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): 1.57/day in the week to Aug 8 → 2.14/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.

This game is super fun. [GamingBolt] Dark Light Survivor Early Access Review - A Great Start But Light On Content https://youtu.be/FFLAEovwlDA [The Singleplayer Squad] As Good As Everyone Says? DARK LIGHT SURVIVOR (Before You Buy & Impressions) https://youtu.be/i174OXOoZPk [Merkaba18] Dark Light: Survivor - Worth your time https://youtu.be/4_KwDd0NH_4
Best way to describe this game would be if Diablo, Risk of Rain, and Borderlands had a secret 3 way love child. For being an EA title only like a month or so. There are some good bones here. More content is needed for sure but what is there is decent.(They also just recently added the void rift content which has been alot of fun!) That being said there is a bit of EA jank here and there, that's to be expected my only gripe and this will probably change in the future is balancing between weapon types. Seems like alot of builds are geared more twords Melee and this works for the knight. The other two characters seem to fall behind a little once it starts getting later game. The gunslinger can keep up decently if you max his passives, the mage however is pretty lackluster in comparison. She has nice cooldowns but alot her skills are kinda jank/hard to properly use. Also what's up with Molten Orb dealing 0 magma damage all the way to lvl 5? is that a UI bug cuz if not that seems a little silly. Although I have been using the starter staff even with the unique upgrades magic doesn't come anywhere close in DMG compared to melee/guns and I feel like some upgrades mess up the hitbox on enemies and the first upgrade to shoot more fire balls kinda sucks to aim at things in front of you considering it shoots out in a big V and is impossible to shoot things that aren't in murderhug distance. I had an easier time just ditching magic all together and using guns with the elemental procs she has...The mage char is not a mage, at the moment she kinda functions like a Siren from borderlands just...not as good. Overall despite my gripes it's a fun survival rpg/shooter with the cool ability to swap between top down and 3rd person cameras. Some builds (like melee) feel better in the diablo style where as it's 3rd person shooter mode all day for the gunslinger. Overall it's a breath of fresh air in a market heavily saturated in the Vampire survivors/megabonk style of games lately. It obviously needs some more time to cook but what the current gameplay loop provides is still ALOT of fun if your a fan of top down/extraction shooters. (Also pretty please add more characters, weapons, and skins. It's off to a great start but we need more weapons in which to murderlate the rift baddies!)

The most fun I've ever had in a single player roguelike!!! I love it so much! Everything about it is amazing, no complaints.
Love the ability to switch between overhead and 1st person in a survivors game. Love the aesthetics. Game could use some help balancing and better training/rules/introduction. But great overall.
Haven't played long, but already enjoy the game a lot, Positives Devs have a discord and are very open to listening to players they have a channel for reporting bugs It's a 1st/3rd shooter, rogue lite, has a skill tree, all cosmetics are earned There are different areas you can go to and unlock each one with a boss to fight. 3 different classes to pick from If you like Hades and Hades 2, you will enjoy this game as you level up and get perks/buffs/power ups just like in those amazing games. Cons- small dev team You will encounter bugs If you don't want to get the game now, wait for a sale or wishlist it and let the devs cook, maybe wait for 1.0 or if they're able to bring co-op to the game later down the road. But for the price point, it's worth it!
Dev team, Best of luck on this title, I think its a gem tbh - just take feedback in stride and hopefully reach vision you all want it to be. I am happy to be along for the ride since this takes me back to old shootem up overhead arcade shooters with a roguelike system on top of it (which I agree needs to be ironed out/expanded abit) makes for a great time. My only concern is within the current game landscape seeking a never ending stream of content, maybe adding upgradeable systems/benches in the HQ can remedy that but i think the game loop is fine. Good luck guys love what you got so far
The games pretty nice, I almost exclusively play competitive esports, so there's few games I step aside to play on the casual experience I love a lot of the aspects of it, it runs nice and well enough. I like the lore, the universe, characters, and character lines. The creatures are interesting, I like the abilities, etc. if you were to polish this game, and (Make it multiplayer, seriously, make it multiplayer), and make it 5$ for 3 months, I guarantee your purchases will go up, you will have more networth to work with, game exposure, feedback, and a lot of people who show interest. Among us was a basic, fun game, with a nice concept, it was non intensive, cheap as ♥♥♥♥, and probably under a quarter of the work you put in. IT was multiplayer, cheap, silly, and a nice party game with a familiar concept done in a silly cool way. There's no reason why you can't make this awesome game that gives almost a ps2 style horror feel in a modern landscape and graphics that would amazing multiplayer gameplay. it'd be easy to set multi objective based runs, etc. "world bosses" where any individual, or group of friends can come and fight if they join during say a 120 second window, and make that world boss maybe show up once a day. So whoevers around and on may get to enjoy fighting it together. theres a lot you can do
Loving it. Once more variations for buffs/equipment are added along with some improved UI issues (like not being able to click parts of menus). This is one of the cooler "Survivor Likes" I've experienced. EDIT: My biggest complaint is that ALOT of the spec trees and abilities revolve around MELEE. A good 70% or more seems to be melee oriented.
Really fun survivor game with a great dark sci-fi atmosphere. The ability to switch between top down and 3rd person perspectives is really unique. Runs fine on steam deck.
God, I love this game. Yeah, it's janky. Yeah, it's incredibly unbalanced. Yeah, the steamdeck settings make it look like hot ass. Yeah, the pixel mode is a hilarious joke. But listen, you ride into battle astride a phantom train, and the ♥♥♥♥ you do from there only gets more badass. This is a Survivor-like where the combat actually feels good. It's blowing my freaking mind. The is the definition of a rough early access game. It needs content, more items, more skills, more options, more QoL features, and a few balance passes. But it's already very fun and very playable, especially on the Steam Deck. Where, yeah it looks like a butt, but it runs a solid frame rate even at maximum chaos. It's actually impressive.
