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/day in the week to Sep 2 → 0/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.

I have some nostalgia playing this game on the PS3 from way back in the day. It was as fun as I remembered. It's very short and some of the bosses are a bit tedious (looking at you Wolf King). However, all in all it is a very fun romp that is more than worth the $2.99 it is going for right now. Not sure I would pay full price for this one though.
I had fond memories of playing the original Rocket Knight at a friend's house when I was a kid, so I thought "why not?" I regretted this decision very quickly. I knew from the videos and images that the game doesn't look very good. What I could not tell is that is just controls kinda ... bad. It's been a long time, and maybe the original isn't as good as I remember, but in these days there's just no excuse for moving and attacking to feel so lackluster and weak.

I have played the other rocket knight games and this one is definitely the worst one kinda lame but the gameplay is still a little fun, but i don't think i would recommend this game. If you want to play rocket knight just pick up the collection from limited run 4/10
This game is kinda bland and kind of boring. It's structure is as basic as it gets. The hitboxes all feel way off. The controls are great but please whatever you do, don't pay full price for this.
This version of Rocket Knight is not too difficult but also at times not too easy! I enjoyed playing it but it can take only a few hours to beat. 9/10
It doesn't quite hold a candle to the original Sega Genesis/Super Nintendo Rocket Knight Adventures games, but that doesn't mean it's bad. At least someone from Konami cared to bring our beloved rocketpack wearing opossum back :)
3/5
Just purchased this and finished the first level now. The controls are great! The music is good! Level design is good! I'm having fun and that's all that matters! So happy I purchased it!
i loved sparkster for the snes, i liked this one though i resisted at first, the art direction. around the last two levels it starts to really feel more precision oriented. last boss is tough play if you like the rocket knight playstyle, its a fun short time, look for a good deal before buying
Joguinho despretenciosamente bom, simples e de dificuldade boa, comprei para meu sobrinho e testanto acabei jogando toda a campanha, rebusca bem a atmosfera dos jogos clássicos em 2D
