Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
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): 24.71/day in the week to Aug 31 → 25.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 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.
About
In Pathogenic, you are the disease. Experience a visceral 2D roguelike twin-stick shooter where you play as a lone parasite fighting a desperate war against the immune system. Your goal is simple: infect and conquer your human host.

To survive, you must adapt. Hunt down enemy cells, rip out their organelles, and graft them onto your own body. Evolve from a simple cell into a complex engine of destruction. Create powerful, game-breaking builds and become the ultimate pathogen.

Loot, graft, and assemble your parasite from dozens of unique organelles. Combine flagella for movement, mitochondria for power, secretors for ranged attacks, and spikes for melee combat. Chain organelle effects and discover powerful synergies to build an unstoppable disease vector.

Battle a diverse roster of enemies, from basic immune cells like macrophages and T cells to rival parasites such as tapeworms or protozoa. Formidable bosses are lurking deep within the host's organs.

Collect plasmid fragments to permanently upgrade your parasite's plasmid tree between runs. Each parasite will have it's own upgrade tree allowing for a range of builds to suit your preferred playstyle.

Navigate the procedurally generated organic landscape of the human body. Travel through distinct biomes like the branching pathways of the lungs, the pulsating chambers of the heart, and the complex neural network of the brain.
Our detailed, colorful world is powered by a soft-body physics simulation, giving every cell, enemy, and projectile a uniquely satisfying organic feel. The combination of hand-crafted design and procedural generation ensures endless variety - each run offers a fresh and challenging gameplay experience.

초반은 쉬우나 후반부로 갈수록 게임이 매우 어렵게 변합니다. 한마디로 재밌다..
————就像小时候酷暑炎日买到的西瓜,切开发现皮厚肉不甜 在十个小时的体验后,我最终还是敲定了这个结论,它既有优点也有缺点,就体验来说勉强达到及格线,或许是我未更进一步体验 优点:他创新的以病菌为题材结合肉鸽玩法,以及科幻感十足的射击体验,武器以及成长系统可圈可点,多种多样的搭配可以打出很有趣的效果,多种自机可以随意选择,以及可以多人本地游玩使这款游戏达到了优秀的水平 缺点:怪物离谱的成长曲线,第二关开始体感变差的背景音乐,有些搭配会减少武器伤害(如十字放射+跟踪会巨幅降低伤害),经常凑不出像样的武器,甚至可以说某些装备如果前期没拿到中后期就要走苦痛之路,没拿到直接重来等糟糕体验。以及升级有些矛盾,改变外形的同时也会改变机体本身的判定框(尽管可以不改变外形),哪怕点了天赋不消耗能量,升级奖励依然会给你填入加能量槽以及空能量槽加伤,如果说奖励池的污染不可避免,那玩家没装备鞭毛的情况下升级奖励池会剔除掉鞭毛移速加伤是出于什么想法?(也或许是我没刷出来)以及怪物的强度成长令人窒息,第一关还是龙傲天的玩家往往第二关就会疲软下来,玩家的升级难以抗衡怪物的升级,如果玩家不改变体型,那无法装备更多内置装备和武器,同款武器难以获取,纵使有稀有道具可以统一化武器,但有些武器升级的收益甚至不如击败加伤+击败超载的组合,且在部分情况下,双武器配置甚至大于多武器配置,在没有高等级武器下的我,打全身判定且疯狂冲刺的蛔虫类怪物时一度让我回想起打神明吞噬者的感受,,可以说如果你想打出精彩的结局,你恐怕要去找不少好种子。 在喜忧参半的体验下,最后我并没有感受到如节奏地牢那种肉鸽输了还想继续玩的体验,每次被蛔爷冲击后的失落感让我不想再继续游玩,总结优缺点后,它值得一玩,但又不值得深度体验——至少当前版本如此
I rarely do reviews but I felt a bit compelled to leave one for this because it's so good. I'm a huge roguelike fan and I've sunk hundreds of hours into The Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, and so on. For many years Isaac was my go to but I was finally burning out on it after an embarrassing number of hours. Pathogenic has officially taken its place as my new daily roguelike. This game just feels so good to play and the builds you can create are so satisfying with the combinations of weapons and organelles to modify them as well as your organism. Controls feel great, the aesthetic is unique and interesting, the music is solid, and so on. Definitely challenging but fair. It's just so much fun to play if you are into the whole shooter vibe. I cannot recommend this game enough.
Dude this game would be great if it wasn't for the random switch up in the Heart boss; the entire fight is too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard to read. Unless you have some insane damage that can shred him quickly you end up dying because literally everything is red; the background, the bullets, the lasers and the random chunks that kill you.
Binding of Isaac eat your heart out.
this game is really good i like it
So far, the best Isaac-like of all time. I don't know if it will have the longevity, but it truly gives that Isaac feeling. Great music and graphics. Don't pass this one up.
很有创意的肉鸽,不同内外细胞器组合能创造非常多攻击方式,但操作感僵硬,而且科技树没点满之前每一个器官之间难度跨越巨大,容易被地形杀,暴毙挫败感明显。
