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.

Шутер на движке дума. Очень простенько, но со вкусом. Визуальная часть хороша, музыка порадует любителей чиптюна. Стрелять приятно, но карты и враги слишком уж прямолинейные, из-за этого проходить левелы быстро надоедает. Отсутствие достижений (а их скорее всего и не будет) только усугубляет этот факт. За такую стоимость можно найти что-то поинтереснее.
fun game, fun weapons, colorful aesthetics, good pixel art
Fun little shooter. It's dead simple FPS with cool Megaman-like visual style and sharpened gameplay. There's nothing new or unique in this game that you haven't seen in any other boomer shooter, but everything that this game has is on decent level. Level design is good. While levels here may be a little "maze-like" and have some copied and pasted hallways, they still easy to navigate, and sometimes you see that game itself leads you with arrows on walls, appearing medkits and enemies. Guns also great. Since it's a 8-bit game, all weaponry looks and sounds like they are copied straight from Megaman games, but somehow have impact of guns from Doom 2016. Like they are really punchy. And also cool chiptune music here. Probably need OST dlc. Despite everything this game has one big issue - it's too short and has not much of a content. You have 15 levels (3 episodes with 4 usual levels and 1 boss fight in each) + final episode (which technically is a one big level), but everything you'll see you can beat in like 1,5-2,5 hours. And you also have endless arenas. Also there's 8 weapons (+1 secret), and on your HUD you also have slots 7 and 8, but you will not find any weaponry that will be in that slots. Developer said that soon there will be free expansion pack. For me it feels more like a sneaky way to release game that should be put in Early Access state as a full release. And I understand that probably it was made 'cause EA status could turn away people from this game. It could've been bad, but what we've got now is a short, but polished, finished and (most importantly) fun experience, so it's hard for me to judge them for that decision. So if you good with that price for fun but short game you wouldn't be dissapointed

So totally good. The aesthetic quality is amazing: everything is super colorful and fun, I like the distinct designs of all the enemies and even the main character. Even his death portrait is pretty great! The guns all feel really great and varied, but I get the feeling I didn't unlock them all (guess I'll have to run through it again and get all the secrets this time). It all feels so good and the map design is incredibly. I never got lost even when crossing through the same room multiple times. Amazing stuff, I really can't wait for the free expansion that's teased at the end, even if it doesn't end up being free by the end of it. One of the best retro shooters I've ever played. Fun, fast-paced, and frantic: what's not to like?
I remember playing the demo back in Itch.io and I knew I needed to get it once it hit Steam. The graphics are very colorful and stylish, the music fits the artstyle and tone the game is going for. The main story is a bit on the shorter side, it took me about 3.5 hours to beat the story. I feel like the length works well though,it's paced well. I had a great time playing and I had no technical issues.
It's fun! The weapons all feel satisfying to use, and the pummeling mechanic is a simple yet satisfying way to maintain your health and encourage you to get up close to enemies. My only critique is that some of the levels can feel a bit too same-y.
If you know what it is going in, this is a good game. Personally, I found the normal difficulty to be a little on the easy side, so I'd recommend trying Hard out of the gate, in spite of the notice that it is "not even remotely fair." Devs like this deserve encouragement.
Doom x Mario. Absolutely fantastic. Can't wait for the free expansion.
The art was awesome, the level design made everything easy to follow, and I enjoyed the guns and combat. The only real downside is how short it is.
Excellent
