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.
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.

Retro Relics is a super fun game in a charming pixel-art style. Using a metal detector, you explore different areas to search for hidden items and dig them up, which makes the gameplay both relaxing and satisfying. The simple mechanics are easy to pick up, but still keep you engaged as you hunt for new relics and discoveries. The pixel graphics give the game a nostalgic feel, and the overall atmosphere is cozy and enjoyable. It’s the kind of game you can play to unwind, while still feeling rewarded for your progress. I really hope to see more updates in the future, such as new locations, items, or features, because the concept has a lot of potential. Overall, Retro Relics is a lovely game for fans of pixel art and casual exploration games
I played the demo and got the game as soon as it released. It is a super cozy game, focused around using your grandpa's metal detector to find relics and has a main story line to complete. The only complaint I have about this game, is that it isnt long enough! I enjoyed it so much, I didnt want it to be over :)

Sweet cozy game! I finished the main story in 12 hours, so it's not complicated. I have 4 more achievements to reach at this point and a few more pieces to discover for my collection. There were some glitches found (ex: metal detector went off, but there was no loot (this only happened once!), sometimes when I would find an item it would remain in my hand/pointer and I had to go back to my inventory to insure it was "inside", this happened twice, maybe 3 times?) Overall it was very adorable and low-stress, perfect for either someone who is young/not a hardcore "action" gamer, or for someone who just wants to go wandering around, looking for things! Graphics were very nostalgic pixel/2D play. It would be a great mini-game inside of a larger, more expansive open world one. Back to detectoring!!!!
Game keeps crashing when I try to view the collection, and I had to restart completely from the beginning.
There’s something strangely comforting about slow discoveries. Retro Relics leans into that feeling completely: the soft crunch of footsteps on grass, the gentle beep of a metal detector, and the small thrill of uncovering something forgotten beneath the soil. It isn’t loud, flashy, or urgent, and that’s exactly the point. Retro Relics invites you to take your time, wander through nature, and see what stories might be hiding in the dirt.

Love the idea of a cozy metal detecting game! I like the combination of the story with its quests, the sustainable aspect of cleaning up to unlock new animals and the simple but retro artstyle. Looking forward to explore more levels and fill my museum with more relics! :)
Fun cute cozy style game with metal detecting, some fun references and interesting bits of history too. I enjoyed it!
A pretty fun little game, but that's the one flaw too; it's a very short game. Like one evening's entertainment really. Still, the challenges are there, and it feels good to find what the people hire you to get. I just wish there was more.
I loved this. What a great game! I'm ready for the next one. ❤️
I played for a few hours and it was a really enjoyable experience. Searching for smaller and bigger treasures is great fun, especially in the dark and cold season — it's a really cosy game. I would definitely recommend it.
