only critique I have is that the enemies on the map could be a bit more dense, especially on the hardest level, I think it would be a lot of fun. For me it's like a MOBA (Dota, HOS) environment design and camera view with a Heart of Darkness :)
This feels like the kind of game I could waste an entire summer holiday on when I was younger. The art looks amazing, I love the soundtrack and the gameplay is very fun and simple to pick up. It's not perfect, I feel like some mechanics could be improved on (the character is pretty slow to turn around, and the height difference can be annoying at times where you feel like you're hitting an enemy but the bullets are flying over their head). The biggest drawback though is the performance, I really hope there will be another patch to address that. I have well over the recommended specs, but because of FPS drops I found it hard to play more than half an hour at a time. All in all, I would recommend to wishlist this game and get it when it goes on sale.
Ilość przeciwników wysypujących się na poziomie "easy" jest niedorzeczna. Gra jest pod tym względem niesamowicie męcząca, to są niekończące się fale wrogów, ciągle tych samych, tyle że coraz mocniejszych wersji siebie im dalej w grze. Pod koniec gry ma się wrażenie, że podstawowa broń po maksymalnym ulepszeniu jest na nie za słaba i cały czas trzeba się wspomagać dodatkowymi giwerami. Upgrade broni też jest mocno średni, bo nie można wybrać wszystkiego, tylko trzeba się decydować czy chcesz mieć np broń mocniejszą, która strzela wolno, czy słabszą, która strzela szybko. Taki wybór tak naprawdę niewiele zmienia. Ostatni boss na "easy" jest dla mnie nie do przejścia, wolę nie wiedzieć jak jest na wyższych poziomach trudności. To ma być "easy"?! Do tego dochodzi brak mapy, levele są dosyć duże, co dodatkowo utrudnia orientację, często się gubiłem, co w połączeniu z wolnym poruszaniem głównego bohatera i odradzającymi się przeciwnikami niesamowicie denerwuje. Jako zaletę wymieniłbym wygląd, który tak naprawdę przekonał mnie do zakupu. I to chyba jej największa zaleta. Technicznie natomiast nie jest dobrze, silnik gry wydaje się działać w 50fps a nie w 60fps, po zablokowaniu na 50fps obraz jest dużo płynniejszy niż w 60. I to jest najlepsza wartość jaką udało mi się znaleźć, żeby gra działała w miarę płynnie. O płynności 60fps można zapomnieć. Podsumowując, na dużej obniżce można sprawdzić, do połowy sprawiała mi jako taki fun, od połowy już tylko frustrowała.
Very cool game. Visually stunning. Has an arcade feel to it with just enough depth to keep it interesting. 2 big thumbs up!
