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): 0.14/day in the week to Sep 8 → 0.43/day in the week after.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.86/day in the week to Jul 23 → 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.

This game deserves way more attention! One of the tightest gameplay and levels I've seen of its contemporaries and I was shocked to realize there's still more to come in the final version! While development seems to have taken awhile the current version is well and truly worth playing!
First boss and you already have a tiny hitbox that moves too much and homing projectiles that make aiming difficult. Real bad first impression and not a welcomed one for someone looking for a Star Fox replacement
A amazing and fun call back to games like Starfox, Ex-Zodiac is a game with a lot of charm and unique levels with fun and addicting gameplay. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this game as it goes through Early Access. some small points/improvement/feedback in case the developers read this: - wish there was some form of optional training/tutorial area where you could practise with the different Vehicles. - some different difficulties to ease in players who may have never played games like this so that they can have a less punishing time with learning the controls. - an small intro crawl or something similar at the beginning to set the stage before the game actually begins just to set the stage. - some way of telling you when you have or haven't completed the data discs/chips so can keep track of the ones that you still need to collect/complete.

Isaw it on Twitter and bought it only to see if I could comfortably use gyro controls I can
Gorgeous, fun, thoughtfully designed on-rails shooter like Panzer Dragoon, Star Fox, and Space Harrier.
This feels like the sequel to the original Star Fox I've wanted since I was a kid! I love how they switch up the gameplay every now and again with Space Harrier style segments!
A very well polished love letter to starfox, pop 'n' twinbee and various other 90's rail shooters as if someone installed a super fx chip into your pc. Really hope they finish it! Also what a phenomenal soundtrack.

Bro this game is just awesome. I grew up with Super Nintendo so I'm right at home. This game kicks the new Star Fox straight in the nuts.
It’s a Starfox64 clone, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
